(Quote) So far they haven't been scammy so I think in principle they are still ok.
-
(Quote) We can only do what we can. Google reviews, check forums etc. Those who get scammed just have to treat it as school fees (myself included). Besides, you can do whatever you can to help people and they will still find ways to doubt you. I ma…

Do we allow cashback offers for freelance services? @SpryServers_Tab
-
(Quote) You can freelance on LES as a dentist.
-
(Quote) Yea, iperf is a much better test because we can ignore the first few seconds in the bandwidth test to get a better sense of actual throughput at time of testing.
-
(Quote) My day job is a researcher and we fight about methods all the time. I think all things considered, Geekbench is probably the best composite measure representing CPU and RAM capability. The rest are relatively deficient in one way or another.…

(Quote) You most certainly already know the direction to roll. My data is added confirmation.

(Quote) I am lost.

(Quote) You are not wrong in that the top contenders are all superb in terms of customer service, but I think the folks who come of LEBRE may not necessarily be following LET, so I think the more likely explanation is that AMD did make a difference.…

(Quote) Thanks for another pair of eyes. Will put them up :)

Whoa.. the LESleuths are on overdrive
-
Lube alone is insufficient. You bend over as well with legs wide open too.
-
I have been tracking LEBRE's statistics and very interestingly, since the news of the mass deadpooling broke, the top 3 providers in the whitelist who has been clicked on are: * ExtraVM @MikeA * Buyshared @Francisco * NexusBytes @seriesn Given the…

@uptime lol I like the word "droppings". Pieces of crap indeed.
-
@uptime Thanks for the input! I value your opinions :) The list has been massively updated and any refugee from the recent mass shutdown have more choices to choose from.
-
(Quote) I absolutely agree, but these will take time. Paper specification evaluation is helpful for making quick decisions on a limited time deal. Besides, I only feature whitelisted hosts, and these hosts are almost guaranteed to be managing the no…

Normally I will caution correlation is not causation, but when you have 20... the odds are way too low that they are unrelated.
-
(Quote) Not sure what happened there. Will monitor it to see if it recurs. Thanks for providing an additional pair of eyes!
-
(Quote) That's true. :)

This is great research material for my whitelist. Do write your experiences here so that I can make an informed decision on adding more reliable hosts to my whitelist.
-
@uptime thanks for the list! It certainly helped me remember some obvious candidates that I missed whitelisting, namely: AnyNode Hostens Ikoula OVH Scaleway SSDBlaze SSDNodes SecureDragon SoYouStart TerraHost TNAHosting TurnkeyInternet Virtono If …

(Quote) If you commit to buy enough boxes, it will happen.

(Quote) I see some mixed reactions about Contabo, but a lot of it was in the past. I haven't seen many recent Contabo experiences. Could you point me to some?
-
(Quote) Naise!
-
In light of the latest mass LEB deadpooling, I thought of improving the whitelist on LEBRE through the community's collective wisdom. If anyone has hosts worthy of whitelisting that I am not aware of, drop a reply. If you would like to second any su…

(Quote) This is why 500MB to 1GB files are usually better because the effect is greatly diluted after a while. If I have time I will modify an existing script to use 1GB files instead (with a warning on high bandwidth use)
-
(Quote) I prefer iperf but problem is there are few public hosts in APAC. I may run my own APAC iperfs using my bundle from @mikho (never done it before but should not be too difficult I guess) but no way I can make those public servers.
-
(Quote) Ok, I see where you are going. Not sure if he deliberately intended to lay the blame on someone else or he just panicked, but both sides could have handled this much better for sure.
-
Thanks everyone for the input, especially @uptime. I thought there was no curl timeout issue, but when I investigated more, it seems like timeout was indeed an issue for certain locations. I modified the timeout parameter and now the speeds are simi…

(Quote) That money buys you only one beer here.
-
(Quote) I am not sure what you mean. Not very PR-ish for sure but certainly trying to minimise damage in a responsible manner.
-
(Quote) Yes and no. Many of the tests use big providers like Linode and Softlayer, which is ok. Results are fairly consistent. I am contemplating changing to 1GB download tests instead of the 100MB most scripts use (or to iperf) because often it see…
-
I hope it will be a professional discussion. At least here, if not on the other site. Can't see any fault with how @HostDoc is handling this for the moment.
-
(Quote) Thanks @somik! Good to learn from your experience so that I don't walk down a known rough path. I guess I will just have a dual boot configuration for using applications that require the GPU in Windows. Everything else I will just roll a min…
-
(Quote) That's why for my own benchmarking purposes, I might set up a private iperf on my mikho SG box. Can't make it public.

(Quote) YABS uses iperf but the problem is there are few Asian public iperf servers. The one in YABS often doesn't work.
