you MUST NOT want that kind of customers... you always say you care about the family then think about how the new ugly bad neighbours might impact them. don't go that path.
I doubt seriesn is desperate enough to need advertise to them kind of clients.
he actually did already... (that's why I posted here)
PS: I doubt he is desperate... he just wants to help and with that might be a bit... naive? no offense meant @seriesn ;-)
This was definitely more for the meme value. As you can see by giving away free popcorn. Not to mention, storage doesn’t qualify for the switcher.
No offense taken and you actually echo my sentiments . We like keeping things clean.
Except when you want customers to wear shorts (or short skirts?) and visit dark alleys at 2 am… or similar

Unfortunately for cociu let was probably his biggest customer if let do not purchase more the financial health at mid and ong term could be problematic. I have not got any service with him but he is part of the history of LET and LES . so hopefully he would recover the services and everything is going to be improved at least at certain cociu level.
I believe in good luck. Harder that I work ,luckier i get.
@seriesn said: @mikho@Mason as the provider showed close to no remorse and went mia, during this catastrophic outage, do you think it is fair to ask, to protect our users and community members, if this person can be removed from "Verified" list of provider until they have redeemed themselves?
Its been on my mind for some time.
Haven’t done anything yet as he has not visited since LES started.
For the sake of it, I will remove his provider tag and strike his name from the provider list.
@Mason said: Not to mention there has been zero communication outside of his couple of short messages on LET. No emails.
Yes, but
@Mason said: No status updates in the control panel.
After reading your comment, I got curious and checked there and found this announcement dated May 12
I tried to read Cociu's "How to run a hosting business for dummies" e-book, but it kept going straight to Chapter 11.

@Lee said: it does seem suspicious that they had 'issues' with GTS and 'made the decision' to move to Telia now GTS is suing them for a 60k EUR debt. So it does appear that GTS was cutting them off due to unpaid debts.

Nah, BREIN is purely Dutch. They're only interested in what is uploaded through Dutch networks. They have no interest in Romania.
Fun fact: I started out as a tech journalist and interviewed Tim Kuik a few times. You wouldn't believe it, but it's actually a pretty funny guy that's nice to talk too.
Any chance of the above mentioned "smart guys" being them or their affiliates, as HS being a heaven for torrents.
Knowing what contracts with upstream providers look like, it's hard to believe that an upstream would eavesdrop on your traffic and hand it over to a non-state organisation.
Even if (and that's a big if) they did, non-payment is not the answer. The answer would be to go straight to court.
I am amazed by the number of people defending cociu (maybe not surprising??) and have decided to stop visiting LET for the rest of the week. Hopefully something new will come up by then. A new Racknerd location or Ryzen upgrade maybe.

I think that the cociu thread on OGF is running out of steam: unless something new happens, there's really nothing more to say, and the risk is that people start repeating themselves

I also had some of them customers asking.
They are indeed not the clientele you ... really want. (maybe if you need cash badly)
Some asking for the storage KVM VPS deal and wanted it even cheaper then at HostSolutions. (HostSolutions 1tb kvm vps deal at 35USD/yr)
Same guy complaining that he cant access his HostSolution vps right now and is unstable. Ehem.
Thinking about dropping a nice conspiracy. How about this one?
So, because cociu's black fiber from Bucharest to Oradea is too expensive now he's single homed behind Telia in Bucharest he was silently moving all servers to Bucharest. Hence the 0.1ms latency to Bucharest. The truck these storage nodes were in while moving had an accident an that broke al 400 drives.

It was actually 50 euro/3 years at some point, add to that the increased money you get when you top up, and its cheaper than that even.
this leaves the more interesting question of how long one think it is reasonable to try to 'recuperate' customers data. especially without much comms.
instead maybe doing some kind of triage much quicker/earlier, format the disks, rebuild storage array and redeploy. as there is no sla the clients are responsible for backing up their data anyway.
but maybe it's just me who would be more happy with a fast redeployment instead of my host trying to recover shit that will be months old if it ever happens. however - not affected, not even a client, so probably easy to say ^^

There is no need to help out "those in need" that are HS customers. They deserve whatever they got.
I don't actually have an issue with cociu's method. There are plenty of people who live that way in this world.
I don't pity those who fall for such deals, either. Fools will always be fools.

that's too much for storage anyway, regardless of the provider :-P
interesting pricing ends at $2/TB/m (servarica, hosthatch etc.) - just saying.
no shame in not going down that route though ;-)
