Wow, didn't the S5 just come out like... last year or something?

Making my S3 feel old. :)

Not to be taken seriously, ever!
Pretty funny. Got a VPS invoice from DukeXFSGreenValueSolutions.


I went to go cancel & tell them get... any of the 6 VPS's of mine working / connected to the nodes, as they can't even connect to the node, but now they have a TacVPS logo.

Doubt it's a April Fools Joke, but a ripped URL / theme, etc.

Rebranding in progress?

Always knew Joost De Valk couldn't walk on water. It was almost a year ago that I wrote in their support area that their XML sitemap completed screwed up my XML sitemap, so I reported it.  And I asked asked why so many of his releases felt like extra BS updates simply to appease Google because of how they were being rushed out.  Anyway, between his other 80 billion updates last summer, and nobody caring to respond to me, I did some exploration of my own. Admittedly most of why I was there was just to compare his sitemap paths with mine, but still it was a pretty simple tweak to his URL that caused it.  Google can keep him.

I just found it hysterical and ironic that, not only was it "the largest Yoast update ever"l, but that everything that could have gone wrong was directly underneath the question "Are you ready to optimize?"

How about no?

I think the second screen shot was about two hours after I sent him the first one.

Yeah, that's not me. Honestly, I have better things to do.

And HostSlim's DC is not a "real" DC; it's basically a garage turned DC. It's all backhauled through Amsterdam by the looks of it.
Garage turned DC in a city that is in a province that is seabed turned landfill.  Serverius is one of my least favorite NL DC's but my negative perception of it is probably due to HostSlim who holds the record for cramming the most VPS's onto an E3 (search LET and you'll find my stories from a few years ago of nodes running out of drive space and iops of 1).

Vultr likes to brag that their UnixBench scores kick their competitors' asses (see https://www.vultr.com/benchmarks/).

Uh oh, it looks like someone is kicking their ass:

Sigh.  Head down to the fleet shop this morning to cut up some 1/2" angle, doing some modifications to my gun rest.  And this happens.

Cut right through its own damn housing.
