Why people have to work
Working ensures that Epyc configured Ryzens can become the ultimate Threadripper.
If I don't work, my onlyfans fans will not get the videos they need to satisfy their desperate and perverse cravings.
Hello. I don't want to work until January 5th.
Whats the playbook for ""Invalid vserverid or username""? First time for me with VirMach. Log a ticket and pray or does anyone know some dark and arcane commands to please the iPXE/gPXE Gods and get my server booted?
Vacation granted!
Use SolusVM to manage your VPS, probably.
I'm getting that error when trying to login to SolusVM.
I'd like to sleep.
What are you guys doing for Christmas?
@VirMach,
Big shoutout and thank you on behalf of all FreeMach users for sponsoring the FreeMach project for the third year in a row. I've just posted a review/yearly report thread to the other two forums if you want to check them out (links below). Thanks for the three years of sponsored service! Hope you, your family, and all your staff have a great holiday and New Years!
Cheers!,
-Mason

6 days+ Let me make it a full week tomorrow, and quit, ok?
I think with this much data points, we can safely say the thread is averaging 40-60 views a day... (Should we ask @VirMach to chime in, post something, and see if that skews the data??)
How can this thread even survive for so long
Because we still waiting double disappointment.
You mean triple disappointment?
What disappointment? We are supposed to get Ryzens now right?
Nah Ryzens is just 1-2 months old, we are talking about something that's longggggg overdue.
But hey this is VirMach, 1 day and 1 decade is the same for them because earning money is most important than giving us cheapskates those double deals or Ryzens.
There is certainly a shortage of manpower in VirMach, need to re-think the strategy on their side.
I believe in Santa @VirMach!
I thought they were the same people.
It will happen soon
LOL.
Where is Virgilio?
VIRGILIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Not only surviving, but it even hired its own stats-keeper!? (well, more like an unpaid intern)
Since our almighty [thread] creator has not chosen to honor us with a comment, this is indeed my last post on view-count-tracking (you're very welcome for all the thanks on the previous posts!)... I'm keeping my local excel, so, might do updates every couple of months or something, I don't know, we'll see...)
So we've averaged ~41 views/day for the whole 7 day duration (assuming the weird write-back cached(?) view count tracking of Vanilla here is dependable)... (With ~8 posts/day for the last 5 days of that period)
Because I am boring? :thinking_face:
BECAUSE RYYYYYYYYYYZEN
oh wait...
Should I take my cat with me from today until 26th? Or should I leave him alone at home?
Take your cat with you, you are not a monster!
We're stockpiling parts at the moment.
We should have 10-15 of these ready to go for the alpha/beta test, very soon. We're waiting on the datacenter to send the contract(s) and then it'll just be waiting on some extra parts here and there. Right now we're mainly doing some more testing between the different RAID controllers and NVMe drives but it's looking like we'll have to just do some A/B testing with real-world services on there because it's hard to simulate that type of I/O usage.
As for the Windows packages, we're thinking something along the lines of...
And then it'll just scale up from there, so everything 2x for the larger package and so on.
We're looking to be even more lenient on our AUP for these, and obviously at least for the beta test will encourage heavy usage. Since we have 32x logical cores at 3.5GHz and 3950X benchmarks essentially 2x higher than almost even our highest CPU configuration at the moment which is 2x E5-2690v2, I think we should basically be able to let people use whatever they want at all times. Same with NVMe's... we should be able to permit a lot higher I/O usage but this will potentially be iffy in some situations especially once the SSDs actually fill up beyond the SLC cache.
We might do 10Gbit later but honestly, no one really every uses 10Gbit from our analysis, other than abusers (to send out attacks.) For the NVMe's we could have done Gen4 but I think we're shooting for higher-end Gen3.
Our test build is working smoothly. So far the CPU only hit 55C maximum and idling at below 35C. No crashes or unexpected behavior.
Pretty sure these are the benchmark results (but I got it off the Geekbench browser, it may be wrong. I'll double check the link later.)

Any questions or suggestions?
Maybe can add option for Dedicated CPU? Or maybe auto-throttle the CPU instead of suspend the VPS?
