    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    I don't think that's how it works..... I'm pretty sure EXT4 would just re-allocate the same sectors for the last 10GB file. I've looked into an LVM based solution but was unsure of it. Francisco

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    @Geek - Have you tried the latest ploop? It looks like they provided a way to zero out bad blocks and they feel that the issue is due to writeback mode being set on EXT4. Francisco

    StyleXNetworks Going Out of Business

        OnApp was some of their issues but I think they used a subpar SAN setup to begin with which did them in heavily. There's nothing wrong with off-the-shelf SAN setups (big ass nix box w/ some fast connectors), but if you don't know what you're doing you're going to lose your mind on it. They...

    DigitalOcean keeping busy

    Didn't they launch a London location or am I mental? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some of their roll outs were in locations that were way too expensive so they roll these new ones and simply depool the older locations over time to phase them out. Since their whole business model is...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    Any little bump is probably people that didn't renew or people that decided to move to smaller blocks (some people do it due to costs). @SkylarM - That's a huuuuge commit. It's honestly a big backup of all the people that have been waiting for space. We'll be < 0.7 again soon, especially if...

    Chicago VPS scammers

    I'm guessing they don't sell a lot of WHMCS licenses and that said big client was one of the main people for that. It's likely they don't have any sort of group discount or some sort of reseller priv's with WHMCS to make their billing easier. It's quite likely that they get pro-rated at the...

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    So hold on, do you still have credit for an instance so you can make another one? Or is this their way of cleaning up the corpses and continue this "service"? Francisco

    BUDGETGEEK TELECOMS LIMITED / 32MB Club / Random Bans

    Yeah I gotta agree. It's an ongoing joke that most foreign comedians run with that parents don't beat their kids enough. I always get a kick out of it but when I saw crap like that I was in full agreement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CpKKQrhqkw Francisco

    We've all done it...

    I can't think of worst, but the latest one I did was when I was coding a new "Contact Us" page into WHMCS. The one provided by them doesn't support Amazon SES, gmail, or any other SMTP service that validates what the 'from' address is. WHMCS actually forges the source email instead of properly...

    BUDGETGEEK TELECOMS LIMITED / 32MB Club / Random Bans

    But seriously. You all need to calm your tits a bit here. I know a good chunk of us came from LE* where motives are, more often than not, questionable. I'm pretty happy with how VPSB has handled many cases, even some long drawn out wind bag threads. To date they've done nothing to burn our...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    Yep. From what I've heard they've bumped their standard 2 - 3 business day turn around to 5 - 6 business days. If you're lucky you can get subnets in a couple weeks but if you have any delays you're looking at 1+ month. They did get that /12 yesterday but they also almost ate up a /16 today...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    ARIN's going to empty faster than their own predictions just because a lot of large corporations haven't picked up their last space. ARIN got a /12 from IANA yesterday but that doesn't change much. I don't think i've seen Amazon, rackspace, etc, get anything in the past little bit so they're...

    Huge increase in brute force attacks?

    No no. Our IDS monitors the whole network, in this case that sampling is from New Jersey. Each ban is because it tripped an alarm and got itself banned. Francisco
