Three Months, Ten Users, Zero Problems: @crunchbits and bashvm Deliver 100%!
As I guess many of you know, @crunchbits gave me a dedicated server in Washington State. @crunchbits made the server free until November 8. I named the server Crunchy.
I decided to give away 4, which later was increased to 8, Crunchy VPSes made with bashvm. Bashvm is an open source set of bash shell scripts from @babywhale that simplifies KVM VPS creation via libvirt, along with IPv6 and firewall management for IPv4 NAT.
The 8 Crunchy VPSes were sold quickly for a one time payment of $1.01 per VPS covering the entire period from March 11 until November 8. That's practically free!
You can still see the offer thread here: MetalVPS at Crunchbits: E3-1245, 2 vCores, 4 GB DDR4 ECC, 1000GB SSD RAID 10, 1 Gbps, $1.01 once!
All 8 Crunchy VPSes have been running continuously, in addition to a couple of small VPSes that @subenhon created manually via the command line. I have two test VPSes (currently shut down) and have occasionally run tinyproxy. Recently I started keeping some backup files on Crunchy as well.
Ubuntu and bashvm have handled the few Node updates seamlessly. The bashvm VPSes are set to restart automatically upon reboot.
I have logged in to Crunchy multiple times daily, checking load averages, running vnstat, and sometimes using tools like top or htop.
A couple of days ago, it struck me that Crunchy has been 100% available! There hasn't been even a single issue of which I am aware, nor have any of our Crunchy neighbors reported any problems. I've been particularly pleased with the lack of network issues. A new yabs is posted below.
Based on three months use by ten of us (8 VPS users, @subenhon, and myself), having zero problems is quite impressive! Congratulations to @crunchbits and @babywhale! Thanks again to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy!
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

Haven't you got affected by the fiber cut?
The all seeing eye sees everything...
Yes, but everything seems fixed for several hours now. Are you still affected?
It's humorous that something happens right after I said all had been great for a long time!
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Seems to be ok now.
Just seemed odd to me that you posted a praising article in the middle of a major event for them, and did not mention a thing about it!
The all seeing eye sees everything...
I posted before the event happened. I didn't know the event was going to happen. Crunchbits didn't know that I was going to post.
Stuff happens to everybody!
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
