    @crunchbits Want to try for Freebie 1.
    Can you give more details on the Backup slot? Will it automatically backup every day or manually?
    Your website stated that your service is 99.9% uptime. It means around 8 hour per year. What are your best and worst uptime in your current system?

    You can setup the backups however you want in the panel. It can be done manually or automatic. You just get 1 "slot" to backup your entire VPS so it will only keep 1 backup simultaneously. If you do automatic backups, the limit is you have to wait 60 minutes between backups.

    With the current system(s) and deployment, we haven't had any fully service-impacting downtime this year! ;)

    But really, none yet. All of these hypervisors are now in the same racks as our GPU/HPC machines which have a lot better overall environment. The worst we've had is our secondary upstream had ~10 hours of downtime due to power outages in December but this was not service impacting.

    But why Pushups though? Isn't it @yoursunny thing?

    What would you prefer to pay in? squats? burpees? I can probably set a market for those, too.

    @crunchbits 104 pushups for you in 40min.

    I formally invite our pushups mentor @yoursunny to the challenge :)

    EXCELLENT! There is a special surprise for being one of the first ones to complete it (in addition to redeeming your credits as promised). I'll update publicly once we have a few more. Fantastic that you went to failure. B)

    The market has retracted a bit since April. I have to think about it, but I'm leaning towards buying:

    • 1 full parallel squat @ $0.30
    • 1 full burpee @ $0.50

    Form needs to be perfect.

    You would get to exchange those 50 for $12.5 worth of credit.

    Thank you! Density is much lower on those systems and a lot faster RAM, so it won't ever be anything this aggressive.

    Another winner! Of course you'll get credit. Just make an account and open a support ticket so I can add them.

    Push-up will make you live longer, more time to enjoy idle vps.

    Unless you really need the iops/disk transfer of NVMe, I don't think it would be much of an upgrade. In all other resources (disk size, cores, ram, etc) the legacy kvm ssd plans are better--especially since the pure ssd plans are still all 100% raid-10. Of course if you really want it, we'd love to sell it :)

    As much as you can until the deadline on January 2 :)

    Who knows, maybe the market for push-up to dollar improves and we can run a special again.

    My chest is still sore from the 2023 push-ups to celebration new year, so I performed 100 squats instead.

    Hello Guys, New Year Greetings from Mexico!

    I've been talking and working a bit with Crunchbits :) because FreeVPS.org has been caught in a crunch :) trying to get together Blesta, Virtfusion, and a couple of new servers. FreeVPS.org is not quite where it needs to be yet, but maybe we're only a few bits away. :)

    Now putting the jokes aside, I've only been working with Crunchbits for a short time. In that short time, however, Crunchbits has been awesome! They're very quick to respond, they don't hesitate to say when they don't know something, they don't try to pretend or conceal, they're very forthcoming, and they seem very well organized. After merely a hint from me, Crunchbits went out of their usual way to put together a special server configuration and a special install for FreeVPS.org. As best I can tell, everything Crunchbits did works perfectly! Every interaction with Crunchbits has been just like this thread, fast, and filled with enthusiasm and humor!

    There are quite a few providers here who I think are great. But somebody has to lead them all. Just my two cents, but I imagine Crunchbits is gonna raise the standard.

    Hope you guys each have a wonderful 2023! Crunchbits, best of luck to you!

    Tom

    I'd be interested in considering renting your GPU servers when they become available

    I hope this qualifies for freebie #1 :)

    I appreciate the very kind words. There are definitely many excellent providers on LET, a lot of knowledge and experience. Ideally we can compliment their offerings and learn a little resulting in an improved LET for us all.

    @fensuiji said:

    There are plenty of hours left to increase your strength and idle VPSes :)

    I don't want to make any promises, but if there is something specific you're looking for always feel free to open a ticket (i.e. my use case prefers Xeons over EPYC or vice-versa). It will definitely be a lower-priority item but that doesn't equate to 'ignored' here. I would prefer to have clients get what they want if we have it and can accommodate the request. Migrations are pretty seamless and we're ahead of schedule on hypervisor deployments so there is generally room everywhere.

    @lentro said:

    :tongue:

    I hope this qualifies for freebie #1 :)

    Supply on these has been pretty tight, they generally get rented immediately (similar to the 120TB specials). However, the unique combinations of servers means there is always something that tends to sit when it comes off contract. Right now we have some A6000's that had a little bit of a funky setup that recently came off a yearly contract which we haven't reconfigured yet. If you have something specific you're looking for, just shoot a ticket to us to get an accurate quote/availability. We have a lot of flexibility on the GPU/HPC builds. At the moment we only have A6000, A5000, and RTX 3090's in production but I believe some Tesla P/V100's (don't quote me) that also freed up after 3 years.

    Oh and of course it qualifies. Just to clarify since I've had a lot of DM's about it: I just wanted some actual post, that is all. Not just smashing keyboard or writing 'tshirt'. Really not that strict ;)

    Couple more hypervisors passed testing and went live this evening. A lot less worried about running low now.
