    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    I'd love to see a west-coast location other than Vegas, but Anycast sounds exciting. Seattle to me is ~12 ms while both LA and Vegas are over 40. Congratulations and great job!

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Same shit happened to me a few years ago, except they took black spray paint and covered my entire windshield and driver's side. It was late at night, and I needed to get home, so I had to clean it off with my t-shirt, vodka and water. Nothing makes me more upset than people needlessly...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    I've been away from Head-Fi for a long time, since they changed the theme actually. From what I remember, Little Dot, Schiit, Fiio (as mentioned), and Nuforce were very well-regarded. If you want to build something insane, I remember many people building the Gamma 2 which likely remains one of...

    SSD guru needed. Looking for an SSD with good Garbage Collection.

    I'd avoid hybrid drives, since your controller is a rebranded LSI model. It seems to support CacheCade. Instead of 10K SAS, I'd look for some WD Black drives on sale. They do well in RAID, benchmark well, and have been very reliable. If you go the CacheCade route, you can also selectively place...

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    Green Mountain makes the best K-Cups by a long shot I've found. They used to be hard to find here in Canada, but now they're actually pretty common. I got the same machine that @QuadraNet_Adam has about a year ago, and really like it, because you can buy empty K-Cups and put whatever grounds you...

    SSD guru needed. Looking for an SSD with good Garbage Collection.

    I've heard bad things about SF controllers in the past. Using an Agility 3 right now and can't complain, but I know a lot of drives were DOA due to initial firmware issues. Samsung has been picking up speed though, with many people using 840 Evo and Pro. I'd recommend the 840 or 850 Pro due to...

    one way to get banned on wable.

    Wable is owned by Incero, so the company isn't  new. They've stated from the start that they won't tolerate nonsense. Here's here last year.

    BuyVM - New website design?

    I really like Proxima Nova, it's a lovely font with great geometric properties. All elements are nicely spaced, and the new icons don't distract you from the actual content. Signing up in 2010, I actually really liked your current/soon-to-be previous design; The new design, though, is many steps...

    Chicago VPS scammers

    Why is it that everybody who dislikes CC or LET are immediately bad people? Please, get off of your high horse and try checking into reality for a moment. I don't particularly care what you have to say on this subject. You (indirectly) called two people biased with the quoted post, but in doing...

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    I agree. Where I live in BC, Canada, there's probably close to 100 indy coffee shops within driving distance. Even after drinking coffee for my entire life, since I was a child even, I still find myself going to Tim Horton's or McDonalds. Starbucks tastes bitter, burnt and stale to me. Tim...
