So what if I told you a year later, even though it was migrated to a new network, hardware and addressing, the VM on the old network was still running?
-
And they literally just came back the instant I posted that. Of course. Looks like they were dark for about 3 hours.

(Quote) Provider stability maybe. System stability however has to be a real concern for almost all customers now. Unfortunately things have changed quite a bit in the last year. In my quick check, I have experienced an average of 3 IPv4 address c…

(Quote) Can you name the provider? I'd guess they were blocking more, perhaps all of UDP too?
-
(Quote) You should be able to run an ntp daemon on your KVM to mitigate that no?
-
Another potential issue with any container-based virtualization, including LXC is that you are at the mercy of the host's clock. ntpd, chrony, OpenNTPD, etc. won't be able to help you, because the container shares a system hardware clock that it ca…
-
(Quote) I wouldn't say it is a limitation, but there may be some minor differences in the base OS that some apps may not be expecting. For example, you might only have /dev/tty, /dev/tty1, and /dev/tty2 devices in LXC and no more ttys than that. Sa…

NYCB048 may be having some problems now. Nothing on the server status page, but whatever happened started within the last two hours or so.
-
If you have a VM on TPAZ002 you might check to make sure it is started up. I had one that went mysteriously offline an hour or two ago, although it did came back as soon I started it up in the control panel. I didn't see any official reports about…
-
(Quote) That was me. In a nutshell, I suspect some of those who were reporting partial connectivity (e.g., through a VPN, but not from their home cable provider), were able to temporarily reach their systems, because their VPN provider accepted a /…

(Quote) All three are pretty similar in many ways and it will probably come down to minor preferences that are important to you. I like DO's provisioning and portal interface the best, but DO seems to have a slightly worse reputation for being too …
-
(Quote) And perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, the ticket I had open for an issue was silently closed, but a problem was addressed. Yay! Now all Virmach VMs I have are currently operational. If I can finish out the month with no more VM disruptio…

(Quote) I assume node != VM. (Quote) Indeed. Thanks for the reply.
-
(Quote) Lucky you. I don't think I've had all VMs working at once since about June of 2022. I'm very seriously considering making 2023 the last year as a Virmach customer.
-
(Quote) I have not found that page to reflect the reality of individual VMs being online whatsoever.
-
(Quote) Sure, but lots of providers, particularly many low-end providers, do not get their addresses directly from an RIR, but rather an upstream provider. When that upstream relationship changes, as it often does, the low end provider has to renum…
-
Thanks @yoursunny, @aqua, @alwyzon, and @Abdullah. We're still interested in /8 gaps so I'll take a look. So you are aware, we are increasingly more discerning when it comes to a service based on the /8 alone. The past year has exposed how fragile…
-
(Quote) I'm seeing yet another wave of IPv4 address changes. Perhaps related? I've never seen such instability in address assignments.
-
(Quote) It works, but you still need to do the contract renewal. And in my experience with a system from there, a power off+on every few weeks is required, because the system just seems to become unavailable regularly.
-
(Quote) Disappointing. I've stopped ordering anything new and am slowly reducing what remains. The BF/sales prices remain appealing, but I'm sorry to say I've found the unpredictability and inconsistency is just no longer tolerable for my uses. …
-
There are some free tier or time-limited free options (e.g., Oracle Cloud, year of credit with Google/Azure/AWS). There are already v6-only or NAT offers under $10 (US) / year. You may see some BF specials that include a public IPv4 addresses as t…
-
(Quote) This seems to have been fixed now.
-
Maybe it is just me, or maybe I missed some news, but it also may be, at the moment at least, it is impossible to "Cancel Service". I'm getting a "Oops! Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request." page in respons…

OneProvider has a Nagos location for $3/month with their OneCloud platform. 10GB SSD Storage,1 Core(s) 512MB Memory, 500GB @ 1Gbps.

I find there are very few active providers under ColoCrossing these days. A few options on where to find providers: * Look in the Offers category on this site or on other forums. * The LES registered providers list - starting to get out of date * …

(Quote) Thanks for thinking of me. I wasn't expecting any more responses to this thread. I've updated the list of /8's in the original post since there has been some changes since the thread start date.

(Quote) You might be interested to learn about DANE, but after much early hype it has essentially crashed and burned as the way past the multi-root X.509 certificate trust anchors we seem to be stuck with.
-
(Quote) Like what devices and servers? Android, Windows, iOS, Mac OS X, Linux, etc. they all have it, usually on by default and used if provided by the network. I think the majority of hosting providers, even like low-end ones here, have it at lea…
-
(Quote) No. IP is the network layer like it or not. All others have been relegated to the dustbin of history or the occasional, always thus far, limited research project.
-
(Quote) That was in response to another commenter's suggestion. I know that sometimes a problem arises that the interface name has changed with a kernel update, and that networking will not be operational until that is changed in the config. That …
-
(Quote) Yes, but the host is marked as offline and has been for awhile. I've tried powering off, re-installing, rescue, and probably other things without any luck. I've seen the eth0->ens3 change that often needs to be done, but this does not a…

Maybe this is mentioned somewhere in this enormous thread, but I didn't find it in the last few pages... the LAX node that went down in June, my system that was there is still down, although it shows a new address and purportedly on LAXA011. Is thi…

(Quote) If instead of always using root, it can help limit system-wide consequences. At least if you don't prefix the command with sudo by default. You can probably find many stories of people having avoid disaster, because they weren't using the …

(Quote) They shouldn't. Practically anyone can get up to a /32 with minimum fuss. And if you already have an ASN, it should be essentially be a done deal just for the asking.
