    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    Well not to rain on the parade, but I've kicked this idea a bunch of times in past 2 days. Customers buy in this segment for 2 REASONS: 1.  Geography (includes datacenter). 2.  Personality / trust factor / reputation of the company. Of course price is a factor. Mind you these are customers...

    iwStack, a Prometeus project - who is using them and network throughout

    So to biz side of things... This is a small instance like you described #2.  Where is the virtio driver setting?  Take it is in the Cloud Panel right?  Haven't looked yet. Can you push the /etc/sysctl.conf optimizations to the templates?  That certainly helped and might be fine for lots of...

    Looking around their panel control for the VIRTIO here in a bit. Upstreams I am unsure of.

    @SeriesN,  I am here man.  Send me a message or a smoke signal if something is afoul.

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    This is from a week ago.... on WHT Link: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=8973613&postcount=16 So I'd say semi-confidently that whatever deal that was done, wasn't involving SeriesN, although bearing his name. SeriesN has been a good friend to many around here, a good stand up...

    iwStack, a Prometeus project - who is using them and network throughout

    Running Debian 32-bit minimal.... I made the tweaks recommended by @budi1413 (thanks friend!) Download speed from CacheFly: 7.29MB/s Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 6.84MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 7.32MB/s Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 3.40MB/s...

    Nope, giving that a spin now :)   Reboot required?

    Another movie shooting

    Unsure how/why race would get dragged into a gun issue and crazy cop issue....  Shame... You all realize that in the US the first gun laws were indeed racist in nature.   In the South namely the Dixiecrats (Democrats) sought to disarm newly freed slaves.    There is a reason the founders of...

    Very different and strange. What OS / ISO image are you using?

    Another movie shooting

    When guns aren't available the idiot criminals will do harm with knives.  Take those away, they use hammers, screw drivers, fire, etc. Guns are the greatest equalizer ever known til this point in time. A tiny frail woman can put down a wolf, a big black bear or a crackhead.   An elderly widow...

    Another movie shooting

    Shot or stabbed.... Well, depends...   9 out of 10 times, I'll choose being shot and yeah, I've been shot and left for dead.  I've also been slashed pretty badly.    Stopping a slashing injury can be next to impossible.  Plenty of people bleed out.   Many shooting wounds are manageable, unless...

    Another movie shooting

    Yeah some cop kills are justified.  But then two things come to mind: 1. The foreigner in NYC years back who was repeatedly violated with a plunger in the rectum while in police custody, by police and died from perforated colon / internal bleeding.   2. The recent multiple incidents of...

    iwStack, a Prometeus project - who is using them and network throughout

    Guess I should amend this some... Is anyone aware of a network issue or perhaps speed limitation with filtering?  Realizing they are including "filtered" IPs at this point / what is being used? Is there any current network degradation going on there that anyone knows of?

    iwStack, a Prometeus project - who is using them and network throughout

    I've been testing an iwStack cloud instance tonight for a friend. I am a fan of Prometeus and have had good experiences in the past there. Ran one of the freevps derivative scripts and found the network performance everywhere super slow.  This is a fresh empty container, so nothing competing...

    Another movie shooting

    So a retired cop shot another movie goer? WTF? I tell you police are damn dangerous.    More people die from police than the other direction by quite a large factor. I wonder if we can get a 10 mile traffic jam, have a mass funeral procession, shut down business in your metro for the fallen...

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    This is darn strange.  Everyone I know doing deals does proper due diligence, involves lawyers and meets face to face, even on small deals.  Exception is only where you've dealt with entities prior / have a personal relationship. Dealing in email means you can't be sure who was on the other side.

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    Oh?  I, ummm, well, wonder how that's going to sit when all is said and done.  Seems like a soiled / tarnished asset and by my observation, at least some subset of customers are undergoing / have gone through second migration in as many months. Strange dealing all around.
