but doesn't do justice on how dark it's really there.
It's dark enough for the samsung S23 Ultra to go into dark/night mode despite sun shining through the windows :O
Oh damn, lmao. I honestly thought it's looking quite nice and bright!
I had one crazy BF deal (2020 or 2021). I had 100 down / 1000 up network, even though advertised was 100/100
The replacement of bad hard drive takes forever. As said before their support can do lot better.
It was dirt cheap and that was only A+ factor, and flexibility to install Windows Server OS on it.
It's the brightness of photos not doing justice
But i'll make sure to get exposure set right at some point. Afterall, these are just construction photos.
Next week i think we will order the air intake tunnel parts finally!
@PulsedMedia
In addition to this seedbox and mini dedicated event, HA Virtual server would not be bad at all.
Do you have such a plan?
Nope we do not, setting up HA properly is not exactly cheap or trivial, not what our typical customers seek for.
Proper HA as hosting service barely exists, most of the cloud stuff you think is HA? Well it's not.
Super expensive storage is not necessarily required for acceptable HA. Or super Dell, Supermicro, HP etc..
You can do this with cheap servers with Proxmox and ZFS (which you don't like).
I tested this and the vm replacement takes about 2-3 minutes. An additional healthy disk is sufficient for each server. It looks pretty cheap.
If reliable providers say HA, it is. It doesn't matter what others say.
It doesn't necessarily have to be HA, it can be a VM with plenty of backupslots.
Uh oh, you most def cannot do this with ZFS, not even close. Not sure if you are trolling or just don't know what HA is?
Actual, real VM HA requires shared storage, and not just SAN + Storage node, but clustered, like Ceph or GlusterFS. Actual HA needs to be able to change over in manner of seconds.
Then preferrably multiple power feeds, multiple DCs etc etc.
and even then, you will have downtime. Infact, some people report to me that AWS, Azure etc. uptimes are not that great ...
But yeah you do end up with not actually needing HA. True HA is not cheap. You have to at minimum double required resources (except storage you can do erasure coding)
I didn't say "real" HA, I said "acceptable" HA. and I mentioned 2-3 minutes downtime. This is LET.
Get rid of your prejudices. I said you can do simple and cheap HA without SAN storage. I'm talking about continuous replication of a single 1 ZFS disk on each node for shared media.
Research it, learn it and test it. Then you continue calling everyone a troll.
These were already suggestions for potential customers, not typical customers.
Well, good luck in your work
That's not HA then.
Please get your terms right, and you did ask for HA originally.
This is DRBD+Heartbeat then, and would actually cost more than a proper Ceph cluster ... Most likely. You need to have at least 1 complete replica of the service you run, exactly doubling the hardware costs, and probably about quadrupling management cost.
Nuances nuances can swing this, but what you propose is less resilient, less robust than just doing a Ceph cluster / GlusterFS / other similar solution.
DRBD type solutions needs 1:1 exact replicas to exist, high speed interconnect between those 2 identical nodes etc. Very Very expensive.
Huge VM cluster with clustered storage could function with something like 20% hardware overhead, and managed as a whole instead of individual VMs/Host machines.
I would recommend this to you. You obviously do not know what High-Availability means in reality.
I personally did my first HA solution in the 90s if i remember right, in any case no later than 2004. How about you?
Did not call you a troll. You requested HA solution, i told you what it would require. That's not calling you a troll.
I see you've started researching some things
This is what you can do without SAN with the mini dedicated you have. This is "high availability" no matter how much you protest.
Cost is another matter, it's your business. I didn't want you to sell HA vps for 7 dollars a year anyway
Increase the ingredients, let's change the soup recipe
Good luck
Not many units in stock right now and hence prices have started to climb up; No specific ETA for new nodes right now. Still tho, brilliantly inexpensive.
2 Special MD Units Might Become Available Soon(ish!)
Maybe even today.
1 is off configuration, accidentally wrong size NVMe installed
1 is a JankMeister È'Special
Both will be for 3 years prepayment
MD SPECIAL CONFIGS
There's 2 kinda special configs which should've not been made.
i7-7700t / 32G / 250GB Nvme: 360€/3years (Had wrong NVMe installed!)
i7-7700t / 24G / 1TB Nvme: 470€/3years (See That Ram, also otherwise too Jank Special!)
Offer available for now, might be rescinded by next week.
Open a sales ticket to buy one of these, first come first served.
Won't have any automation, only Debian 11.
If either fails it's replaced either cheapest node available or no replacement at all. Then again, at this price, can't really complain either way!
@PulsedMedia when can we expect control panel? What's the hold up
Won't give an ETA.
More Units Back In Stock And Some New Models
New Models:
Do You support legal adult streaming site? Wich of your services recomend to streaming theese media?
Thank you!
We are merely service provider
What you host or do with the servers is your business.
I know I know, a lot of companies tries to take all kinds of "ethical and moral high grounds" and moderate what their customers do; That just goes counter to "what they are trying to do", good sense and what is most beneficial for most people.
We are a Freedom of Speech advocates, you host whatever you host, as long as you are not hurting others -- and yes, if it's legal for you to do you are free to do so.
Here are our legal documents if you are uncertain; https://pulsedmedia.com/terms.php
As for what type of nodes, it all depends on the details. Do you use hardware transcoding? Or just serve static pre-encoded files?
How about do you have need for extensive RAM caching? Are these going to be just reverse proxies or host your content too?
Hi, thanks You for your answers.
We whant to store tiny ts files and streme with nginx and jpg for images.
Thank you
Respect and much appreciated 🫡
Just incredible value here!
Dang, 32G/1TB NVMe for ~20€ a month? :O that's quite on another level.
20.59+VAT !!!
Price gets higher per month for the 20 euro plan the longer you pay for it? Why is this.
nice to see setup fee gone
great value
That sounds like a bug, got screenshot?
Ah! I know the issue already, forgot to add it them to one of the crons. Will be fixing within ~5mins
Bug Has Been Fixed!
Really sorry for that. If you purchased one of those bugging, just open a ticket to change your billing cycle to longer term.
Current availability and prices:
Unfortunately yes
We are European business.
Setup fees are only temporarily gone.
MD27: i5-7500t 4c/4t 2.7Ghz, 32GB DDR4, 1000GB NVMe, 1Gbps, Stock: 1. 20.98€ - Get It - Must....Not....Grab....Debt....Card....
