I'm wondering how many hosting providers are looking at the Microcloud stuff from Supermicro.  I know Dell has a similar product that has been growing in popularity as well...

What do you need the IPs for?

We have a huge dog, and failing that, a Mossberg 550 in the part of the house where I usually am.

I am using Gravatar.

This mostly affects setups which use container virtualization or memory dedup.  Xen, for example, is unlikely to be affected.

This is why the BMCs should be on a private network not accessible from the internet, where the only external access is through a VPN.

What does dmidecode say the motherboard is?

I am starting to suspect that some AboveNet POPs may have an incomplete IPv6 BGP table.  For example, 6to4 to/from AboveNet MIA is unreachable.  But Dallas and Chicago are fine.   Regarding obake.canonical.com, it is possible (and the most likely case) that there is an incomplete IPv6 BGP table...

They are not planning to.  It is a marketing stunt.

We're not really an LEB host.  Our average conversion is $50-100/month in revenue.

If the server is properly configured (i.e. using bfq-iosched), then there is no such thing as I/O abuse anymore.

I think I will just add a web chat applet for our already existing IRC channel, which has quite a bit of people enthusiastic about the service.  It seems easier.

So, a few questions: Do you guys think offering live chat on a hosting company site is worth it?  Are the conversions enough to justify paying a few people to man it? Is there any live chat system that connects to either XMPP or IRC, so that we do not have to use proprietary software just to...

This was actually likely an overheat event.  OVH nodes restart on MCEs such as PROCHOT. In BHS, all nodes are IPMI-based, so if you use ipmitool on the node, you can check the System Event Log for an MCE.

Why would I want to offer 128MB at a price point where it's not worth it to me, when I can offer 512MB at a price point that makes sense instead? Every VPS is going to have the same net-abuse risk and support load.  Why go through all of that on a VPS which costs less than $2/month?

Well, they use SHA512-CRYPT, as far as I understand.  And their status site update corroborates that. Of course, if they only do one round of SHA512-CRYPT, then it is still pretty trivial (a day or two per account) to crack the password I guess. In my opinion they should reset passwords upon...

But that's the point.  They want another shell company they can assimilate in 6 months, they don't care about sustainability. If they cared about sustainability, they wouldn't target lowendbox community for a "launch a VPS company" promo.

Well, I am talking about the initial password being stored in /root/.p.  But, all of the dedicated servers I have ever gotten, I just did my own OS install using IP-KVM or IPMI, much like my colo'd gear.

looks pretty nice.

It seems so.  My question is why were they retaining this information on the customer server?  Makes no sense to me.  :(
