Cool
Good Luck all! Hope you all able to get your deals too! Thanks again @ihell and @NDTN!
Everytime I visited the link, all I can see for JP, HK is 0
Check hourly, you might see some cause I think @NDTV adding for Cyber Monday! Hope you get 1!
Is it possible the 2222 with own iso (eg Rocky Linux)?
They have Rocky 8 ISO available in Solus VM.
IMO the easiest approach is to boot into netboot.xyz using iPXE or grub-imageboot (see the netboot.xyz site for documentation) then install any distro it supports.
I dont think GreenCloudVPS @NDTN provides any Netboot.xyz iso, correct?
I will not get it exactly because it is called 666....
Wow, 12 2222 SJC offers still available. 2TB storage preorder in SJC also available at the link above.
Yap, maybe the bots had enough!
Still dreaming for the 6666 HK
@NDTN Paid for a 2222 earlier, but awaiting legal name/address verification..
Connect to your VPS via VNC, and then reboot it. While booting, if it lets you press Escape, Delete, or F12 to select boot device and iPXE is an option, or there's an iPXE prompt during that lets you press Ctrl-B to enter a command, you can boot into netboot.xyz via iPXE: https://netboot.xyz/docs/booting/ipxe.
This is "network booting" or "netbooting", which is what netboot.xyz is named after.
Otherwise, if you have an existing Debian (or Ubuntu) installation, you can use
grub-imageboot
to add netboot.xyz to the GRUB menu: https://netboot.xyz/docs/booting/grub. Then just select it when booting(I wrote both of those doc pages )
Wow. This is amazing @Daniel15
I never knew this trick. Will definitely try this in the near future!
Seems the reboot happens too fast via vnc... I just tried it on a vps... sigh ...
Then VNC is available for 2222 packages? (That would have been my next question. )
Are you connected to VNC while the reboot is happening?
If reboot is too fast, try the GRUB approach instead. If the GRUB menu disappears too quickly, you can increase the timeout in the GRUB config
As far as I know, all their packages have VNC access. I've got a 9999 package from their birthday sale as well as a "Premium KVM", and both have VNC access.
Ahha, another neat trick. Will find out how to do that in Alma... Thank you @Daniel15
2222 SJC Yabs
2222 IL Yabs
Time to idle!
Haha, goodness...
The MO ping/tracert test IP returned a hit on BRBL. In general, will greencloud's IP space be flagged? Any differences between DCs (maybe IL/TX are better?)
Am looking to purchase a vps to run the webapp frontend (looking at the 6666 eypc offer) to add to the SJC storage server I already picked up, but prefer a clean IP.
In my usage scenario, I needed TCP instead of UDP, and compatibility with the rest of the devices out of the box.
What I managed to squeeze out of the server. The speed test was with the UDP protocol in both cases.
loc/server:Amsterdam (Netprotect) ~50mi OpenVPN Dw-205.70/Up-261.29Mbps
loc/server:Amsterdam (Netprotect) ~50mi WireGuard Dw-367.91/Up-259.60Mbps
Server Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz (CPU cores - 1)
Of course, purely based on speed, Shadowsocks->WireGuard->OpenVPN
By the way, with some VPN providers I have seen speeds close to ~600Mbps with an OpenVPN connection
6666 NL. I have reconfigured the network interfaces to get proper IPv6 internet access.
no more storage deals?
Can search above, @NDTN did gave a direct link to the sjc storage, I last seen, it is still there! Or maybe @NDTN can advise!
Just bought a 2222 SJC deal triennially. My BF/CM is complete now.
no restock 2222HK ?
Anyone got YABS for 2222HK please?
Haha, what other deals did you get?
