3-step VPS provider pro tip for preparing your first #winning low end offer:

step #1: edit  /etc/fstab and add 'tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0' and reboot

....

step #3: always use the dd test result from /tmp in your offer and sit back and enjoy #payday and #high-ranking-in-top-provider-poll

Which in part, always has made me laugh.... because piping one big stream of literally 0 to disk is real world simulation   It's about as relevant as doing a rm -rf speed test.

Now for part 2 where you illustrate same approach to inflate your ENTERPRISE SSD prono utilizing ploop and it's speed "enhancements".

No, had nothing. Will do from now on, of course. I think they took the beating from the modem; all three of them were connected to it and the cables didn't look very healthy. Fried   

Anyway, will be going to the local computer store to have the stuff valued, then they will send the bill for the insurance company...which hopefully means, in the end, help me for me so I can re-build the systems with minimal loss of funds..

Do you have them on a surge protector?

 

[texteditor]

I'd always be more worried about data loss than anything else, only because I know I never have everything backed up

Having a surge take out a bunch of hardware at once makes recovery a bitch, and is my biggest fear

After spiders of course

 

[k0nsl]

Ya, it's not fun, that's for sure. But life goes on

I haven't reviewed the disks yet, I'm hoping they're okay and that the data ist still on them as well...hey, a man got to have his hope, right?  :lol:

Spiders, eh? Hehe.

Sounds like you had local lightening hit ground nearby k0nsl.

Once had that happen during a storm.  

It actually got inside via pipe or wire and I had a ball lightening flash in my basement then where I have another office.   Was surreal.

Somehow in that event nothing that I am aware of got broken.

Too bad my electric utility provider isn't nearly as good on outcomes.  Their power is wonky and voltage all over the place.  Stacks of bad stuff from brownout like conditions with them.

That idiot at LEB just posted an offer for a provider that deadpooled on November 1st.  You'd think the default CPanel page would have clued him in that it was deadpooled.

Gotta love when you make someone butthurt, and they spend the rest of the evening trying to DDoS an insignificant irssi client   Really, it's no surprise some kids end up in the situations they find themselves in.

I'm glad I never had the misfortune of experiencing that.

Also, DDoS is so "mature for his age"

Looks like the offer got pulled.

Count yourself in good company.  I had my dose of DDoS what was that, a month ago now?

Just a reminder with the new year wishes and plans to double up on protection and nesting to keep folks steps away.

Well I give Kossen credit for finding his BALLS.  I mean doinking at BlueVM = attacking his "employer" ColoCrossing.  

Cause, CVPS owns BlueVM, and CC owns controlling interest in CVPS.

I like reading LET and LEB at times like this.  It's like retro, go back in time for me.   Cause I already said about them, situation, what would happen, ahhh eons ago.

CC sheds non-CC location for investment brand.  That's like the umteenth time that happened.

That thread is almost as good as the LEB offer for Hostress.

...and the problem with that is the #winning business plan is no longer winning because there is a plethora of better alternatives .  The reliance on unsustainable annual plans to meet the monthly bills was a house of cards just waiting to implode.  Rated F for #fail

 

[rds100]

I think the business plan does not necessarily rely on profit. They just need to keep the company alive until ARIN runs out of IPs. They probably expected that ARIN would run out sooner.

 

[DomainBop]

Yes, Virginia, ARIN changed the rules and "SEO" is now a valid justification for IPs

Doc said the same thing a few months ago and was bashed...


Did anything changed? is the nda ending?

is the nda ending?

Thought that was sometime in early 2015.

Lowest price for IPs EVA!  Sucka, did I say 50 cent, I meant 25 cent.  But fo' you one dolla.

What you want support?   Oh that's enterprise money.

The kid has a perma smile and no regard.  I kind of wonder if asshats like Donald Trump were groomed in their youth by similar business sins - thumbing the customers in the eyes, public blow ups for fun and marketing awareness, etc?  Some days I think the kid is a genius for negative marketing, but I don't have his financials to confirm that unbridled insanity pays.

Kossen only needs to ask his boss what is up with BlueVM.  They have the keys and drove that vehicle head straight into the wall crashing it going full bore all out stupid.

Guess we won't have the entertainment value of YET ANOTHER BLUEVM OFFER any time soon on LEB. Bummer, I was contemplating returning to LE* for a proper reunion and punt festival. 

This probably all contributed to the lack of the 12 days of Christmas rob me plans of doom specials o'er der.  Out of shill CC brands and Halloween facemasks to hide behind (well ones folks might buy from).  NO mass CC taking = no Christmas for you mortals.

That is just more Ho-stress. Ho ho ho, ho stress.
