A certain RackNerd owner seems to like the water bottle, so y'all should hype it up while I take a brief nap before handling Christmas. hehe

Someone's gotta break up this spam a bit.
@dustinc can I get some more data transfer on invoice 5167765515?
I also (of course) ran yabs.
Here is the what a 2G looks like in NY.
Basic System Information:
Uptime : 0 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes
Processor : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
CPU cores : 1 @ 2999.998 MHz
AES-NI : ✔ Enabled
VM-x/AMD-V : ❌ Disabled
RAM : 1.9 GiB
Swap : 3.0 GiB
Disk : 38.3 GiB
Distro : Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel : 6.1.0-9-amd64
VM Type : KVM
IPv4/IPv6 : ✔ Online / ❌ Offline
It came preinstalled with almalinux. Probably alphabetically chosen. I am more familiar with debian. No hiccups during reinstallation.
IPv4 Network Information:
ISP : HostPapa
ASN : AS36352 HostPapa
Host : RackNerd LLC
Location : Buffalo, New York (NY)
Country : United States
The disk performance isn't great, but is probably due in part to everyone hammering the disk with yabs and installs, but not what I expect from SSD.

It looks like 1G port is performing as intended.

The cpu performance seems to be dragging just a little bit. One might assume this is normal as the node populates.

The CPU is a Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 with an expected single core score of 589, a difference of roughly 25% lower than hoped for. I wouldn't brag about it but at this time of year I don't think it's a cause for alarm.
What does concern me though is that the CPU has reached the EOL and is no longer receiving patches or updates. I couldn't in good conscience recommend this as a production server.
I won this VPS during the first giveaway in this thread. I just happened to log in at the right time before any bots woke up. A big thanks to dustin and the community at large for making these giveaways something to come back for year after year. I would certainly never complain about a gift. Its wonderful and I appreciate it, but the aged CPU is a relic that deserves a distinguished retirement behind a LAN and is of limited usefulness to me.
If it were possible to move me to a node with a CPU that is current through 2025 that would great. If that is not possible I ask that you give this prize back to the pool for someone else who will enjoy it more.
TL;DR
Double bandwidth.
Old cpu
Ain't no party like a racknerd party.
