Best wishes for a speedy recovery. We hope to see you very soon even as you are convalescing - I'm sure you'll need a bit of geeky chit chat to keep that mind well occupied and away from other stressful health conditions.

@AnthonySmith + @vimalware : yes to the above points from me as well. Gives folks the freedom to mostly continue their existing habits with a periodic (quarterly?) cleanup. The in betweeners (like myself, who rarely if at all have anything worthy…

(Quote) If you have any options try to guide/force to look for an EXT4 FS (and related metadata). Depending on how much got written by the mkfs.fat, you still have the data blocks and possibly a fair number of the super blocks from which you can try…
-
(Quote) Is this a total limit (i.e. at a time no more than 5 per account)? Can we keep taking snapshots of a VM (deleting/overwriting the old) so that we're below this limit? I was thinking more along the lines of a primary VM whose snapshot is upda…

(Quote) Depending on how quickly you killed the mkfs.fat you may still be able to use some of the (hopefully) not-overwritten superblocks of the (original) ext4 FS and recover your files metadata. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery…

(Quote) I have one of their Singapore storage KVMs (200GB storage/1TB Gbit BW/Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz). Works as expected, support is quite fast/prompt and for a storage KVM it works well within my expectations and I can recommend them. He…

(Quote) Thank you for holding your ground. I'm really quite puzzled that they even have the right to do this - I am not aware of the contractual fine print but my assumption has always been that all traffic should be unfettered (at the server/hardwa…

The spirit is alive. Woo Hoo! Now to somehow rekindle that minimalistic (anti) greed to see how we can do more with les(s). Somewhere along the way, we've all become spoilt brats with more and more resources to do less (not to mention all the bloatw…

I seem to prefer xrdp over *vnc as it is easier to setup/manage and to connect to (since a vanilla RDP client will do). Performance wise I don't have any detailed comparisons, but from what I remember (initially when I was choosing one over the rest…

(Quote) It seems that in general, anything bad at the IPv6 level will pretty much effect the entire /64. So it's nice to have an extra /64 to avoid headaches and keep everything separate ala IPv4. (Quote) I guess this could be a use case but I didn…
-
Hi @AnthonySmith - could you allocate a /64 IPv6 with the additional IPv4 (effectively the VPS will have 2 x IPv4 and 2 x /64 IPv6)?
-
(Quote) Get well soon and I hope the forced downtime actually rejuvenates you and you bounce back to much better than before.
-
@cociu + @uptime - I can confirm that I have received details of my KVM VPS. I am yet to try out anything but hope to do so this week. I will be sure to post updates after I get things setup. Thank you again for this and here's to the new winners n…

(Quote) So no IPv6 for France NVMe? Or IPv6 only if you also add HDD?
-
(Quote) Right. I think though that there were plans to slowly support it in other locations as well. France seems to have IPv6 now - I think that's new.
-
@HostDoc - if a location's LG has IPv6 does it mean VPS's there can get IPv6? Is it a /64 by default? What about reverse DNS for IPv6?
-
@seriesn - a few questions for you: a) The poisson promo code is throwing an error (requires an active service) - a bit confused because you've clarified that it should work for new customers as well? b) Will LA have IPv6? Also, will you be suppor…

(Quote) If you can get cpu pass through, I'm pretty sure you'll see the AES benchmark jump to close to 2s assuming that there's no (artificial) throttling going on. Going by the frequency, my guess is that the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2450L 0…

(Quote) I feel quite comfortable with 3 days and you have my vote (not that it matters!) as I think it is a fair compromise for everyone concerned.
-
This has been a very hard one - there are many equally top notch providers on that list (and I have VPSs with many of them), so in keeping with the spirit of things here, Low End, I will cast my vote for MrVM for his wonderful NAT bundles (I doubt o…
-
(Quote) I hope that the slowness is temporary due to benches or other factors and that things will return to acceptably normal levels for HDD type IO (I hope at least >60MB/s with decent IOPS).
-
(Quote) The only reason I bring up the slightly longer wait is that it is not very clear when we'll hit that magic number and so folks can't really anticipate the draw. I know it can get tricky on balancing between the now-ready vs the lucky-yet-abs…
-
(Quote) As a previous (miraculously lucky) winner, I do feel this maybe a little too harsh on the winners. Sometimes a day or two may go by before folks catch up here and I think it is only fair that they be given a little more time to react (and ta…

@mikho - I have a couple of extra NAT VMs (128MB, paid for with ~80 days left) that I am more than happy to donate for a good cause to @tetech (or anyone else) to help with templates and other such use cases. Is it possible to either (a) transfer m…

(Quote) I suggest you keep an eye on Netcup (yes DE, but you mentioned you're open to DE too). If you can snag one of their VPS deals (billed annually at roughly €20/year which works out to <€2/month), you'll have everything you need plus a very …
-
(Quote) May the randomness (and luck) be with you (and whomsoever is up next for the lucky draw). I have to actually reread this thread a bit more carefully to figure out the goings on since I have been bestowed a great fortune cookie from @cociu. I…

(Quote) Wow! Is this for real? I've not been good enough to deserve such a rich treat and I'm worried Santa is playing tricks on me. Please give me a hard kick on my backside to confirm that this is not a dream or a simulation (or a dream within a …

(Quote) Looks like you're behind CF - so I can't really ping to get a sense of latencies. No worries though (and thanks for the offer!) (Quote) That will be nice. I'll wait to figure out which part of the world to colonize idle-ise next. Of course…
