It's nice not to worry about noisy neighbours, and a low end dedi can come in competitively priced against a similar sized VPS. Then again, the risk with a low end dedi is that you have a single point of failure in the form of a single (probably an…

(Quote) Yeah, yeah, I get it. Microsoft evil. I'm just saying, Github's distaste for IPv6 massively predates any involvement from Microsoft; it really has nothing to do with them.
-
I don't think it's fair to blame Microsoft for Github's insane resistance to IPv6 - they've been saying "oh yeah we're working on it" for literally decades.
-
NAT64 makes it fairly painless, but it bemuses me that providers will sell you an IPv6-only service without running any sort of NAT64/DNS64 gateway for stupid parts of the internet that refuse to enter the 21st century (yes, GitHub, I'm looking at y…

(Quote) I would predict that fully 90% of people who get their accounts terminated know damn well how they've broken the TOS but they delude themselves that if the shout their supposed innocence loudly enough Virmach will inexplicably believe them.

(Quote) If you're not looking for performance, why "preferably NVMe"?

(Quote) Only if they're dumb enough to have multiple accounts.

(Quote) We're all waiting to see what's in our mystery boxes...

(Quote) What IPv6 do they come with? The checkout page doesn't even mention it, outside of the "save 50p by skipping IPv4" tickbox.
-
(Quote) I would suggest your problem starts with the phrase "from a scalper".
-
(Quote) I don't claim; I said "if". I notice you're not denying it, though...
-
(Quote) Not per se, but if you've been breaking the rules with multiple accounts it might be tactically poor to keep drawing attention to yourselves...
-
(Quote) Because power/bandwidth tends to be pricier? I mean even with the Tokyo premium, they're still pretty decent offers that are almost enough to tempt me back onto the VirTrain (if only they had IPv6...)
-
(Quote) Maybe if 50% of Tokyo orders weren't fraud/abuse, the premium would be lower?

Can we have a "quit using ChatGPT to pad your post count" button? ;-)

HostVDS looks to come close, although I have no experience with them. Ahh my bad, missed the 1Gbps requirement. For a dollar a month, it's gonna be a hard search!
-
Do you really only give out single IPv6, rather than a /64? Or am I misreading that?
-
(Quote) Now I just have to work out why the hell I needed it... ;-)
-
(Quote) I think it probably depends on a lot of risk factors; I've never had any company demand ID outside of my credit card, but then I'm also based in the UK and not signing up through a VPN so I probably get fewer initial flags.

(Quote) Well of course it is, I just finished pulling my backups onto a new server :lol:
-
(Quote) I'm not sure picking names off a Forbes list is going to get you an amazing provider. IONOS? GoDaddy?!
-
Happily I have backups; I just need to know if it's worth spending the time restoring them elsewhere or if the network will reappear before I've finished ;)

(Quote) I hate to badger you in your timewarp, but another weekend has snuck past and Chicago is still AWOL. Just a steer would be useful about now; if you're at the "we just need to move to a new DC" stage let us know and I can start rebu…
-
(Quote) Ditto; I mean I could shift it to a more production-y server but if CHI is likely to come back in the next day or two I have better things to be doing (mostly involving beer)
-
(Quote) So are you in any DC which isn't staffed by incompetent hamsters, so I know where to transfer my servers? :wink:
-
(Quote) Then... use a clean third party SMTP provider? It's not like it's hard to find (clue: it rhymes with NXRoute)
