Damn.  Too bad you don't ship to US.  This would have been a nice step in the direction of upgrading my workstation to 128GB RAM.

iftop is your friend, but basically, that only does you some good when you're not doing NAT. As I understand it, this is a NAT scheme.

95.128.47.39 is not announced by OVH.  It seems to be some dodgy UK provider I've never heard of. Other than that, Free VPS schemes rarely work out, IMO.

I don't think that MongoDB is worth it.  There's a YouTube video which satirically goes through why it's a bad idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs

Yeah, the banners were very annoying.  I am glad they are gone.

Prorating is not really something that fits well for us.  We have bills with different datacenters which renew on different days. If our bills lined up on a single day, then we would prorate to that day.  But, they don't, so it makes no sense to us to do it that way.

Why wouldn't they be?

IIRC, Internap only provides guaranteed network access inside US and Europe. Has this changed with their acquisition of Voxel?

20mbps is guaranteed for 512 - 2GB RAM vps, 60mbps is guaranteed for 4GB RAM VPS and greater. We only do this to those explicitly looking to waste bandwidth, though.

Yes, relay nodes are fine.  We will throttle your traffic to bulk-rate (as listed on each offer) and deprioritize it, however.  You will not be able to just burn 1gbps of bandwidth. :P Yes.  BFQ disk scheduler ensures strict fairness, even with torrenters on the nodes.

We have a 15 kW generator that runs on natural gas.

TortoiseLabs is pleased to offer an exclusive deal on our TortoiseCloud VPS services for vpsBoard readers. We have recently released a streamlined VPS management experience, which you can see here. Service at a Glance Locations: Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Montreal, and London...

It is fine in Oklahoma, but, it lags occasionally.  I suspect the lag is PHP or MySQL related, IPB has a lot of social networking junk that makes it perform poorly at times.

The Chicago monitor has been online for a while. We will have infrastructure online at Serverius DC by mid-August (some planning is still being done), so there will be a monitor there too. nfoServers will be added in the next config update.

I use Alpine on both desktop and server.  I have Windows running on a VPS for tasks like IPMI usage.

You have to know the key that is enrolled into the yubikey.  IIRC, it's just TOTP though. I guess you could enroll another key into the yubikey after your job completes, but you won't be able to use it for both at the same time without knowing the enrolled key.

My background is pretty lame.  My father ran a dialup ISP in the 1990s (first V.92 provider in Oklahoma!), so I pretty much carried on from that. When I was 16 I was running a shell provider with another kid who had just turned 18, the only reason why I was around for that was because I knew...

  I bet it is vulnerable in the same way as the official Solus one.

Curious -- what do the statistics look like?

At least 3 years ago: not really.  Not sure about now, haven't bothered to have premium membership on WHT since then. Also, HostingCon is a crock in my opinion, too.
