Anyone here using any ARM-based CPUs for doing audio encoding?   Can be something in a datacenter or it can be something on your desk. Interested in MP3 encoding mostly and LAME based.   Looking to see what anyone is squeezing out of ARM platform on performance, especially with the multi core...

Question:  What exactly is gobbling resources? (the main command firing that is tanking things) I'll assume it is mysqldump :)  Common point of problems in such scenarios. Backups are prone to resource issues due to IO piling up.   To lesser extent (and rare) that it is truly CPU lagging. For...

^--- This. You really need to be pushing a ton of traffic and lots of users (normally)... And, should be rather heavy on image type content. Other CDN plays for stuff like nearest download site which attempt to get files on short distance path and ideally lower latency (which is meh, random on...

I've read the lingering stink thread over on the other site.   Person who posted about Ian's wife is supposedly and admin/support person for Tactical. I had high hopes for Tactical, but this set back is a white flag surrender.   People are understanding of life changing events.   Even the...

Their website abducted by browser and CPU... pretty sort of designs, but alienlayer's is horrendous loading. They were one of the first low cost companies I stumbled into alienvps to be exact. They keep sort of dying then reappearing, like a bad Zombie flick.   I never bought from them due to...

Yeppers, to DigiPlus.

That price isn't unrealistic, especially since pre-paying. 5520's at this point are still a bit above the throw away pricing of the 5420's places like Dacentec still push mainly.  Dacentec will RTO these and at worst maybe you need to buy more drives from them or ship them some of your own...

Did you miss all the multi-month drama with Burst?  Take over by vulture investment fellow... months later, moved the company out of Pennsylvania real quick and ditched customers.  This included leaving customer servers in Dunsmore datacenter unattended.   Others moved to North Carolina had big...

$5 wager on them emerging as another DigitalOcean wanna-be....

Word has it that the Arcus Brothers, last seen running quietly from the mess at Burst.net in Pennsylvania, are considering jumping back into hosting. They've been out asking for pricing for a new company that will focus on .... drumroll ... VPS. May I recommend a modern bastard name for the...

Maybe they'll buy Burstnet next :P No one wants the tattered remains of BurstNet.  Zayo is WAY smarter than that.  <--- Considering the price of the UK buy ($250~ million USD), pretty sure that deal included physical real estate in addition to fiber, gear, customers, etc. The UK deal also...

About that $275 million financing in May:

BREAKING NEWS The ever-popular southeast USA hub in Atlanta (AtlantaNAP) is in the process of changing hands. GNAX seems to have a quite a big build out in Atlanta http://gnax.net/data_centers/atlantanap.html.  They also operate in Dallas, Texas. The buyer of AtlantaNAP is reported to be...

Same game is played by the tech giants with their foregin subsidiaries.  Like holding say patents in Ireland and charging licensing fees to themselves... I kid you not. Just because such games are "legal" doesn't make them ethical.  Then again, nothing ethical per se about taxation either.

Pretty sure that was the offer.

Anyone aware of a full interview? I like Snowden. We learned his grandfather was in the FBI and recently (past decade). That Glen Greenwald who has the data and his new book, yeah added to my reading list.

RAID6 I saw on an ad recently.. Rare to see it mentioned. Big trick everyone and their shady mother plays is SSD caching. Then there are similar PCI-E memory/disk solutions... but people aren't RAIDING those today... As a provider your best best is 4 spinning drives + hardware RAID controller...

Any time a company is sold or taken over the enforcement of contracts is murky at best.  Depends on the language of said agreements and inheritence clauses. There is a reason these guys hide and lie about their ownership of companies.  #1 is they don't want customers mass defecting since they...

What that site blueprint shows is the 3500 sq. foot existing CC new headquarters to have the following: Grafted addon of over 2k sq. feet onto existing building. New 30k 3 story build with one story below ground. It also has another 60k sq. feet of office space that is to sit over a 2 story...

Fabozzi went on a bender the other night when his colomart.net was sniffed as being involved in more shell companies and someone mentioned it on WHT and we had the thread on here... see: That was the 29th at 2AM I posted that thread and the dramarama on WHT was on the evening of the 28th. The...
