Crap, I could have used some of that. There's some more up now but the current one isn't what I want. Will keep watching. Should set up some way to monitor the bot and alert on istuff of interest.

I had one of @MikeA's 3900x vm's for a month and it was fantastic, did several compute heavy tasks on it and it outran my 3770x dedi on per-core basis. Scaleway.com lets you spin up a bare metal 7401P dedi for 0.80 euro/hour if that's of any intere…

Lol, it's wednesday and cyber monday flash sale is still going on. I've had a few of these (thanks WSS) and they have been solid, though cpu speed hasn't been the best. I'm down to just one now, running a lightweight service, so performance isn't …

Please keep the uploads around. Imgur deletes inactive ones which means that old forum images are broken all over the web, not good.

I didn't buy any servers! I'm mostly happy about that. The one really intriguing one was the EUServ 10TB storage which is hard to match any other way. I kept thinking I have enough storage, but the EUServ wouldn't just have added to it, it would …

Lol, the other shoe (cpanel was the first one) is about to drop. Time to switch ;).

What is the virtualization? Ah nm, I see openvz in the screen shot. Openvz 6?

I don't remember what I had to do to bring the box back up, but it involved going into idrac and messing with the network or other boot settings.
-
Even ignoring transcoding, I occasionally want to do something that uses a few hours of cpu. There are around 750 hours in a month so if my box is burning cpu for 7.5 hours and idle the rest of the time, I'm at 1% average cpu load, and that really …

That 5 minute limit is pretty constrictive and IME with the Virmach deals of the past few BF's, the cores are relatively slow. But they are still excellent deals. I haven't bought any this year but resisted temptation for a few, and missed a few t…

Are you saying someone who buys a VPS can get the data dregs from the last user, instead of getting zeroed out file space? That seems like a monstrous security hole. It should never be allowed to happen.
-
Oh neat, I was going to ask about an API. Any chance of opening the API up to regular members with a reasonable post history? That would made it fairly simple for the Black Friday Virmach offers to have their own thread that got updated by a bot w…

Rebooting the box under proxmox requires some kind of messy procedure with the idrac. Maybe it's not set up properly, but that such an issue could arise is itself an example of proxmox pain.
-
I have proxmox on a dedi and it's a big pain and I regret not installing bare metal. If I can temporarily migrate the files I will reinstall without proxmox.

I ordered an Instant Pot Nova Duo at a nice discount on black friday, picked it up at store today, and there's tons of recipes online. Will try something with it tomorrow.

There's a ton of fake lithium ion cells out there (i.e. labels saying samsung such-and-such with all the right numbers, with some crap cell inside) so I wouldn't go anywhere near amazon or ebay. There are a few vendors that are able and willing to …

(Quote) There's been several virmach san jose (look through history on virmach.app) and no there won't be a hetzner dedi special this BF. Alternative to Virmach San Jose there are some nice @freerangecloud BF offers in Fremont CA, which is fairly c…

Nice I guess! Those are high current cells, a bit more expensive than regular cells of the same capacity, or lower capacity than regular cells of the same price, but I guess that is what you want :).

http://www.nkon.nl/ is supposed to be good seller in general. I believe they ship to the UK (from NL). They stopped shipping to the US a while ago, causing some sadness here.
-
Dunno about EU/UK but homedepot.com is having some pretty good sales in the US and Canada. What are you looking for? If really big stuff I'll PM you a link.

(Quote) For a North American offer it is amazing: does anyone know the server location? Their site says Canada in several places, but doesn't say where the DC is. Anyone have a test IP?
