Have you considered asking Jon from GVH for a job? I think your skill level would be a good fit with his organisation.

I'm not sure I'd say that - AWS's APIs are exhaustive to the point of being intimidating.

Yeah, it really is a dick move to not make such limited DC availability public so people can know before signup.

According to their support, Sydney and Tokyo won't be available until mid March and other OS options won't be available for at least 10 days. That on top of the atrocious security fuckup makes me wish I hadn't put money into this thing. I expected better from Choopa - it seems clear that this...

This is quite old.

It's a month later. Would you care to eat your words yet, Mao?

It can be an intentional branding decision to be deliberately un-shiny too - e.g. TinyKVM vs the main RAM Host brand (not the shiniest, but you can see the deliberate difference here), or for a non-VPS example the Tarsnap backup service.

I was reading an interesting New Yorker piece about a consumer shift away from loyalty to brand names and towards seeking reviews and other information instead. It got me thinking: if you accept the premise that people don't give much weight to branding any more, how would/does that affect...

I'll unblock ads on VPSBoard the day there's a promise that there will be no more multiple-megabyte animated GIFs.

I voted for Kodos.

How is that any different to, say, someone having a BuyVM Storage KVM VPS in Las Vegas not wanting their vote to be counted towards BuyVM OpenVZ in New Jersey?

He might've scared off the people who know better but really, people like that are a tiny minority of the market. LEB has become the land of continually increasing numbers to keep people handing over cash for way more than they need. The vpsBoard schism might've taken away a decent chunk of...

Aw, come on, I can't go off on a tangent based on something someone said? :(

While this is a good point, and there is an undercurrent of racism in the way some people talk about people from India, sometimes it's just people being awkward describing the real factors (language skills, culture clash and outsourcing to the lowest bidder). It's pretty hard to deny the...

Shame they can't do the same with Google+.

Oh, it's time for another useless drama thread, is it?
