2tb 2.5" http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236551 It's 15mm tall so it won't fit in most laptops, but this form factor has gotten common in servers. In 9.5mm height there is a 2TB SSD if you've got $4k to blow...

It looks like I'm spending about $15.5/month total on vps, not bad for ten of them, especially since the three most expensive are $4/mo, $3.25/mo and $2.8/mo (all billed quarterly) making up 2/3 of the costs.  The rest are low end annual plans ranging from 0.35/month (3x lowendspirit) to about...

Wow, I want one of those-- just put LVM across all 24 drives, sell it as a KVM storage plan, and I'm all over it ;) Those 500GB caching SSD's, are those EVO drives like the ones user files are on?  :O By RAID7 do you mean this...

I just mean it surprised me that even largish ISP's can get something as large as a /29.  ipv6 is looking like a bust anyway though.

I thought end users normally are expected to get /112's.  If they're giving out /29 like candy maybe there will be a v6 address shortage after a while ;).

First gen Nexus 7 screen has high enough resolution for its size (and my eyesight, ymmv).  Main attraction of 2013 version for me is the higher res camera. 

This is starting to sound too fancy.  I'd leave out uplink speed since it's just a marketing statistic.  I've never seen a VPS including an expensive one, that can actually saturate its uplink. Maybe it's simplest to put the whole thing on a wiki page, instead of doing some fancy database...

Debian is somewhat of a techie's distro, though less so than Gentoo or maybe Nixos. Ubuntu has more creature comforts and tries to be more corporate friendly and likes to do stuff like install spyware/adware.  I've been at some companies that used Ubuntu.  Ubuntu isn't terrible but I get the...

What I mean is, some of us prefer not to use paypal if we can help it.  I know almost everyone accepts paypal but it would be nice to know which hosts also accept other methods.  Thanks.

Aha, I somehow thought the ARIN fees per address were much higher than they are.  Maybe they ought to raise them as it seems they're enabling pretty serious hoarding right now. https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html

1. I've never heard of any Android tablet, cheap or otherwise, coming pre-rooted.  Can anyone give an example? 2. The current Nexus 7 hardware seems really nice from everything I can tell. 3. However I'm scared to run Android in general.  Leaving aside NSA tracking, there is also GSA (Google...

1. Current preference is to use scrypt rather than bcrypt.  Of course if you can hash with a secret key that's even better. 2. sha256 as a hash primitive may be disadvantaged by its popularity ;-).  There's a heck of a lot of last-generation bitcoin mining hardware out there, some of it in...

For very small plans like your 64MB, I would have thought the dedicated ipv4 address was a significant part of the cost, or at least will become that way once the endgame arrives for the different hoarding schemes that various data centers are up to.  But you're more in contact with the...

Nice.  I notice the "50 (euro) cent" Prometeus Dallas server has a wrong conversion to USD price (should be 7.80 iirc). I'd have a somewhat lower cutoff for "cheap", like 20-30 usd/year.  Some of the higher priced plans listed are just crazy. Might want to have a column for payment options. ...

Well the LES idea is they sell very low cost vps's by not including a dedicated ipv4 address.  Just ipv6 plus they NAT a handful of high-numbered ports from the host node's main ipv4 address to each vps.  That means there are a few services like SMTP and DNS that you can't run on ipv4 because...

If you've got ipv6 it would be great to have some lowendspirit-style plans, e.g. a 64mb vps with some dedicated ipv6 addresses and a handful of NATted ipv4 ports. 

Would be nice if the "new content" subject links had tooltips showing the content and timestamp of the most recent message.  Some other boards have that, and it's conceivably a config option for xenforo.

Looks good.  The separate 32/64/96 plans never made much sense from what I could tell.

Yeah, emailing passwords is pretty common practice.  It's also typical to have a link to reset your password by email.  That lets someone with access to your email get to your control panel and take over your VPS anyway.  Most KVM hosts I know of also make you configure your server through...

The ones we had worked pretty well in 720p.  There was a suspicious-looking firmware upgrade for 1080p that required running some equally suspicious binary blob under Windows to load the firmware into the stick, so I never ran that. It might be possible to find the source for that thing.  I...
