I forgot I had Observium installed on a RamNode VPS that is monitoring part of the vpsBoard fleet. Although I had forgotten about it's existence I was happy to see it still running and collecting the following stats: My top 3 uptime VPSes: DigitalOcean -- Piwik / Analytic server -- 1y 58d 11h...

That's pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I don't think it's any more fair than normal billing, just more convenient for the business owner than for the end-user I'd reckon. My personal, non-hosting related bills are not prorated. The day the service begins is the day I get billed for the service the following month.

Curious what providers here think about pro-rated billing. It seems that some of the obvious pros to billing this way would include things such as collecting all (or most) payments on a single day of the month, which makes accounting and planning easier. Only real cons I can think of would be...

Thanks for the updates, certainly some good points made. Reviewing my immediate area available to me, probably wouldn't be super wise to do anything here unless I could get some of the sensors above the tree that is nearest my house which wouldn't be very economical unless I built an antenna...

Well, that didn't last that long.

Curious if anyone here is operating their own weather station or participating in wunderground's Personal Weather Station program. Seems like it could be something fun and interesting to do. If you're unfamiliar with it, you can read more here...

Aside from not stepping on the toes of people who'd want to do such things, DDoS filtered services is becoming more and more affordable. I get more than adequate protection from BuyVM and RamNode. For the price it can't be beat, and their are more and more options in similar price ranges...

What datacenters are in use?

Good for them.

Alrighty! I just responded to about 10 PMs that were pending a response from me... so if you contacted me in the past week or two those should be updated.

Unsure, doesn't look like it. Ideally I'd like to remove the post count in there too so it's invisible. Domainbop was obviously being sarcastic. We don't remove content by request unless it's something like a double post, spam, or a personal attack on another member, etc, etc. I've had a few...

I get a lot of PMs and I'm really bad about prompt responses. I tend to read them on my phone, or read them at times I am busy and forget to respond to them when I have the chance to as they're already marked as read. So, because I am not the only one who can offer assistance with some of these...

Do you want to manage it? :)

Hell yeah, good update. And I agree about RamNode, always up!

Don't you know that you can make more money if you keep the same old hardware and just put twice as many containers on it? purple = sarcasm

Maiden flight is tomorrow on my newly built FPV mini quad! Still gotta tune the settings but the wiring and build is good to go, the rest is software side. Glad that soldering is done, spent like 5 damn hours doing that. It still looks rough but I didn't trim wires to size. Will do that some...

Don't feel bad. Just this year (maybe it was late last year) I got tired of not having Netflix on Linux and got a media PC that I told myself I'd use for Netflix and gaming. (I played SIM City for like.. .6 hours and haven't been back). Later, I installed Windows on my laptop because I had some...
