I wish my clients Linode's were on E5's: Here is a Linode I just spun up a few days ago or so... Intel® Xeon® CPU           L5630  @ 2.13GHz

I am late to the thread, but as someone who has been around for a moment in the industry, I only have a few comments. 1. If your going to be a provider, have the ability to be contacted or have systems that work for communication. For example, if you "launch" your new company, and I try and...

That is pretty neat -- been using two factor ssh logins with Authy on a few test machines, just wish SCP would act properly with it.

I think of my really short commute also...from bed, to shower, to desk, woot!

3Tb ssd for 12k -- reminds of back in the day, when ole timers would say "I paid 2k bucks for that 100Mb hard drive".

Just checked the specs on the Microserver from HP -- for me, I have concerns for you with the latest FreeNAS versions, as it's such a memory eater, compared. We have 16gb of mem and dual L5420s on the machine I have talked about, and with versions 8.x-8.2 of Freenas,  we had no memory issues...

Might as well contact them and ask what is happening? You should mention your issues with some details on what you are seeing, and if they care about their customer, they will respond with something. Hopefully they will be able to let you know that they are working on something, or have seen...

We had been using WD Black drives, and had fine performance and not a single issue during high IO(for a couple of years) -- when we moved to 3tb Seagate Constellation disks on our platform, nothing but problems. If you have a caching device, you maybe able to get around the issues we saw, but I...

I have used it in small office environments and other environments for awhile. I personally think freenas needs plenty of memory if your doing or planning on using deduplication(otherwise not as much), and would recommend using enterprise drives, as I have personally had lots of issues using...

I have been offered jobs that seemed to be "lost in communication" for awhile. Most times, the hiring managers or owners are busy, or have simply forgotten about the last conversation, but still have you in their mind as they interview others and mull over the hiring. If the position they are...

Finally had a moment to try out NodeQuery -- so far, it's quite simple and has a nice interface/frontend that is fast, and displays useful data that is important to most people that run systems. From what I can tell so far, the single node I have configured seems to be sending accurate data...

Nice -- I happen to be a solar Arduino guy, starting with a sun tracker for a small solar array, and self powered with solar also of course for the cpu itself. I went to radio shack, and didn't see any solar cells I was looking for(kids kit worked at first, just pricey for the lack of power) --...

I haven't had a chance to "check it out", but it does seem like an interesting project - thanks in advance!

+1 for Qimo -- let the 5-6 year olds play around with it, and they seemed to like the games. Their instance of Qimo is not connected to the net and just runs as a virtualbox vm with Linux Mint as the host os. 

@KuJoe - Corgitech and Backupsy have machines in Denver at HN also - personally I like the Denver area, as it seems to have good connections to both coasts. Looking forward to the the OH and OR offerings.

Gosh, had no idea the shell could be so fancy. After too many years of sys administration, I just use a multi-tab terminator or just default debian/ubuntu display.

Pretty sure you know of gluster: "The final volume may then be mounted by the client host using its own native protocol via the FUSE mechanism"  I usually use nfs for sharing gluster machine's data -- I guess it does have it's own way also(api as well), although I haven't tried it, but it...

Vultr is a service I will most likely never try - otherwise, I am a bit put off how choopa is essentially a competitor to their customers with this launch, but oh well, it's their business.

Guess they are looking for scraps that have fallen off of AWS/DO/Linode/etc (vulture just isn't that appealing)

DO has improved much in the last few years, but I would say there is not much difference in DO and the better VPS companies that are out there today. For example, in the start, I emailed DO and let them know what I was thinking. as I had done similar with appfog in their infant days also - DO...
