(Quote) It'll be done via ticket as it's not going to be a fixed discount across the board, depending on which product you already had/etc. There are a few options you can decide from ranging from 'no price change' to 'slight price change' along wit…

(Quote) Thank you :) I opened a topic over here as well with the statement just in case, didn't see this one until after. (Quote) The burden just became increasingly too much of the same abuse patterns, over and over. I don't want to go into too m…

(Quote) I.. uhh.. R... @berrybyte will do that deal I bet.

(Quote) I know it was awhile ago, but pretty accurate. We've had them (and testing/exploring) but I won't push them yet as none of the BIOSes for the enterprise/ipmi boards we use have production versions out. The beta one from ARR seems okay, but I…

(Quote) M.2 can be okay if it's an actual enterprise M.2--but generally, as a host that needs serviceability: U.2. Hotswap, customers never get interrupted, everyone is happy. Lessons learned from way early on. Some chassis it is unavoidable, but ab…

(Quote) There actually was a really long hardware-crafting call specifically to target ~250G/500G/1TB storage solutions (separate from standard VPSes). Uncertain if we go pure SSD or hybrid with less drives, though.
-
(Quote) You're reading way too deeply into this. I don't keep a "list". I see how you act and that you bring nothing to the table and immediately put you into the "ignore" mental category when it was brought to my attention long …

@sh97 is a team member because of a huge amount of volunteer contributions both publicly and behind the scenes for over a year. His works with FreeVPS or all the way back to some of my first giveaways where things got a bit too out of control and he…

(Quote) Appreciate the info. Unfortunately we're only at 2x per chassis on those. The blower style earlier models that allowed us to get 4-6x per chassis just could not maintain clocks/boost at the higher power draws. Coupled with must haves (intern…

Are you asking for 8x 4090 in a single chassis, or just 8x 4090 GPUs however deliverable?

(Quote) As a pro-cagie I'm speaking as true as I can to your kind: stay Hell, I even read your blog and internally you were next on our bribecontent creator list . You do a sincerely fantastic job here. I know the burn, feeling some myself. Luckily…

(Quote) A mutual joke, backfiring? @Not_Oles can mention it all he wants, last thing I care about is some completely invented drama. (Quote) No. (Quote) Pissed off mjj didn't get his (manually processed) crypto refund within 3 hours on a Sunday an…

(Quote) Get 'im Excellent offers from a very knowledgeable operator, though. I'm glad there's an ocean between us.

(Quote) Thank you for the detailed review :) Very useful feedback and helpful to make sure the shortcomings we think we see line up with client experiences. Too many times it's very easy to get caught trying to iterate on something that just isn't r…

(Quote) There's a lot of stuff involved here, because location/scale/owned vs leased (hardware, IP space, etc) and other business synergies matter. That being said, it's a pretty safe bet to assume a provider is paying around $50 per 1U of rackspace…
-
(Quote) For the use cases that we have: absolutely yes. Mainly, in an extreme situation, we can migrate that physical disk array to another chassis and mdadm (or similar sw raid) will just pick it up without a beat. Say you have a proprietary super…
-
Going off memory (only had ~5 Dell systems where we used similar controller) I think @DataRecovery is right. I recall it being automatic, but I hated their proprietary wording and not having enough insight so eventually they all got replaced with pa…

(Quote) Low End VPS, High End Portfolio. =) (Quote) Yeah inference is a beast, and they were making good gains in 1:1 CUDA stuff (even if a little behind, the cost was in-line). Next steps are either getting it all the way or pushing a CUDA altern…
-
(Quote) We (as in, everyone interested in using this) need this to happen. Opening up AMD's newer lineups and/or their Mi series stuff to actually being productive (without an extremely tight niche/customized software stack) would be huge. It keeps …
-
(Quote) Great example. I know I'll be viewed as biased (pro-AI only) due to slinging my wares, and there are some aspects of it that I do like. Of course, I was slinging it before "AI" and thought there are many use-cases for the raw infra…

(Quote) We've got them, a ton inbound/racking daily at the moment specific to 3090's. Open a ticket/DM/e-mail/Discord and I'll get you taken care of--out of stock because the plan is improving (based on customer feedback) for the same price: More co…

(Quote) This might be sort of what Groq (not Grok) does. I'm not sure about the 'sending data' part, though. Otherwise I expect we're going to see providers start to acquire good deals on bulk GPU rentals and begin to offer "shared" servi…

(Quote) I saw that video, and had seen those units before. Given my experience with Quanta stuff gradually getting worse with each newer generation of CPU/chipset I definitely opted to stay far away. Feels like they peaked around E5 v4 siiiiip. Any…
-
(Quote) While I love multi-node (and I voted "mix" with that in mind because I also have strong use-cases without it) these are valid. Take the beloved Quanta T41's: their onboard sata data cables use standard SFF connectors but a custom p…

(Quote) We're all holding our breath about that now :/ P.S. Quanta Queens > Dell Diddlers

(Quote) Amen. Panel really looks great @PCx3, would definitely consider it for some free stuff but I just can't do Ubuntu for a real production server.
-
(Quote) I haven't gone far enough down the path, but on the surface I believe they were just charging 5% + 50c per tx (list price). My guess is they have negotiated better deals directly due to volume, but more importantly I was interested in having…

(Quote) Something else to look into that I briefly started investigating (and some other hosts have said they're looking at) is someone like Paddle. It'll give you access to all the gateways but centralized in one spot and definitely seems easier f…
