How do we keep a thread alive? CPR?
Type something.
Also, benchmarks.
For those who got the discounted storage VPS, how's your experience so far?
This topic was quiet today.
Probably too soon to say much other than it works - expecting it will be slow while people load their terabytes over the next week or two.
Once the dust settles a bit, I'll be interested to see transfer speed to other box on 10 Gbit port in Buffalo. I'm seeing something like 14 MB/s average (that is, it took about 9 minutes to scp a 7.5 Gb file from the storage vps just now). Transfer and disk write speeds do tend to vary significantly over time.
Disk write speeds are often less than 100 MB/s (note I'm writing to LVM with encryption - could be somewhat faster if just writing to /dev/vda1). Not sure how much of a bottleneck that might present if network gets up to speed.
Anyway, probably good enough for storage even as is - at this price major concern generally is will it continue to work a year from now. I'm optimistic that it should be, with better performance once use stabilizes.
EDIT:
None.
New topic will be posted soon

Usually christmas sale isn't as good as BF sale and we need to keep this topic alive.
I'm the first to post in this thread today!
As a reminder
My contribution for today.
hello. What network speed do you have in DE location? Post please

Every few days I remember to check this thread. Glad to see it's still kickin'. Keep doing the lord's work, my friends
Reporting for duty!
yes me bredren we idling at maximum capacity right now!
Not me. I've been using my SSD32G for good stuff. Still waiting for @Virmach to give me a special discount for the year
Guys, it is 1010 and 1011 respectively
1100
1101
Please, don't turn this in a countdown ... 1110
1111

Beep boop! I am a 4-bit coffee maker microcontroller. Please emulate me on your idle VPSes!
Coffe is done (scalding).

@VirMach
Decided to wait with this until the ticket tsunami subsides, should be over by now, I hope.
The performance issue I mentioned here persists.
I tried powering the VPS off/on, of course.
Another interesting thing I noticed since the post above:
A friend of mine purchased NameCheap shared hosting during their BF/CM sale. I asked him to run the same
dd md5sumtest and it turned out that somehow NameCheap's shared hosting is faster than my 2 x vCORE VPS.I'm unsure how exactly they allocate CPU resources, but things look like a one core of Xeon E5-2630 v3 is available.
On the VPS I purchased it should be two Xeon CPU E5-2620 v3 cores.
So maybe on some nodes only the contents of
/proc/cpuinfofile has changed, while the actually available resources didn't?The kernel is never wrong.
