    I can prolly do that for you in near future maybe i will name my subnet RackNerd(if i can afford one that is). jokes aside i wonder if RN will do any Indian pop......

    Hi @TrK -- We do have a decent client base from India, and we truly appreciate this market! When we last visited this idea internally a couple years back, unfortunately the bandwidth and colocation economics did not make sense for us.

    That said, we're always interested in expansion opportunities, and would be happy to take a fresh look at this again, now that some time has passed since we've last considered this idea. Never say never :)

    There's about 5hrs left for the engagement giveaway and like 15hrs left for the gleam giveaway!

    WHat item do you have eyes on, in the Gleam GA?

    Honestly, any of them! :lol: Before the last one (won a sweater), I could say I never win the gleam giveaways even though I've entered many of them over the years.

    Me as well. I haven't had luck most of the time when it comes to lottery.

    Btw @ralf, how to make a swapfile to run gb6 on YABS?

    fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
    chmod 0600 /swapfile
    mkswap /swapfile
    swapon -a
    

    Thanks for sharing :) Also, don't forget to add it to /etc/fstab so that it persists upon reboots.

    That sweater should be here Saturday (tomorrow), at least I think it will be. I did tell Dustin that I'm fine with it shipping with the "RackNerd Leather Keychain + RackNerd Pen + RackNerd Sticker" comment giveaway I won in this thread which is scheduled for tomorrow (unless USPS has some issue).

    Speaking of USPS issues, a day ago, one of my acquaintances just sent me a tracking number with usps for something they mailed in December to 2 states away.

    The package has been going back and forth between his state and the destination since early December about every 3 days.

    I think the tracking page is going to max out on updates sometime soon..

    Yeah, I've had a couple that travel around the metro for like a week before it actually goes out for delivery. I know my parents and friends in a different state (smaller town), have issues all the time. One they shared with me was crazy. It was shipped from one city to another within the same state (like 200 miles apart). It went perfectly from the one to other but then it went to like 3 other cities in the state, back to the proper one, then to the southern US (they live along the Canadian border), then it came back to the proper one which it sat for like a week before finally being delivered. It was like 2 months in total. It just blew my mind! Though I guess they also sometimes will only get their mail one time per week so obviously they have some issue...

    P.S. If you're in the US, I highly recommend looking into signing up for informed delivery if you're not already! It's super nice to know what mail should be arriving and it even picks up the tracking numbers for packages automatically!

    Anyone has a favourite location? I love that RN is is Ireland but already have servers there so that's a pass. Now I have some dedis and a couple of VMS in Dallas so I think I'm good there. How is San Jose performing?

    Im pretty happy with the one i have in LA, even accessing it cross country. Also have some in thier chicago location as its pretty central. The LA one i put the most use into at the moment and havent had any CPU scheduling issues.

    LA also has a faster path to asian countries as we have heard so you'll have good US access and probably best Asian country access for a racknerd host

    I will say the one weird thing is how the data center is actually in a skyscraper in the middle of a city.. it seems less efficient but they made it work. Lookup the issue they had once with a fire on a compeltly unrelated floor though :)

  • Anyone know if reinstalling the OS on a racknerd vps via SolusVM will cause you to lose the lifetime upgrades? Want to be extra careful here.. I realized I accidently put on almalinux 8 instead of 9, oops.

    There is certain progress in this regard here specially in Mumbai and Hyderabad i believer there are already a dozen or so DCs providing full rack colo here but sadly they never advertise their pricing in public. Might be a good idea to get in touch with them for this. Let's hope we will see some serious ASIA expansion in upcoming year or so. Cheers for the RackNerd.

    Hi @Beniskickbutt -- Reinstalling or changing the operating system of your VPS will not modify the specifications or resources of your VPS, so you're in the clear there :)

    I've had the LA single core for 3 or 4 years now and it's been very stable with pretty good connectivity.

    I got a Chicago 2-core one at the same time, planning to use it for a mail server, but the IP ranges were on multiple blacklists and I decided it was easier to just let it go and put the mail on the LA one as well.

  • SaragoldfarbSaragoldfarb Member, Megathread Squad

    Thanks. Looks like LA is popular :).

    Just have 1 server there with virmache so another one wouldn't hurt.

    LA and France - Multacom has great connectivity and direct peering with many Asian ISPs. Same for velia France, prem routing.

    San Jose seems to be Cogent heavy, so not a big fan.
