(Quote) This would've been really funny but I don't think it has a practical effect since ad spots are seemingly unlimited. The only way would be if you purchase an unfathomable amount to the point where the chances of getting a real ad ar…

(Quote) Ah I see, yeah I was expecting to click on the image

Personally, I think the ads should be smaller and have gaps to them, it feels a bit weird having them be flush with each other. Also, I don't see a place to update the image used for my ad so now I have 2 eagles on the sidebar (which is fine, b…

I went to mainland China recently and roaming SIM cards don't have GFW restrictions, so it didn't really feel like there was even a firewall except when I used hotel Internet. It's really not as locked down as I initially thought. Ma…

These days I equate "low end" to "good value" services. 4 vCPU 8GB RAM will cost $40-50/month at the bigger cloud providers, but you could probably find a provider here that would do it for $6-12/month. That's really just th…

The line has already been crossed a long time ago. A lot of modern cars these days have a lot of technology/software that the car manufacturer can control over the air. It doesn't really feel like that you "own" your car anymore. To b…

I would put a +1 for OVH, we use them for certain infrastructure and they are quite reliable. I have a VPS in their Vint Hill PoP and it was on about 5 years of uptime, before it got brutally murdered by reboots from the CVE. I literally only renew…

(Quote) They released an updated kernel to patch it: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/are-there-mitigations-available-for-cve-2026-53359-januscape.184874/ (Quote) All hypervisors (incl. guest virtual machines) will be safely shut down and then sta…

We scheduled reboots on all of our nodes, and so have a few other providers, to apply the patches. KernelCare might work, but we use Proxmox and KernelCare stopped providing patches for Proxmox so it's not possible for us to use it (plus, I do…

(Quote) I agree. I would probably only implement an ad-space purchasing system if it can be largely automated, but designing a system like that would take a lot of time. I just think it would result in more revenue for the forum and a better user ex…

I agree with the ad slots for hosting providers, it makes a lot more sense and integrates much better with the website than Google Adsense, and you'd probably get a much bigger payout. Adsense imo could detract people from the website because …

(Quote) To preface this, I know very little about the self-hosting LLM space other than reading a few Reddit posts about it. I think really one of the huge benefits of those Mini PCs is that they have a really small presence and often are super pow…

(Quote) I would sell the company if it actually went that high. I would have a couple of million dollars and could retire. =) /s I mean, yes, if it did somehow 50x in price, then HDDs are the only viable option. But I do not think it is a realistic…
-
The main problem is that an NVMe-cached HDD is still insanely slow compared to a pure SATA SSD or an NVMe SSD. It is only marginally better than having a standard HDD array but still incomparable to actual SSD storage. Even if NVMe pricing went 5x,…

(Quote) We just purchased hypervisors and were trying to get them filled quick. Having them as an LES exclusive promo would limit our ability to post them elsewhere, and LES is not as active as the places we wanted to advertise the promo. Due to t…
-
Nearly all of our plans cost >$7 USD. Yet, there are many people on LE* forums who purchase them because they offer great value for the resources. We could not post our $9 for 32GB RAM deal on LES a while ago because that would have violated pri…

(Quote) Hetzner gave us a KVM to a machine that was not ours one time, so we essentially had full access to some random machine. Another time, Latitude.sh misinterpreted a support ticket and accidentally reinstalled one of our servers when we were t…

(Quote) It depends on the ransomware, there were a bunch of Windows ransomware that did actually have legitimate decryption tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiGSr-HSPb0 In general, it's more beneficial for the attacker to decrypt files …

I could offer you the following plan that is "semi-dedicated" KVM Standard M AMD EPYC Milan (2 vCPU) 16GB DDR4 ECC Memory 128GB NVMe SSD Storage 32TB Bandwidth (10 Gbps) Located in Kansas City, MO $8/month If you are interested, just PM …

(Quote) Thank you! This worked perfectly!

(Quote) ;) Nah, it's just RAM. Problem is that it's impossible to reach anyone in their JB office to clear import taxes.

(Quote) With Stripe, PayPal, and other gateways, it's really not as big of a deal as it used to be because you're not storing any payment information on your own servers.
-
I assume it's mostly because the big panels (e.g., Virtualizor, VirtFusion, etc) haven't implemented that feature, so it'd be hard for a provider to offer it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I've only used VirtFusion very briefly …

(Quote) I'm not a client but from the pictures I looked up it looks fully custom. I guess they are also possibly one of the few exceptions.
