Good shit Fran
Congrats Fran! Nice features, definitely different.
Congrats! keep up the good work!
Hallelujah!
That was basically what Anthony said :P

how do you verify that someone else's ISO is what it claims to be? seems to me like it would be better to identify ISOs by a SHA256 hash or something. you could do accounting by splitting it into "owned" (counts towards storage quota) and "referenced" (doesn't count, but will become unavailable if all users delete that ISO), similar to the current system. there are certainly more "creative" solutions, such as splitting the cost evenly between all users referencing that ISO, but the system I outlined is no worse than the existing system for anybody.
To be honest, even with a hash value, I’d have to have an extreme amount of trust to use a shared ISO. So while adding hash values might be a nice refinement, I don’t really see it adding trust to that system or increasing its utilization.
To be honest I'd probably go down the route of automatically removing it when no longer mounted, no sharing.
We actually download the media, not do the HTTP stream stuff.
When an ISO is shared it simply duplicates the row in the database but marks the user ID.
When a delete happens it checks the database to see if it's the last copy of that media. if it is, it removes the file from the cluster.

Sure, it isn't a feature I see a ton of use happening on but it can help cut down on how much we're storing.
It's something that took me an extra hour to put together, not some big investment
Francisco
Yeah, that's what I was saying basically. It's just a nice convenience to some, and to you. It shouldn't be expected to provide a fully trusted way.
Why? My Windows XP SP3 ISO (share code: BRY4CWIFVRHVXRNK) and someone else's WinXP Virtio drivers cd (share code: ERSSLJPBA4VDSOZH) are legit and very trustworthy.

Hey, since you offer BGP Session, do you support AS-SET?
No.
You're going to have a hard time finding providers that allow AS-SET's while on a VPS.
Francisco
It's common in Europe, but rare in the United States
Can I add downstream prefixes?
Sure if the downstream prefixes are RPKI'd to your ASN.
I can manually approve prefixes as needed.
I'll think about adding AS-SET's but I'd need to do extra validation on a customer.
Francisco
We hope to support AS-SET soon. Thanks Reply!
Happy birthday!
Could backup be restored or attached to other VM? It would be useful to restore only part of the files.
Backups are full drive snapshots, we don't mount a users VM and pull files out of it. Stallion doesn't support restoring backups to another VM but we can do that via ticket.
Snapshots can be restored to another VM in the same location though!
I've been looking for a way to 'mount' a backup as a read-only additional drive but that's going to cause issues with UUID's and all that.
Francisco
still can't get a VM here... NY always sold out. ;(
I have a pallet of new Ryzen nodes arriving in Telehouse tomorrow!
Plenty of new stock as well as NYIIX coming online!
Francisco
Love this and attest to that of it working.. ArchLinux FTW..
Glad you like it I'm very proud of it. It was a tricky one.
Francisco
as a little suggestion^^
You can use tor shared hosting providers bzw onion adressen on request
BuyVM uses monthly billing with payment due on the 1st of every month. So if you join mid month, you only pay half month's due.
So all services are up for renew on the 1st of the month. So if you access the website on the 1st of the month, you will find some slots where people have cancelled it.
This is just an observational secret before @Francisco shuts it down
An excellent achievement, there is room to grow! my respect
May I know about LVE limit in buyshared?
CPU? 100%, Memory? 1GB, Entry Process? Inodes? I/O usage? IOPS? and subdomain limit,...
Pardon me because I can't find any reference on website for each plan,...
Awesome, Alpine Linux will be installed :-)
