We want Big Plate Chicken
https://redhousespice.com/big-plate-chicken-danpanji/
Good luck and thanks for all the fish.
Is it time to start posting chicken gif yet?
FOMO ALERT! FOMO ALERT!
As we don't advertise the Yearly stuff anywhere besides the green forums, I figure this message will make its way around where needed.
Going to add approximately 4-5 more hypervisor's worth of yearlies and then thats it. No more.
Currently only 2 of the hypervisors are ported and ready, so some yearlies will have ~24hr delay before deploying. If you have a paid order: you will be deployed. We will honor the transfer requests to: PA and OKC when they're ready. There is no strict deadline, but I can only promise you that I don't want to pay for empty rack space just as badly as you want your VM at new location.
Anyone curious about a bit more behind the scenes reasonings:
The Yearly Chicken was a sustainable "budget entry" and low-risk introduction for customers to give us a shot. We still want to use decent quality hardware and unfortunately the TLC SSDs that we are confident in and keep in our logistics rotation have more than doubled in price since the first Yearly plan was sold. Like most providers, we do try to order ahead and keep stock on hand but as that is winding down it would become quickly unsustainable for the initial build costs to 2.5-3x on these as almost the entirety of the hardware value is in the SSD array backing each node. On top of that, starting to see DDR4 ECC RAM availability/price points tighten a bit. It's still there, and you can still grab some deals in bulk but definitely not what was there 6-12 months ago.
Oh and: drawing results within the hour. Will tag all winners (gonna be a bit of spam to mass tag, sorry in advance).
@FAT32 WE LOVE YOU!
Should I grab more? I'm pretty sure I don't need one but ... but ...
Good luck everyone!
Stock is updated now... should I buy more?
Very pleased with my 4.5 so far, moved my forum software over ahead of schedule and it's rocking. Thanks, crunchbits!
time?
It's approximately 12:50PM right now
I really need some crunchbits chickens.
You beat me to it
Beat meat to it
Fingers crossed for the raffle! (BTW, will existing storage services be eligible for transfer to OKC?)
no
I caved... bought another service. Thanks @crunchbits, you got me again
Buy it all so that random farmers won’t buy then and run yabs all day
Sweet! It's a cool service, I typically buy cases in bulk from different places when it's on sale but I have ammo2 take like $20 a month in different calibers and usually get a shipment once a year or so. Been using the service for about 5 years now, when they first went beta, it's pretty cool and adds up quicker then you think!
I should probably buy one more, the 4.5GB one... but ehh, everything is on hold atm
I already have three 4.5GB, must resist!
Whats one more guys?
Come on lets all get another and run YABS
I got one 4.5G, let's leave some for others.
Moaaaaar Storageeee
hey @crunchbits ,,, time for me to sleep now ...
i know i will miss the fun
we can still have good time another day
good night all
Not exactly--we can make sure you have a slot as soon as the hardware is ready, but you'd have to migrate your data (or wipe/recreate) between the sites. Storage instances do not nicely migrate internally for us when you get >1TB of actual data in use.
Oh they've been up. @sh97's https://crunchbits.monster is pretty nice.
I'd like to move two vm to PA when you are ready. Can they be deployed on different nodes if capacity enough?
