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

    It's possible if some providers dropped their BGP sessions and it ended up coming over someone else instead. Francisco

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

    He claimed the ban was a 'misunderstanding with the admins' or something likely due to an older shilling he personally did. You could always find him showing up, sig and all, in threads about knownhost/etc. Francisco

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

      As the horse said: We used them many many moons ago. They sold us a dual proc XEON for a good deal (was like $99/month because it was via a friend that worked there). All was fine. Network was good for the most part and their staff handled things well. ... 3 months into it they decided they...

    There was proof that some were family members and such (wife, etc), not sure how many or if any were on WHT or just other sites. They left hostdime but never explained why. I'm all for HD eating dick but still makes me wonder what went on. Francisco

    Ah TMZ, a graduate of the Adam school of business. The reason they get good reviews is because they paid for good reviews. Every time a bad review would hit WHT, 2 - 3 good ones would show up within 72 hours. It wasn't just a 'sometimes' thing, it was clock work and was pointed out by more...

    Hardware Porn (aka our new backups node)

    I'll have FH ship it probably Monday morning. I didn't have time to ship the server but it's all completed and pending :) Francisco

    Finally back home :) I'll start configuring the node tomorrow/this weekend and start hammering the last of the code ASAP. Francisco

    Not sure yet. That table was a warzone. At one point I was assembling NJ storage, KVM nodes 13 & 14, new nodes for OVZ SSD upgrades, & the beast we call the desolate one. Francisco

    As am I :D I've honestly not been this excited to roll a feature in a long time. Francisco

    There's ways of making it go the distance ;) I don't expect everyone to want them enabled anyways. Some users will insist on doing their own backups and some will disable them due to privacy concerns. Francisco

    Of course :) Do they even make anything > 1TB in a 2.5" form? I thought I saw a 2TB but I don't think so... Francisco

    Alright I had a minute to snag all the drives out of the cage for a glamour shot. Since I know someone will ask (probably Aldryic >_>), the roll of toilet paper is being used to wipe down heatsinks after I used some thermal paste removal. Yes, there's a trash bin full of what looks to be...

    FFFF I completely forgot that Sherlock started again! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16848035626 You have to be careful. The stuff is super strong so if you place it wrong you better be quick to pull it off. It has no problem sticking to a chassis case. I installed one of...

    I've been a tourist a few times already :) I leave tomorrow morning so I got a long day & night ahead of me. I'm not bothering going back to the hotel tonight. I brought my bags here and if I end up with excess time I'll catch up on TV shows I've missed. Francisco

    There was a $700 price difference :) 3.5" mounted on its side is just the OS drive. The OS drive will be hit so rarely that it didn't really matter. Francisco

    I'm keeping the RAID setup to myself for now ;) We use 1TB EVO's in all the OpenVZ nodes. Each OpenVZ node has 8 1TB EVO's in RAID10 using an adaptec 7805 for the raid card. These drives are just 500GB ADATA ones. They're just for read caches and such so it's not a big deal if it died. We do...

    Hardware Porn (aka our new backups node)

    The original idea behind backups was to charge for them. Coincidentally, during the time that we were discussion costs and such, we had a handful of customers rage at us because they managed to rm their own files and never had their own backups. In the end, we're eating the cost of it on all...

    Let me get the prep work done for the storage & addons nodes and then I'll snag them. I'm quickly putting together everything. The biggest issue is that I have to sit around cleaning off the old thermal pads. Thankfully I should have all of these boards done in the next little bit. Francisco
