(Quote) Just wait until I give it root access.

Welcome! Hats off to a fellow email nerd ♥️

I really just keep using these things to do this same thing repeatedly: Me: Write a story about a person who is mad at BuyVM The AI: Once upon a time, there was a person named John who was a loyal customer of BuyVM. John had been using BuyVM's se…

That’s because no one but IPv6 hobbyists lack IPv4 connectivity. It’s an entertaining exercise to go v6 only but that’s really all it is.

How am I going to order custom checks and a dedicated server at the same time now?

(Quote) I think, because of that issue on Lucy, when I send out emails notifying users of a termination date and giving them suggestions to migrate, I might want to reset their DA passwords and send them unique ones along with instructions to change…
-
(Quote) On Lucy there was an incident where I made a mistake and had to reconstruct /etc/passwd by hand. I couldn't recover /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow without a multi-week restore process (thanks jetbackup for your incredible performance at scale), …
-
(Quote) Is it the DA login that says disabled? If so, that goes back to an older issue. The account needs a password reset. This is ideally done through the provider's billing portal because the password reset on the DA login form is unlikely to get…

Just a quick note on where I’ve settled for resold MXroute services from NexusBytes: Everyone will get an email letting them know that their services will not be altered or harmed until a date at least 1 year in the future, and given a recommendati…
-
I definitely respect that position and agree to disagree on some points. But to be clear, there will be the matter of consent. Each user will be contacted and offered an opportunity to provide consent, those not providing it will be given a terminat…

(Quote) I believe he might be using the word “illegal” as shorthand for what could possibly be sued as a tort. I suppose “illegal” isn’t a completely unfair word to describe a tort, but it would require agreement by a judge to truly be deserving of …

(Quote) You’re the rarity. Most people just have CSF/LFD tuned to default so it sends 1000 root login failures a day to Gmail from root@localhost. Obviously with no intent to read them, just a bunch of default configs treating the SMTP queue as a tr…
-
(Quote) I rarely recommend having a status page that actually monitors and reports outages. Then you have to make sure you cover all of the bases to make sure it doesn’t report false positives, which can be more tricky under some scenarios than othe…
-
I don't even think that status page is automated or connected to any checks.
-
(Quote) People routinely ask if my resellers are safe to do business with. This event will cause a reduction in overall trust of MXroute resellers, possibly leading to reduced growth for my most profitable service. It doesn’t hurt that being the goo…
-
I guess what I really wanted to end that with was that regardless of any feelings or thoughts about this situation, I wouldn’t use it to project my next decision on something else. My next decision on something that seems similar, externally, could …
-
If you feel that I am violating your legal rights, I would advise you to have your lawyer reach out. I do not intend to discuss every future theoretical scenario, I have reviewed this situation for what it is and made a judgement call for this situa…

(Quote) When I messaged him about this he was logged into Facebook messenger. I haven’t seen him logged in since, so either he turned off the ability to see that or he hasn’t been on anymore. His last post was Aug 11. His last reply to me was Nov 8.…
-
(Quote) Once the account is past due the agreement is null and void. I’m only using data I already oversee. The contact email is in user.conf, which the resellers billing system passed over API to my server. I’m not obtaining or using anything that…
-
(Quote) I have no written contract for any agreement at all. The only agreement is a digital month to month service contract, most of the details for which are assumed by a handshake agreement and any relevant laws that will apply to that.
-
(Quote) I appreciate your position and I take it under advisement. I do disagree that it's damaging to image, I think the reseller and friend in this case would want me to do right by his customers. Customers who have been under my care the entire t…
-
(Quote) If they're obvious career spammers that shouldn't have made it in at all, I just terminate them and notify the reseller not to let them back in. If they're good people making a bad judgement call I suspend the user and open a ticket with the…
-
(Quote) Just email plans.
-
Probably so, but I think the risk is low enough to justify the convenience gain for everyone involved. There’s a very strong argument to be had which limits any claims to “damages” to a certain time frame, which when combined with the prices charged…
-
Legal opinion seems to agree with two points: * The provider could likely take legal action against me, and while it’s not a guarantee that they could win anything from it, there’s enough there to discuss their options if they wanted to. * I shou…
-
I've asked for a legal opinion with this specific wording: "My reseller is silently abandoning their business but they are currently in good standing with me. They are simply MIA, not responding to anyone, letting vital parts of their company …
-
It’s worth noting that a slight variation on this kind of setup consumes a significant amount of my time trying to protect the infrastructure from being overwhelmed by pure junk that drags down IP reputation by increasing the association between our…

(Quote) Jay replied to me on Facebook messenger last on Nov 8. So from my perspective at least, he hasn’t been MIA. I can appreciate that his customers have a different perspective but as long as I can say he responds to me when I reach out, I can s…
-
(Quote) Give me a bit to see if this is something I can negotiate a smooth plan for. I can confirm that it's all in good standing and there's no current risk of MXroute suspending/terminating NB customers.
-
(Quote) That last part is kind of how I feel about it as well. I wouldn’t do anything to step on Jay’s toes. As far as I know from writing this right now we’re in good standing on billing and stuff, but I’ll take a glance a bit later to be sure. I …
-
(Quote) That’s on the lucy.mxrouting.net server right? So there’s this thing. If the account has no entry in /etc/shadow, DA gives a “disabled” error on login. If Jay has the ability to reset a DA password in his billing system that a user can press…

(Quote) I love the Hetzner storage boxes. It was only recently that I learned you can put SSH keys on them: https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/storage-box/backup-space-ssh-keys/ Great performance, excellent storage to price ratio, no having to fuck aro…
-
Same but I found out why pretty quickly. Their login pages started defaulting to different pages than I had been going to before. So like I'm expecting the Canada login but I'm at a US login page, for example. When you go to the page, make sure you …

(Quote) I feel like not consolidating the data into one place is one of those things you really regret later, and when the hole is too deep to climb out of, it usually costs more to resolve than it's worth.
