    I'm not sure if we've had it on the abovenet/NTT side of things, but I know they've had some problematic floods. They've actually asked us to help them build an autonull of sorts for both of their brands. Right now i'm just getting my few projects finished (backups are being a pain in the ass)...

    ColoCrossing / VSNX Starts it's Hostile Takeover of the LOWEND VPS Market

    I don't think resellers are a big issue since it's on them to figure out their own market. If CC launched a fully managed, high end (& higher priced) offering that didn't touch LE pricing at any point? Then I don't think anyone would have a complaint. It's shitting where you're eating (which...

    ColoCrossing / VSNX Starts it's Hostile Takeover of the LOWEND VPS Market

    I'm not getting the 'oh really' part >_> It comes off like you're trying to prove him wrong but then provide the very domain. Anyway, for a lot of providers they're in a position of "They can't leave CC even if they wanted to in protest". I've never been happy when a provider competes with...

    NON-CC GVH

    Speaking as someone in the exact same shoes, the owner has to work on finishing his site. His 'dedicated servers' tab was full of stub data and if I didn't click the 'from $xxx' link I would have assumed it was just an anchor tag. I'm not sure why Jon would order from such a site unless he got...

    NON-CC GVH

    Did they give reasoning for it? I'm not really surprised that things will favor L3 over Cogent for so much of their transit. They'll have to setup weights to try to balance things more. Francisco

    Nightly backups enabled at BuyVM Las Vegas!

    They might be using an LVM snapshot so it's kinda cheating :) For KVM we'll probably do something similar so KVM snapshots won't require a power down. OVZ's are a flat filesystem so we don't get to use that kind of magic easily :( Francisco

    Nightly backups enabled at BuyVM Las Vegas!

    So the snapshot is complete and not changed mid way? :) Francisco

    Nightly backups enabled at BuyVM Las Vegas!

    It's free on all plans with 256MB or more RAM. For now it's just OpenVZ until I can put together a better way of taking snapshots on KVM's. A few users have been asking to see screenshots of how things work so, here ya' go! It's very simple looking since users don't have to 'buy in' for more...

    Nightly backups enabled at BuyVM Las Vegas!

    Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that nightly backups have been enabled in Las Vegas on all 256MB (and larger) OpenVZ plans! For now, we'll be keeping 7 days of rolling backups but will likely increase this to 14 days. Snapshots will be enabled later this week once said sync is in...

    That's the most on topic comment i've seen in this thread. :D Francisco

    The gun thread

    I wish ranges were more common in Canada. The few times I went shooting (once in Vegas, once in Texas), it was a hell of a lot of fun. I could trailer park boys it in the back woods but eh... Francisco

    Target confirms leak of 40mil CC data

    So what came of this all? Did they find the attack vector? I'm assuming this was more to hurt Target than it was to just steal CC's. I know a family member of one of our staffers had their card cut up because of this. Francisco

    BuyVM Legal Defense Fund? LOL

    True, sort of. The original statement had me add an 'Uh huh' at the end, but I went back and added quotes because I felt the "uh huh" wasn't sarcastic enough. Francisco

    BuyVM Legal Defense Fund? LOL

    The only code we used was their web interface and that was available for public download for the sake of creating new skins. You didn't even have to be a paying customer to get it back in the day. I don't know if that's the case in their bootstrap setup but I know it was during their SMARTY...

    Gotcha!

    Incorrect! Aldryic applied at CC before we started to see the iffy side. I worked at DSN in a slave room in the back. I never got paid and smelled like a hobo because of it. One of the owners went on about how much of a good christian he was yet literally tried to throw a monitor at me. The...

    Kloxo installations compromised

    What a clusterfuck. At peak we were pushing ~1.5M pps out over this crap. A fairly big handful of nodes simply locked up from conntrack being so slammed. Not a great thing to get woken up over. > :( Oh well, I got some adjustments in place that I wanted to. Francisco

    GVH suspended after minor use of 100TB plan

    Alright? Mhmm? OK. Wild guess but could be on the mark. If this is a 100% come clean, it's possible CC will mark HVH as their fully managed brand and "sell" off the unmanaged (read: LE priced) customers to address possible conflict of interest concerns. The managed part is a likely, where as...
