(Quote) and yet you said it !!! Anthony has worked really hard for the benefit of the community and deserves many thanks and support. He admits it is not perfect, he knows what people dislike and he is working to fix the problems. All of that for no…

(Quote) > I won't miss it as it is really for 'hot' news or idle chat. Will have to be careful about spamming, but should be a good introductory area for newbies. So +1 from me. Will also be fun to 'hear' the insults you …

(Quote) Perhaps I did not explain clearly - apologies. I mean add 'Free' here (Image) Then users can select Free in 'Registered Providers'. Certainly I would not expect you to treat a free provider any differently to a normal p…

Just a couple of minor issues Paste from clipboard failed so had to use a url. (Image) The full name is not viewable. Love the Registered providers - but for FOSSVPS we really need a 'Free' tag / option please. Finally thank you Ant - …

(Quote) And it is not the first time you have 'said what you think'. Is there something you have against FOSSVPS ? Looking at your comments on LES they appear to be nothing or insulting.
-
@mizzik Well thanks for that - I am someone trying to help others. I am not paid and genuine users get a free 2c 4G 64G vps. All I ask for is thanks and all you are doing is being negative. So look at yourself first before being so unhelpful. As fa…

(Quote) Without giving an example, your comment is useless. The rules are there because of abuse. If I could automatically detect who is going to be an abuser, everyone could have a free VPS (that develops Open Source). @Xmelkov Please read the rul…

Sorry - I don't understand 'Upvote this post to reveal its contents' - so we are voting for something we can't see ?

@Xmelkov Sorry you do not qualify for the reasons already mentioned by @FrankZ (thanks). Mike

@AnthonySmith - you are of course correct in needing money to grow. I remember being told that generally a techie is always trying to rebuild something e.g. improve / optimise a script etc. It is afterall how we really learn. I was also told someth…

(Quote) I am confused why 'scrap' - what is your actual long term goal - I thought it was to make LES grow?
-
@AnthonySmith It is too hot in the UK and I feel your frustration - damned if you do and damned if you don't (re ads). My advice just chill - no one (I believe) is pressurising you. You have put an enormous UNPAID amount of effort into this co…

(Quote) Thanks for thinking about us Anthony - so what will happen with the current 'thanks' will these magically be converted into karma points or will everyone start with 0. As far as pulsating icons - no thanks. As far as temperature b…

@spiritlhl From what I can tell the token is only available for admin level control - docs here.
-
@spiritlhl At the moment - I have not received a request but will be happy to process when you apply. Currently only 24.04 is available. I have been doing a lot of work recently integrating 'convoy panel' into FOSSVPS build system and whe…

I am sorry to hear your news Andy. All I would say is don't give up on the community. Of course you need to concentrate on your business side, but doing things for the community / Open Source can also prove beneficial. I run FOSSVPS with absolu…

@nullnothere Will get back to you unless someone else replies before me.
-
@rpqu I am hopefully introducing a new frontend which shows b/w usage plus max allowed. I don't want to encourage over usage or limit client functionality - I know - don't show it, but I would rather everything is clear and open. There is …
-
Excellent feedback - thanks everyone. So perhaps something like 40GB / month with a 20GB bimonthly auto boost if a client goes over. So I scale based on an average of 50GB per client per month.

(Quote) +1 and UK users can see them.

@VirMach Received two emails (for two vps) giving new IPs originally on AMSD018. One Ticket ID shows originally 2 v4 IPs and now only one is allocated (Ticket ID: 163985). Interesting that there are 3 v6 addresses? Just wanted to flag before you get…
-
Wow - lots of IPs !!! id=722166 AMSD018 > AMSD035 now has 12 ipv4 (sbe 4) . None appear to be working and are in the 'old' ip range i.e. 88.214.21.x id=722545 AMSD018 > AMSD027 moved with 4 new working IPs (should only be 2) plus old…

Looks like things are stuck "Migration queued" - 2 VMs both with multiple IPs on AMSD018. Duplicate emails received (very short notice) about IP change but only gave a single IP. VMs are still running on 'old' ips. Mike

29th of May 2026 NodeSeek VPS clients have had their VMs stopped as per the announcement and emails. If you are affected by this, I can restore your VPS if you are a respected member of this forum or alternatively a respected member can vouch for y…

Declaration - @alexhost are very generous FOSSVPS sponsors of our Moldova mol1 node and we honestly really <3 them. (Quote) We have had the account suspended twice in this period one accidental (my fault) and the second due to client abuse. Th…

(Quote) If a provider is using geoip blocking it may be an issue although I would expect Romania to be pretty neutral.

(Quote) Thanks - you nailed it :) Registrations page is also now 'closed' to certain countries.

@MannDude - thanks for the comments. Yes I am adding maxmind to the registration page. Did look at using ipset but because of proxy use, it proved difficult. There is no billing system - we are free :) Already have reCAPTCHA but I certainly take y…

@terrorgen - agreed (Quote) I am still thinking through the logistics / referral process but feel that it makes being a 'reputable' member of the forum a good reason to participate in the forum. So in a way we are benefitting user, forum…

@TigersWay - thanks, glad things are going well with de1 <3 N.A.S. is a possibility however going forward it is much more likely that stronger pre registration filters will be put in place with potentially country blocks. Another possibility …

Well the good news is the existing (none NS) clients will be getting a much less loaded server - to do compilation !!! Must admit (I know it is free etc etc) abuse really does piss me off. I can't change the world but I can control my own littl…

Not sure I dare say this.... When I order something on Amazon, there is normally a short summary of what the reviews say (also of course star ratings). How about doing something similar for a thread. Also when I look at LES or LET there is no '…

Brilliant - great to be back. Mike
