    I bought one more lately - strictly 'not to idle', dedicated to something. They told my disk usage is too high :F

    But they were cool about that - first gently shut down machine and ticket that I am using too much and then we talked for some time "It is better now?", etc. No "YOU SUSPENED GTFO" or "ALL DATA GONE, GET LOST" or "PAY 100$ EXTRA MATE, YOU OVER ToS LIMITS".

    Wow... I forgot about this thread for a few weeks till just now. My sincerest apologies to all.

    I will sacrifice a buffalo bull in the name of the almighty VirMach to atone for such impiety.

  • Is money ready for everyone ?

  • Keep spirit high

    Thanked by 1uptime
  • I wish my wallet was ready. It will never be ready for VirMach stuff.
    However total lack of activity here for @VirMach could mean only 'basic' offers this year? :(

    mmmm I wouldn't read too much into @VirMach maybe having better things to do at the moment ...?

    I'm guessing they are busy breeding a super-buffaloe or something

    or just hunkered down in their fortress of solitude - scheming, plotting, and ... devising.

  • Any review on the Virmach storage plan ?

  • @ben47955 the deep discount ("no ticket half price special") one I got last year has excellent uptime, and adequate specs - nothing special. I have 1 TB disk with 1 GB ram. Cpu is E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz. I actually did put a ticket in to suggest that the AES flag be enabled, hoping to speed up writing to LUKS encrypted disk. Support obliged - disk is still not particularly fast, roughly around 100 MB/s write speed (for my LUKS partition), sometimes a little more, sometimes less - doesn't seem to be cached or anything. Fast enough to keep up with the network in any case. Network was fine last time I checked - I haven't been exercising it much, just keeping some files in more-or-less cold storage.

    tl;dr - about as expected, it's fine for storage, no surprises. Let me know if any questions?

    Lazy to countdown how many days left to Black Friday 2019? Use this on your terminal instead :)

    curl virmach.fat32.top


    Please don't break it, it is hosted on those Buffalo :)

    Thanks, no question. I was looking to replace my HS storage box as it always under DDOS.

    Please try and let me know how it goes, it is streamed so no bash scripts or executable :)

    curl virmach.fat32.top

    @FAT32 that is supercool stuff!

    might be good to figure out what "the" timezone should be for the display - if my calculations are correct (?) the time your program is using seems to be 4 hours ahead of UTC

    #/bin/bash
    bf_2019_utc_seconds=1574985600 # since beginning of unix epoch (Jan 1 1970)
    now_utc_seconds=$(date -u +"%s")
    seconds_until_bf_2019_utc=$((bf_2019_utc_seconds - now_utc_seconds))
    echo $seconds_until_bf_2019_utc "seconds until black friday UTC"

    Glad that you like it, I am currently using EST time regardless of where the user is accessing. Timestamp used:

    CM2018 - 1543204800
    BF2019 - 1575000000

    The progress is calculated based on the duration between CM2018 and BF2019.

    The correct time is Buffalo time.

    okay, Buffalo time makes sense. EST would be 4 hours after UTC (looks my calculation reversed that somehow)

    EDIT2: EST == Buffalo time, of course!

    Maybe I need an ASCII art for Buffalo

    Did anyone noticed the 3 blue bar at the left is VirMach's logo? :)

    I am curious to know what language/library you are using for the date math - specifically the number of months when some have 31 days rather than 30 ?

    EDIT2: OMG teh buffaloe lol!
