    WireSix/FrontRangeHosting CDN, PUSH PULL VOD STREAM @ 0.038/GB or 39.00/TB

    Sounds good, looks good. More info. There is a $5 account startup fee.  Of that something is usable towards BW/use... How does one accomplish the $39 per TB?

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    Are we still going in circles on this one? Fran never had swing at LET.  Like most Fran things people abused his kindness and propensity to work for free / be helpful. If Fran owned/ran LET, you bet your a%% that today the clown posse wouldn't be in possession of the sites over there. I know...

    Fixed: Some users couldn't post this morning

    Note to all: keep your server time/date synched. I've been down this road before.   IPB broke only slightly.   Certainly are other software packages that break worse.

    Red Hat, Inc Aquires CentOS

    For profit corporation buys "free" software...   These deals usually go bad, even if it takes a few years.   I never kept up with CentOS business/income model....  So curious why the sale is happening.

    Looking for some Benchmarks and a KVM

    Skylar is a good dude and active in various communities.   He runs a good company and is big on transparency.  Even when it's something unfavorable like recent node issues and fsck's that took too long to run. If you have a problem with Crissic, feel free to come back and say where things came...

    2014 Android rooted cheap tablet recommendations

    Nook HD+ ...  Would that be booting the OS from the microSD then?   How does that perform?  Have a similar hack with a Barnes and Noble model and it sucks / slow booting / running like that.

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    Funny watching the crazy "Nun" attack GVH.  Strange bedfellows in the lowend...  then they go to squabbling about who gets to be on top this time. I won't even guess how many containers GVH is rolling out on a node with this special.   Considering the crazy 4GB+ of RAM per container and general...

    Looking for some Benchmarks and a KVM

    Container benchmarks are rather useless. I still glance at them, but I don't put as much faith in them as I use to. Crissic is pretty good.  Have used a VPS there (have other US East locations I prefer --- more peering, closer to my interests geographically). Ticketing is REAL fast when any...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    That LET thread about GVH - review ---> GreenValueHost VPS Review (New Years Special) It makes me lol... They are experiencing the reality of people buying and actually using some of their resources, unlike most others. This is the hazard of crazy pricing, huge disk and insane transit. I...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    ^--- you know Fabozzi use to own the domain snakeoilsalesman.com.  True story. 4 cores allocated, but you can only use 2.  Hmmm... So I can use 2 full cores 100% 24/7 then.   That's reasonable. I take it whatever fundraising goals GVH had are quickly becoming a horror story in-house.   LET...

    Monitors and RasPis

    You could backup to the Pi :)  Me I am just weary and have had too many issue with USB storage to revisit that again.

    Yeah @mikho, Mann butterfingered his PM yesterday and a subset of the users got a double dose.    First one had a typo/spelling thing... Content - new lacking was the time issue.

    Monitors and RasPis

    USB2 speed would be the limitation along with USB's flakiness and prone to fubaring drives. For such a beast, there is the Cubieboard that packs a SATA port. Contemplating a Cubieboard + big SSD for cache and file storage on a wireless network --- as the central out there "on center" storage.

    Hehe!  Maybe I'll Gimp it later to put the customary - fair use - now "legal" black X on it :)   You know 123Style

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    Welcome back! Yeah your corporate changes fubar'd me...   GTT gobbling those overages or what?  Everything properly tamped down now? Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming big pipe DDOS mitigation / traffic cleaning.  ETA on public chatter about that?

    Fixed: Some users couldn't post this morning

    So,  this morning some folks were unable to post.  The group of people should have been those who posted last overnight inside a time window.  No user group, just based on activity of those users --- all of them. IPB (forum software) was giving odd long times before they could post again --- an...

    Auto installer for small vps?

    Minifying a new Debian install isn't really much to accomplish. Remove apache2.2, samba, winbind, xinetd It's a good 1 line of apt-get autoremove.... I have a server build human script I follow and re-write from time to time....   I like that style of doing things.... instead of the...
