Wishing everyone a prosperous old new year.

If any of you with a VPS in San Jose would be so kind as to PM me your thoughts about the performance of your VPS in this location I would appreciate it.

ben47955

Sorry, can't help here. Only buffalo there.

uptime

@FrankZ - I've got a few. Solid uptime, fair-to-middling performance. Perfectly adequate for many tasks (jumphost, remote desktop to nearby location, medium-duty webserver) but I would look elsewhere for stuff like transcoding or streaming media.

I've been idling this one since I got it in December (easter egg ftw!) so can't yet say whether network performance is consistent

geekbench for a 4 GB "KVM Lite" in San Jose https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15134798

CPU steal time usually around 1% but spiked as high as 25% occasionally during the multicore part of the bench

Disk is fine

Network was meh when I tested it just now (about 6:30 AM in San Jose)

Bananas are delicious, and apples too.

I hadn't eaten an apple quite a while.

I should stop drinking beer at the office

The Green Fairy is better anyways to get your creativity going.

Thanks @uptime that was what I needed to know.

EDIT: Also wanted to mention, that the 1931 #210 trolley was a nice touch.
