I'd probably work with them, although my distro would have a very different UI.

I'd make my own distro and contribute back to the projects it relied upon, largely Debian. A fully-free Mint of sorts, with optional proprietary things being available as highly containerized packages. Improve Wine. Support Haiku. Push AMD for open drivers.

Running a 0+1+1, or 0+6or10? I used to have a 0 on my computer and 1 pairs, now I have an SSD and 3 1 pairs...

Origin is spyware. It puts in a browser plugin that monitors traffic and is needed to launch some games like BF3. It also monitors what software is running.

Ya Google gives full read access to it's databases and archives to the gov so anything Google knows, which is a lot, they know.

  Actually I was thinking of just lying about it altogether. Say RAID0 but it's actually loose drives, or JBOD... I don't get the point of JBOD, it's slower than running drives separately, unless parallel R/W is now supported.

I don't trust any RAID other than 1, the bigger the array, the more likely a failure. Even RAID1 can be a pain, my software simply uses 2 drives in parallel, completely parallel like a boss or just snapshotting. Rolling check for difference, copy & rename over, no overwrite... never...

Oh well; running loose individual SSDs would be just fine as long as there's local backup storage.

I wonder how well RAID5 would work with SSD... it's awful with HDD. Could have a ton of triples, then you'd get capacity and reasonable protection. Or... you RAID0 SSDs and have HDD storage, 2 virtual drives, one stupid fast, one purely for backups.

Monthly, welp that's kinda useless. Why not just mount a virtual/net drive on people's VMs for people to use themselves for backing things up?

Self hosted ads? I wish all sites did that.

You need to make your own 3D milling machine so you can print objects from blocks of wood. Screw carpentry skills I have technology.

How far do you oversell OVZ? 1:2? I run game servers which use huge resources so I must do 1:1, but with web stuff 3:1 seems like the comfortable limit... any higher and things can blow up. I find HDD I/O the biggest issue hosting OVZ/KVM, you need a really nice array.

11TB/50GB= 220 clients and 660GB sold but 96GB physical... so you're going 6.875x instead of 3.75x?

Ok, I don't see how this works, or I do. 96GB box; that's 32 3GB clients, $198 per box, less with bigger containers... well that doesn't cover operational costs. That amount of HDD storage; 10+10(no 6+6 plox) so 6TB usable I'm guessing - tells me you're seating 6000/50=120 per box... 3.75x...

Tickets are awful for commission style work because the amount of work a ticket needs can be 5 seconds to an hour depending on the problem. You really just need to do regular auditing of hourly work. The ISPs I know pay min wage(10.25) to $25 depending on the support position, the shady ones...

You can hire me for $30 an hour, I can offer support on all levels and in all departments. lol

All EU states are puppet states, it's the whole point of the EU, to end national power.

Small planes, not safe unless you have a great pilot and it's inherently sturdy.

10ms can be important when you have thousands of international clients on a single cluster in a game which has realtime combat. Is there an API my server can interface with to indicate who I want to block? Cookie-cutter DDOS protection is useless for me since the traffic is UDP and uses it's...
