Dual e5 v2/3/4, 2x 16c and 256gb ram + 1/2tb ssd 👀
He has strong opinions about IPv6 in general and about the equipment being able to handle IPv6 tables in a good way
I can kinda get the storing full tables part because hardware can be limited on a budget but the rest is dumb, get used to IPv6 or die.
I'm not expecting anything great this year, but if I'm able to replace some of my older monthly deals, that would be nice. At the $1/month range, it'd need to beat my current 512 MB/30 GB (HDD) VPS (tall order, I know). $2/month target to beat is 2GB/15GB (SSD).
I'll also be watching for cheap storage, and maybe even a really cheap (<$4/year) extreme low-end VPS.
SG small VPS deals
under $10 per year

would really love some archive storage deals ( >1$/TB)
hope some discount from seedbox provider
I don't engage in personal activities, including shopping.
lol.
Expecting my usual rant about IPv6?
and could actually be detrimental to provide.
Goes beyond full tables; There's also caches. I know some providers who's had such a huge pain to provide IPv6 even with extremely expensive and new routers it's not even funny, they had to severely restrict how IPv6 was provided, and they got flak because of this.
They ended up spending 10s of thousands to provide it, yet getting flak from IPv6 zealots, and it turned out like less than 1% of their customers ever used it, and from those large enough portion abused it necessitating the limitations (and causing downtime for other users), and almost as many of their customers asked to remove it as who used it, and even those who use it, only like 1% traffic went through IPv6.
Data is there to support a major case against IPv6, other than for marketing reasons.
That's just one example of many.
Besides, if you got IPv4 you can just add IPv6 tunnel if you really need that. Why make the 99.5% of users pay extra, so 0.5% can use it 1% of the time with no actually added connectivity?
That being said, once there is an actual business case for IPv6 we will probably implement it. As for now, the only "business case" is marketing, but it would be by far the most expensive running marketing campaign we've ever had -- and it's not because of hardware investment (we already got all that), it's the ongoing admin overhead on every single task involving networking, every single one of them.
Yes!
And I got it
lol, you are welcome X)
IPv6 just keeps on giving X)
Had an analytical Agent chat with ChatGPT powering it, included even IPv6 religious zealot in the discussion. (It's a type of debate to get to the ground truth by evaluating multiple perspectives essentially)
End result was exactly as expected, once again:
This is the end result of every single debate so far when it's done objectively and not with religious zealotry.
I'll reiterate, we will add support when there is a business case. Until then we will not put 99.5% of our customers through the pains of adding IPv6 (Costs, stuff breaking, downtime). At this moment there is no business case, infact, against;
"So there's no business case for IPv6 at this moment, infact one could argue against IPv6 due to the issues caused for existing customers?":
My expectations is to break websites
He might get best-effort
Get rid of charging fees and replace them by other offers.
Best effort is still better than nothing.
Enlighten me WTF
to do with a /48 IPV6 on a 2 core VPS? 
@sillycat
Well 100 Mbps is still an effort for some........
Edit:
1 /48 IPV6 is 65,536 /64 subnets, 1 /64 IPV6 has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 usable ip's so that is 65536 times 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 = OMFG
Second taught, never mind, we will just pollute the thread.
IPv6 is my favorite method for bypassing rate limits and bans on websites with less-than-knowledgeable administrators.
That is true, other than that? ( I will add this to TOS/hack and smack
)
EDIT: ah forget it, I got the point.
Single /64 is considered as single address by many different sites, if they block any IP from /64 block whole block is blacklisted, same with many different sites.
In some cases /64 work like single IPv4 address.
Some people need more than single /64 or single IPv4.
If you want to know more about my use case - data scraping. No shoes, proxies etc, just data scraping for small... kinda saas thats still in early development. While data scraping is not nicest use case, its far away from spamming.
The only thing I'm looking for is deals from GreenCloudVPS, and they have their 10th birthday sale soon so I might not even have to wait until Black Friday. Their 9th birthday sale had VPSes with 9 cores (Xeon) or 4 cores (AMD EPYC), 9GB RAM, 99GB NVME, for $99 every 3 years ($33/year).
I am expecting following dedicated server deal:
AMD Ryzen 7950X
32GB RAM
1TB NVMe
Unlimited Bandwidth @ 10Gbps
$1/year
Honestly, no expectations. Too many idlers already...
That is exactly why I said "less-than-knowledgeable administrators".
4 core Epyc (Even if older)
8GB RAM , 100GB SSD
1gbps unmetered (or at least 32TB)
$40 annually , sounds feasible?
Dedicated server $10-$20
i expect all mentioned expectations to happen now!
