As an aside, we have limited stock in LA at the moment (new nodes have been installed, but unfortunately some drunk decided to run into the local Cox cabinet, so I am working off of LTE tethering right now) -- it should be resolved tomorrow. We are launching Dallas tomorrow and Chicago next week.

We have a throttler on the I/O to ensure a runaway VPS cannot do much harm.  The "rescheduled requests" part of the graph is I/O that is rescheduled due to the throttler. Yes, as much IPv6 /128s as you want. We are debating offering this under a special brand for low-end VPS.

Dallas and Chicago monitors should be coming up by the end of the week as compute infrastructure is deployed at those sites.

Not quite. It is Debian-like (in some ways a fork), uses OpenRC instead of sysvinit (Debian 8 is likely switching to OpenRC, although there is still some handwaving about it), uses the apk package manager (which was at one point intended to be an APT replacement) and uses uclibc instead of...

The most annoying aspect of Google's security efforts is that, at least in my experience, they don't notify the netblock operator of the compromised/attack sites, so you find out about them later. I really wish they would do that, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for Google to...

Basically you can do anything you can do on Debian that involves the main repos.  Obviously Alpine itself does not support proprietary software (unless it is linked statically) due to using a different C library than most distributions. Also, the platform we use for everything at TortoiseLabs...

Hi guys, I'd just like to point out a distribution that is optimized for low-end boxes called Alpine. Actually, it does well for big iron as well (we run it on our dom0's).  But it does really well for low end boxes. As an example, here is a clean install of Alpine booted up on Xen showing...

If you all launch ads, we will likely buy some adspace. :)

I've had to diagnose beepcodes in a cabinet before, I had to get my ear very close to the server to hear anything. So yeah, it makes me wonder about the cooling at CC, for sure.
