    how much is that worth nowadays?

    It is not the drive, money is the problem. Shady move.

    My storage vps is in that range.

    What.

    Edit: according to RIPE its still owned by the parfumuri? https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?searchtext=193.148.68.0

    I guess if what said is true, and its on most block lists, likely way lower.

    Say what now.

    They're in stock or something? What happens if you buy it, and he cant deliver?

    Or, better question, what if he actually delivers on new orders?

    Bgp tables shows the IP announcement was removed. Someone found this IP up for auction over at IPv4.global

    @cociu and IPv6? =)

  • I think my storage vps is gone forever ip was in that /22, on a plus side don't have to chargeback or try to get a refund since it was a free vm from https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/52/free-for-life-kvm-storage-1tb-hdd-for-the-customer-number-100-200-300-400-500-600-700-800-900-999/p1.

  • @bjo said: @cociu and IPv6? =)

    Heh I forgot, I guess he never had ipv6. NAT would be ok except it would surely get ddos'd. Well as always, I hope Cociu gets out of this predicament in one piece.

    @willie said: never had ipv6

    He said for a fee but then again, he has zero v6 ranges:

    Or I guess this /128 (:lol:) v6-for-a-fee offer means like a month-long wait time?

    @cociu bank account has been involucrated too I guess?

    I mean if he's really facing such dire situation albeit due to his lack of foresight and technical skills, he should stick to either selling parfum, or kill off the storage line entirely with refounds and/or enticing offers to jump on Ryzen.

    save the rest of the ship and focus on quality. if the 400x12TB drives are still working, sell them maybe.

    make an apology statement. otherwise it's gonna be

    maybe one day after all this is over, he can then think about network block storage. that's how most successful small and large providers do it as observed.

    IH will benefit more from vitriol in OGF than praises from the irrational cookie stuffer.
    In a PM discussion I had mentioned to a provider that they should discourage the fanboy stuff from aussie Every provider he praised/ promoted went soutn. HD, and 2 others.

    A lot of people had their offline VM hosted in this block. So yeah, it was theoretically active. This is not selling excess assets, it’s selling assets because he needs the money.

    @vyas said:

    It’s a talent, this is going to happen a fourth or fifth time when you see which providers he’s fanboying.

  • How much more IP space does he have left?

  • @willie said:

    He has 3584 on his AS of which 1792 are his own. So I know some people will say "that's enough to give his customers a new IPv4". And while this might be true it's unethical to just unannounce a /22 with paying customers' vps'es still provisioned in this subnet and put it up for auction.

    If this was done to sell of excess assets cociu should just have given his customers a new IP before doing so.

  • FalzoFalzo Senpai

    he is dumping his business, at least a bigger and most likely not profitable part of it. easy as that. maybe he just had enough or he is forced to... who knows. maybe he already sold shit back when the sudden hardware moves and that fancy tunneling shit came up.

    this is ridiculous. if it weren't for IT sector but regular trade or craft business, people simply go bankrupt and the wife has to reopen business. or if it is another fail already then some liquidator will auction the assets... oh, wait.

    in the end all speculation doesn't matter. at this point anyone who still had the option should have tried to get their money back. on any service, no matter up or down or whatever. there will be enough stress with paypal anyway, so that this will break his other business too if it isn't finished already.

    edited June 2021

    A few months back my storage kvm changed from a different address to the range that was just sold. Now I wonder whether that was also some kind of asset sale. I don't think I have any chance of getting money back but I figured I was taking a chance when I bought in the first place, and I think I'm not in for that much rn. This is overall less annoying than some other deadpool stories I've seen or been in (remember zxhost).

  • FalzoFalzo Senpai

    @willie said: remember zxhost

    I remember quite well and to be honest it seems very similar. only back then I had services and tried to encourage Ashley for more and better communication and even help with posting mails he sent.

    opposite to now there was some communication at least, however the whole business only went downhill from certain point and especially after paypal chargebacks broke his neck financially. he also spent way too much time trying to fix shit instead of more quickly letting go and recreate...

    said that I also consider myself part of the problem on the way down, because obviously at some point I disputed were possible and soon enough. whit that I did not make any real losses after all other than having to rebuild part of my backup infra somewhere else at a bit more expense.

    I would say hostsolutions show right now would be much more annoying, if I'd be a customer and not just a bystander, because most payments seem out of the reclaimable window for a lot of people. and trying to keep the faith in something coming back... nah. but... maybe that's just me ;-)

    noticed my NVMe VPS "down" a few hours back. was gonna chargeback later , but seems like just network changes. back online and no VM downtime. damn.

    but wait something feels different with the network. let me test it

    ok nothing wrong yet, speed is 5gbps, latency to be observed

    TY for the summary. HS goes down every few months, what was surprising was the 50 page thread on that. Anyways, I don't have services with HS. The only EU services I have are with Ant and Mikho.

  • At least with ZXHost, Ashley had some initial communication about his recovery efforts. He just didn't have sufficient spare capacity to rebalance lost OSDs. Since that time, ceph best practices and reference implementations have increased recommended overcapacity considerably. I think he might have been able to save the business if he'd just given up on the data, recreated the cluster afresh, and given everyone partial refunds.

    With HS, the expectations were already low; you get what you pay for.

    These have 12 x 3.5" slots and 2 x 2.5" slots.

    I would assume he uses the 3.5" ones for HDDs and 2.5" ones as OS disks.

    These are 2U.

    Let's say he uses 46U racks (rare but let's assume)

    And let's say he only puts servers in these and don't use 1U for TOR switch.

    Then he can load 23 x 2U servers in a rack.

    23 * 12 = 276 3.5" HDDs.

    So for 400 HDDs, he needs another rack.

    So he had 1.4 racks worth of servers (33.3 total) failed with a power outage.

    Again, 33.3 servers had RAID failure with a power outage at the same time.

    He should be suing the power company and RAID card manufacturer along with the HDD manufacturer for damages.
