    Most UPS batteries that I have seen, large and small, are Lead-acid based so they're similar to car batteries but they're actually more like boat batteries.  I know they're making some UPS units with Li-ion batteries now but I'm not sure it's cost effective for large scale deployments.

    Spam/Replica Friendly Providers?

    I never understood the replica websites, why would you want to deal with a probable scam when you could head to your local flea market/chinatown?

    MR: Your interest in an Atom-powered dedicated server in Los Angeles?

    At $25 a month I might pick one up just because there's not many budget hosts on the West Coast, at that price point at least.

    Hostnames

    (City or Country)#.(domain).net For countries where I only have one box, I go with the country name, e.g. it for italy, de for germany, etc.. For countries where I have multiple servers I go with the airport code followed by server number.  For AAAA records if I don't want to use dual stack...

    How much would you pay for these?

    Indeed if you have the money and want to pay for it, including build out which can be a significant expense, I can't see why they wouldn't take your money.. Getting decent fiber to the home is not always possible, I know FPL Fibernet (Joe should know them) wouldn't do any service to residential...

    What do YOU use to monitor your servers?

    Since my free year of Pingdom ran out I've been using my own system(distributed over 5 LEB's to reduce the chance of a false positive), vnstat for bandwidth monitoring and UptimeRobot, so far so good :)  I would like to try Observium but I could never be bothered to set it up.  I'm working on a...

    Colocrossing's Million Dollar Routers are Switches... Top of Rack Server Porn. Old Cisco.

    It was suggested before that Buffaloed should create a blog about his CC "discoveries" to keep this forum neutral and uncluttered.

    Budget Phone Service

    I would imagine it's much easier to setup a good cell network in a nice flat place like Florida because the signal will travel farther.  I don't miss it FL, I'm sure I will once winter actually starts, but I know no place will ever be like it :(  I figured that the WIFI would chew through the...

    NSA Utah Datacenter goes up in flames

    I think "Going up in flames" is a bit of a stretch, I've found several articles describing problems with the electrical systems and cooling system issues but I haven't been able to find a single picture of smoke coming from the facility.

    Budget Phone Service

    That could be it, some bands don't propagate nearly as well as others, this is the only downside to WindMobile but I am hopeful for the coming spectrum auction.  It could be also be that you don't benefit from Sprint's roaming agreements and other contracts.  It's crappy that the only phone they...

    Colocrossing's Million Dollar Routers are Switches... Top of Rack Server Porn. Old Cisco.

    I would imagine that most providers rely upon on-site tech's for many of their POPs, it doesn't pay to have a tech in the area if you only have one or two racks. I do emergency tickets and monthly maintenance for a few clients who have servers in Peer1 Vancouver as it doesn't pay for them to...

    Budget Phone Service

    From what I read RW coverage isn't exactly the same as Sprint, although their website is down right now so it's hard to do  more reading.  I don't have data to back it up but when comparing with family members and friends I've found that CDMA network coverage is inferior to GSM networks.   It's...

    Budget Phone Service

    I have had Sprint from 2007-now (SERO Plan), and I never had problems with the quality of their network.  From the swamps of Florida to the Colorado ski-resorts to the forest of the Pacific Northwest I always had service, now their customer service is a different beast entirely but I haven't...

    Liam Leaves the Low End. Bye Liam.

    Indeed, how does one not know who their employer is?  It's almost as silly as that guy from ZekeServers trying to pretend he was someone else.

    Comcast Jacks Customers Again - Modem Rental Fee Raised to $8 a MONTH!

    I used to pay $4/mo for AT&T's god awful U-Verse router, it wouldn't even let me tunnel IPv6. :(  Now in Canda-land I have Telus and I bought a modem/router outright and it does allow tunnels!

    Which lightweight self hosted remote monitoring script would you recommend?

    You can do it in bash, will be the most secure and use the least resources.  I create downtime logs with traceroutes on downtime so I can see where the problem is or you can send a mail alert or both.  If you want to monitor ports as well you can use nmap after ensuring the host is online.  You...
