(Quote) Nice 24-port panel AI. It is missing some common colors (e.g., red, purple). Many just standardize on one or two colors. In a large environment I wouldn't trust the color of the cable to tell me what is what. It is also not very co…

Is there a way to mark the blog posts as read or could there be?
-
(Quote) Appears to be unreachable over the advertised IP6 (AAAA) address 2a0f:5f46:1015::30.
-
(Quote) Yes. The only occasionally, mildly interesting bits imo are when the provider occasionally arrives to post updates. Would usually rather see that in the announcements or status pages at the provider, even if more formal and terse. The lat…

(Quote) Yes, they returned not too long after I posted that. (Quote) Not that I know of. I think they would probably convey their day-to-day status via Discord/Telegram if they do.

"Virmach have had their tag removed [...]" https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/229346/#Comment_229346
-
This provider seems to have gone away. Main site is 404. There is a .com of the same name, but that doesn't appear to be the same operation. * Deployd https://deployd.net @Denis Mar 2023 Shared Reseller VPS
-
This hosting provider link is broken: * Amadex Ltd https://crm.amadex.com @Amadex Nov 2024 Shared https://amadex.com seems to work, perhaps it should be that now?
-
This service appears to be offline: * Syuh Ltd https://syuh.com/ @ialexpw Feb 2023 sftp, rsync rclone Storage
-
(Quote) Right, minor update on the provider list to remove VPS as one of the offered services. An update, not a removal.
-
Another provider update: * anynode - BuyVM acquired their VPS assets back in 2021, other stuff was supposed to continue but site appears pretty stale
-
Elsewhere someone proposed Virmach be stripped of its provider tag. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable request, but I think the approach is not particularly defensible in this case. I've been meaning to ask, should there be a process f…

(Quote) Oh right, might have to leave that thanks, but pretty VPS and BGP service stuff is definitely gone. Maybe it's not taking new business? I assume the admins have a contact address that can be used for a liveliness test every so often. …
-
At quick glance, these might be candidates for being purged? * cloudie (out-of-business, listed in multiple sections) Is a formal process for removing a host besides the obvious out-of-business evidence? charityhost might be a provider to end re…

(Quote) You misunderstand, but that might be my fault. I do not need to install routes into the kernel. So while not ideal 1GB RAM can work, but 2GB of RAM is better and preferred in this case.
-
(Quote) Thanks, aware of them.
-
(Quote) No, that is a commercial product and a good one. My work is non-profit and research-oriented. Essentially that means I'm OK to trade-off revenue for not having to support users. :-)
-
(Quote) I don't know much about them personally, but my sense is if you liked VirMach when they were operating out of ColoCrossing you'll probably like them. Cheap stuff, better support, and even IPv6.
-
Even ColoCrossing is rolling out IPv6 now. ColoCrossing. Sorry you don't like IPv6. Nothing new to see here.
-
(Quote) I got rid of all virmach systems but one free one that been up over 700 days. 700 days ago was around the end of all the major migrations that were going on. I think it is is in or around EWR now, but I stopped trying to keep track after a…

(Quote) syslog-ng is not installed by default, your's must have some other issue.
-
Here it is, from upstream: https://github.com/gcsideal/syslog-ng-debian/commit/f7ee172d62009cc6b5e6a62d51482c3274249e8e

(Quote) Pretty much every provider that is providing Debian13 so far. I didn't look very hard but I didn't see this in Debian's repo so I'm not sure where it is coming from, maybe by whoever is making the template providers are …
-
(Quote) That's it, thanks.
-
Reportedly there was a fire-related incident in the Singapore location that impacted both VMs hosted there and some of their own services located there. Customers are receiving an additional month of service.
-
(Quote) It might matter quite a bit. It might have once seemed cute, but do you really want to register under a TLD now operated by the Taliban? Or more recently, the future of .io is an open question now that the British government has ceded the …
-
In addition to what has been mentioned... If you don't care about the perception of the TLD, com and net are both operated by Verisign so there is no practical, technical difference. org is more-or-less run by an equally reliable and capable …
-
(Quote) That's it. The prefix is actually originated, at least as of now, by Flexential, in the routing table. WHOIS often tells something different at the time of prefix allocation.
-
(Quote) I think I saw that too for what was once originally some Atlanta VMs that probably went through numerous readdressing or moves, but were cancelled sometime last year. Presumably some old backups were restored. Are the new v4 addresses now …
-
(Quote) This image is true, but even if we forgive it for being entirely content-focused, it excludes at least one of service that is more popular than most of them, TikTok. China's top content-based services, generally, are even less likely t…
-
I've used crowncloud for awhile. I've not used support much, but when dedipath went bye-bye, a host rare problem arose, or an old plan was queued up for cancellation they have been very customer-focused and responsive. Their overall syste…
-
(Quote) An important component is the hardware clock. With a VM you may be at the mercy of the provider's ability to not only get this right, but to ensure the host OS doesn't steal clock cycles, even unintentionally. Slight imperfection…
-
(Quote) As far as I know, correct. LET is so awful lately I have started to avoid supporting it with any content lest anyone think I'm a fan of what is going on over there. Was hoping posting it here it reached enough people that cared about …

(Quote) There was this: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/115615/us-eu-ddos-protection-4gb-ssd-vps-13-q-1gb-ssd-19-99-y-storage-plans-and-more/

(Quote) I may be in the minority but I never reply-in-thread and almost always will just ignore those offers. I also can't help but think a little less of providers who do this. The better providers in my experience practically never do this…
-
(Quote) Refugee? Seriously. Good luck getting that deal again. It was fun while it lasted, but you have to cut your loses. You can't get offers like that and expect pity from other providers when it doesn't work out. Chalk it up as a …
-
(Quote) Heh , no thanks, my last virmach node was finally cancelled today. I was just curious if that was from before times.
-
(Quote) I had a $15/year, 1.5GB RAM VM, with 3 addresses. Once the mass migrations started the extra addresses never worked or came back. Did your secondary address migrate and work after the summer of 2022?
-
(Quote) The NYCB027 outage this year was longer.
-
(Quote) Good for them for gracefully removing a service. I hope a few other providers eventually follow suit and move away from OpenVZ and migrate customers to KVM (cough RamNode cough EthernetServers cough).
