lol where the fuck else other than lowendtalk can you get service on netapp filers for $10/2 years
He's not obliged to.
He is however obliged to send a mail out with status updates on the situation, but he chose to promote new offers instead.
Pathetic.
When this thread started, I was like cociu is cociu what's new. But he did sink to a new level of low sending out that ryzen promo offer while being so quite with existing customers.
So will this dumbass offer 6 months free services after this as well?
God, you really are stupid.
Actually this is my advantage. People host with me because they know i am indifferent to whatever the fuck they do as long as i can save my ass from legal issues. They also know i WILL cooperate with the government if i have to, but avoid issues by not requiring real customer data.
It's fine line between legal and illegal, and i know extremely well where i need to be - I do NOT aim to operate legal, if i can bribe my way out and know it i will (and do) absolutely use that power, i will also risk jail if the reward is higher than the cost. I will go years to jail for enough money, and my wife is also perfectly fine with that.
In simple: Sorry, you are not my target audience. You don't run shady things. I don't care what you think, and neither do my customers because they HAVE to use me or a handful of other ISPs because no one will host them, and i am by far the most reliable and trustable choice. I might not like them, but i keep the online and don't sell their data to their enemies.
Then lets see how honest you are:
I am not saying this is what happened and if he faked the date, shame on him, but it happened to me to post an announcement and forget to tick the box to make it visible. When you are dealing with a disaster you make mistakes.
It does raise a very serious red flag because he should have known by now it was not visible, regardless of the mistake, when people open tickets they do tell you they checked announcements, this is how I got to know about my mistake, btw.
Nope 'cos your sentence doesn't make any sense!
This is most likely the case. They can be remarkably cheap on the used market/through e-waste recyclers.
There are also third party companies (usually made up of ex-field support employees) who will sell you a 'support contract' as a retainer +per hour incident rate, or a pre-defined amount of hours per month. They'll get you out of simple bad situations, but extended recovery efforts (think manually CRC checking individual tracks/stripes) are normally out of their depth.
I also remember that 'supported' drives could in certain situations/models be faked with some file config file mods.
Last I remember, a 2 node FAS series HA pair could support ~1000 drives, and C-Mode provides clustering of HA pairs, to make a larger cluster.
[edit - just checked, latest model supports 1440 drives per HA pair. Not sure about the older model he likely has, but 200 drives is certainly not out of the ordinary. I was competing against NetApp back in 2012 when 200 drives was a small-ish system]
What even is NetApp, how does it work?
Well-respected filer manufacturer, going back to the 1990s. You bought one of their units, put it on your network, and you had NAS/NFS/CIFS/etc. that was very easy to manage. Almost ridiculously easy to manage.
Of course, as the saying went..."I loved my first NetApp. I hated my 50th." They were great up to a certain level but in big enterprises, having 50 different filers to manage was a pain.
They're more enterprisey though...not usual to see them in your generic hosting company.
I didn't directly compete against them in the late 90s but supported a competing platform (Auspex). The Auspex was fantastic...you could actually reboot the server and it continued serving files while you did so! This was because a lot of the NFS code was pushed down to special silicon in the I/O cards. But it was a lot more expensive than NetApp and so NetApp won.
I wonder what will it take for cociu shills to accept that he has been downright scummy and deceitful this whole fiasco. I have seen hosts quartered for less than that.
"It's fine, it never rains here."
thunder
That's some stupid logic. Yes, why isn't the one with all the problems "attacking" providers without problems? Clearly, this means he's a nice guy. Not sure what those attacks would be...
If you look, you'll find cociu getting into it with a competitor before and also he has said shit to customers where he misunderstood what they said.
Give this guy a "Karen" tag next to his name.
The dude acts like he's 16 and hasn't been in the real world, naive AF.
To be more specific, I was referring to Francisco jumping every chance he can at another provider's throat. I am surprised Clouvider hasn't thrown his 2 cents in yet..
Anyway Timbo, smoke some jesus and chillax guy. Don't take me too seriously..

The comments I quoted were all under two weeks old. I find it hard to believe that one could classify that as “digging” — it’s not like I went and searched through a year of comments.
I’m going to be honest here: you don’t give off the impression that you think you’re giving.
How do you go from making “cociu good” comments to suddenly agreeing that HS provides unreliable services? It may not be your intention to vouch for them, but you’ve hardly made it clear what your actual stance is up until now.
Couldn’t have put it in better words.
Yet again: lmao
That's actually a helpful response, I'm not always sure myself what my stance is and I do like to involucrate some shitposting at times, and that makes it harder.
It's probably best to think of me as someone with an almost absence of social awareness, I'm not particularly good at "reading the room" when it comes to social nuances (like taking things too far) and my outward impressions can be often different to what is true (I have a dry sense of humor and at times am unbelievably bored and willing to go to great lengths to shitpost).
I still didn't make my actual point.. which is that I'm not so much vouching for cociu as I am questioning whether he's actually "bankrupt or deadpooled" like the topic suggests, considering I have working services currently.
I also have a storage server that is down too, I just don't care that it's down because it's a cociu server.
EDIT: I understand that people aren't happy with the lack of communication, but he has actually communicated something - not a total radio silence like certain people are claiming. He should probably keep the community more updated, fucking hell @cociu, lern 2 LET.
So, I told you cociu is no angel contrary to your simple request that he didn't attack others and you doubled down on Fran "attacking" (aka pointing out the obvious).
You made your opinion known, that others should STFU because of your feelings. Got it.
"attacking" != aka "pointing out the obvious"
Keyser Söze Ventures Inc.
His point was that you're classifying Fran's behaviour of pointing out the obvious as an attack against cociu. Which it isn't, it's good to see you agree.
Why are you trying to cast honest comments about cociu as inappropriate and “attacks”? Cociu is great at communicating as we all know, so if he had a problem with the nature of this discussion I’m sure we would know, right?
Can you mute people on this forum? And if so, can I mute default and anyone who thanked him for his comments?
There is a script called BetterLET for TamperMonkey addon, which can be used to block certain threads or comments. I have not tried it myself though. Here is a link: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/170161/betterlet
Enjoy.
my vps is down since more than two weeks
just got email with new ryzen promo
at this point its obvious scam
faking backdated news on his page...

Well now I can’t because I just thanked you. Welp.
