  • Also, this discussion made me realize something: DDR4 ECC can end up almost as expensive as DDR5, simply because it spans a much wider range of platforms than DDR5 ever did. From: E5-v3 E5-v4 Xeon Scalable Gen 1 Xeon Scalable Gen 2 That’s a hu…
  • (Quote) True, and yes those might work and yes, RAM might be as expensive as the whole server ( no drives ). I just forgot about the E5-VX Line, I am trying to put it in the past forever, but yeah, you might see services on older hw popping up on t…
  • (Quote) I presume it will be a complete shit-show price-wise for the next 1–3 months, as usual. Speculation is doing its thing — some will gain from it, some will lose. If nothing new hits the market, I expect things to stabilize around March–April…
  • (Quote) True and honestly, with today’s prices for RAM, storage, CPUs, and everything else in the mix, it’s becoming extremely hard to deliver good services under $10/month. As for $10/year deals, those depend almost entirely on how much the host i…
  • (Quote) =) =) I knew that will get your attention =)
  • Updates Backups for some services are already visible in the user panel. While not all services are fully fixed yet, progress is ongoing and we are steadily getting there. During debugging, we also identified additional issues which have already b…
  • (Quote) :+1: That always fixes the issue =)
  • Fellas, Just wanted to say...... (Image)
  • (Quote) Thanks 🙂 By the time we’re done, we’ll probably call this phase the “December 2025 HOST-C PURGE” 😄 Stuart actually started calling it that, so credit where credit is due — and honestly, he’s kinda right. Small update on the backup situatio…
  • (Quote) Thank you, and Merry Christmas! At the moment, we’re not running any Christmas promotions. We decided to focus our time on resolving ongoing backup API issues, as ensuring service reliability is more important to us than announcing new offe…
  • (Quote) They never will, as it is a Closed Datacenter Owned by RDS-RCS ( now DIGI ). You can get only if you are a long time customer and pass their "standards" in what you bring there. They do not advertise Colocation services, fuck, at …
  • (Quote) NO, that is related to SW fuckery, while your backup gets done, and it is visible on the backup server, from the latest and greatest SW update it does not get shown in the user panel. We have a fix for it, but waiting for a maintenance wind…
  • (Quote) I think it is time we move from billions to trillions, billions are getting pretty common these days.
  • (Quote) Here is the problem, JOE was not my minion. Stu - resident minion did he's task correctly - I know cause I checked the logs. JOE from the DC did the fuckup. Either way, I am happy this was not an upgrade done on a cooling system in a Nucl…
  • (Quote) ok, just found out the issue of the random power off on the customers that did not get the email. It seems, oh boy........ That the fella in the DC is a bit color blind, and powered off the wrong fucking node, even tho that the correct one…
  • (Quote) So does HOST-C (Quote) that is the same as @"Shot²" , sry bro.
  • (Quote) =) =) =) Nice :+1:
  • (Quote) I think I know why that happened. I hope you got back the trillions :p @"Shot²" - mail stuff fixed by now Sorry for that by the way, that was on me :p moving forward: Over the next few days, your Fiat 500 Xmass Promo Deal VP…
  • we changed a NVME drive to a new one. ( old one was at 7% wear level and that is the upper limit for us ) Since we use only PCI-EX Enterprise cards, we have to take the server offline, open it up and replace the part. Forgot that these 26 bay units…
  • (Quote) why anything with "winter" in it reminds me of (Image) =)
  • (Quote) as long as your service runs, IP's are not taken down from BGP, why would you "Freek" Out? - see what i did there? =)
  • (Quote) yap, those will not, plus others thatw ere in the BF / xmass sale in 2024. They will be migrated to Scale Gen 2 as promised. I am just waiting for nodes to get silent a bit after the house keeping .
  • @jtk 2GB ram will be a bare limit for 1 table full ipv4 and 1 table full ipv6 If you run soft reconfiguration inbound you will need twice as that. I presume you will use Bird2/frr? maybe vyos?? if you wish to have multiple tables, 16G will be t…
  • Well, the upgrade from Scale Gen 2 to the next platform will be a big one, as we will leap 2-4 generations in CPU, this mostly because DELL does not have ant 26 bay models on G15, only on G16 and G17 R7X0XD2 chassy ( DDR5 ). But those are like their…
  • (Quote) yappp. well, I will not say indefinitely, as in 10 years from now i highly doubt we will run Scale Gen 2. =) , but the G2 will not be scheduled for decommission anytime soon. Once I will redo all the TOS from ground UP, it will be sent ou…
  • Well, I think it is time we do not use forums for support tiket , tho this falls under announcements, here it is: A Look Back at 2025 and the Road Ahead Dear customers, As many of you know, we entered 2025 with an ambitious list of improvements w…
  • (Quote) that is pretty cool actually.
  • I would personally go M2/3/4/5 any day of the week.
  • (Quote) Interesting fact, we actually had close to 0 problems like the ones described in the mail with the vast majority of the "active" users from here and OGF. And I am proud of that! PS: (Quote) Anyone should have one sincerely. =…
  • (Quote) Now what would you do with that amount of ip's..... aaa, correction that amount of /64's?
  • (Quote) Most will actually benefit from these decisions in the mid-long run, some will not. It is what it is. Just be sure to have some Pop-Corn on idle, I do expect some fallout in Late December / beginning of January titled: Shit HOT-C deleted …
  • (Quote) THX, I appreciate it. Those that got the mail now know why we were kinda off this year and absent in the Deal Threads. And Yes, I did use AI to correct my typing, you should have seen the draft, not even I understood it =)
