    The gun thread

    Most of my buddies that go camping usually have someone in the group with a shotgun. That's true. There are a ton of other restrictions, was trying to give the broad strokes. No shortage of silly restrictions

    The gun thread

    So many restrictions, which most US gun owners would go "what the fuck is this shit?!?!" I have a non-restricted & restricted license. So non-restricted is the majority of hunting rifles/shotguns/etc - pump/bolt/semi-auto/etc. Anything >18.5" barrel length is typically non-restricted. I can go...

    The gun thread

    Took 3 months, $300, 16 hour training course + testing, but I finally got my RPAL (Canadian Firearms License) Looking at shotguns, trying to decide between a Mossberg 500 and Remington 870.

    €1,99 dedicated server

    I've got a couple 2 Eur/mo specials mostly idling (SC Gen2 w/ 160GB drive). If you can deal with the smaller drive I'd be happy to give you one - wouldn't be opposed to trade for SD account credit either ;)

    Backup Space

    Hit up MarkTurner via LET, might be able to work something out. They've advertised it as 4TB bandwidth before, and were honouring that - I think a recent WHT thread listed 4TB and Steve (sales at Delimiter) mentioned that if they ordered and mentioned that thread it would be honoured.

    Who was your first VPS provider?

    Probably JaguarPC or HostDime, was running a tiny shared hosting company with a friend in 2006-ish. Then SliceHost for unmanaged in 07.

    Cheap managed VPS?

    cPanel license alone is ~$15/mo. So you're looking to pay at least $10-15 premium on that for a 'decent' host. I believe KnownHost has some coupons that bring the cost down to like the $25-30/mo range on their lower spec'd boxes. If you're looking for something cheaper, but dead simple to...

    HELP! I have a VPS problem! (It's been 2 days since my last order)

    Uggh. I have too many, and just bought 2 more from KuJoe before seeing this thread. I'd also be interested in the monitoring script, if I need to fumble around and learn some python I'm up for it. I have this page up listing a few (not nearly all) of my VPS's/dedis: http://myuptime.rocks -...

    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    Makes sense. I appreciate the feedback. I've been looking at some of the posts on BackBlaze after DomainBop posted one, I could probably utilize consumer drives in most of my gear. I'm looking at some 1TB drives for one of my servers, and I can easily afford to order a couple spares and still...

    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    Thanks guys. I ended up grabbing a pair of 512GB Samsung 850 PROs that I'll be putting in RAID 1.

    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    Cheers. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I have a 128GB 840 PRO in my desktop for the last ~2 years and its been flawless, got an 840 EVO in another and that's been fine too, but the performance is definitely better on the PRO. I'll should probably err to the PRO side, it's ~$70 extra per drive...

    Am I asking for trouble using consumer SSDs in a server?

    Looking to purchase another box to colo and want a pair of 480GB+ SSDs (will be running them in RAID 1). I'm seeing other folks using Intel 530 series, Samsung 840/850 PROs & EVOs in their boxes. Just wondering if I'm asking for trouble using a pair of consumer 480GB or 1TB SSDs in a fairly...

    Dell PowerEdge C1100 with dual 8 core Xeon L5630s, 72gb ram, 4x 2tb hdds

    I'm not too familiar with Dell gear. Does that server have IPMI w/ remote console & virtual media? Since it wasn't mentioned I think I've answered my own question, but: any HW raid? Also: $575 shipped?

    Renting vs Owning Hardware: Things to Consider

    Great write up :) I've only recently colocated my first couple servers and it's definitely a learning experience. I think there's a sweet spot you need to calculate for rented vs owned and it depends a lot on the server specs, location, etc. As an example, it makes zero sense to purchase a...

    Dual Xeon e5-2630 v3, 128GB DDR-4 ECC, 10gig port, 2x 1TB SSD, LSI, A+B Power, VPSBoard price $199

    Agreed. I got in on the killer colo deal Incero previously posted and have been preaching about my awesome experience. I know 1 provider joined up after I kept blabbing about how great they are, who I think also picked up one of these deals.

    RamNode OpenVZ SSD 128MB (NL)

    I know, I was just sharing that it could potentially be a better option than Seattle.

    RamNode OpenVZ SSD 128MB (NL)

    You should test out the new los angeles location, perhaps it'll give some better results for Australia/Asia. http://lg.la.ramnode.com/
