Whether or not I get tagged, I am still curious about these two questions. :P
Update has been pushed and confirmed. CLI features should be live.
New invites (+36):
@DataRecovery @Saragoldfarb @QuenFea @tototo @pwned @rpqu @nghialele @zGato @Xrmaddness @MannDude @lothos @Void @YassGames @victory7 @stupidgenius @Smigit @mandala @HuiW @LowkeyS @unsafetypin @corbpie @bdl @smallpancakes @cainyxues @nekomikoreimu @truemagic @ebietsy @lothos @giang @Fubuki @victory7 @Frobsy @DanSummer @Headfirst @dosai
...and @forest
All please DM me e-mails to send invites. Especially you @zGato.
@forest to answer:
1. Not explicitly banned, though I don't think we're best for it. We are going to hold account-holder responsible to our AUP/TOS and $5 VM popping constantly for violations will just get suspended/booted. I much more highly recommend @MannDude IncogNET who is setup to handle that better.
Totally understand!
Thanks! I only ask because I know there are some providers that say "no mining" and then get mad when a non-mining Monero node is hosted because it's "blockchain technology".
Of course. Running a simple node would look like any other application, no specific rules against actually using your hardware. Just view it as 'resource abuse' lens. Dedicated server? Don't care.
Looking forward to checking out the CLI over the weekend.
@crunchbits can you make me the new CEO instead
When i get to 18yo i voted for beanman109 in my country.
trying to take my job? @skorupion make sure his accounts are closed.
Mmm trying panel on cell phone and already set a password for a new VPs order, the. Added PayPal and when ready to pay it shows
“Value error, Provide a password or an SSH public key”
No chance to
Change it so started over and now it gives me:
“Network error. Check your connection and try again.”
Charge was already done , received PayPal msg
Checking dashboard the invoice there pending but “ Awaiting crypto payment”
Two quick things (not really related to the QA testing, just quick observations):
Don't pay us yet. We add credit after the customer invite is accepted.
I have already pmed you about my invite, but there has been an answer since the 4th.
have you checked your email?
Ah alright. I accepted the invite already (looking through the panel now).
Edit: I see $30 in there now!
Shouldn't have let the cat out.
Nice way to get some more $$$ for more fumos
Just some preliminary notes from the order page prior to any purchases:
On https://cloud.synteq.com/order/vps?from=type, the slider visually implies continuously-variable choices, so it's visually-unsettling to see it jump through discrete values. For certain parameters it's obvious that there are no in-between choices (such as number of vCPUs), but it would be useful for other options, such as RAM and disk space, to support finer-grained choices.
Moving the Cores, RAM, or Storage sliders causes a flood of requests for each value that it passes over in a POST request to /public/vps/availability. The requests should only be sent after the slider has come to a stop for a second or two, or the availability limitations should be sent to the client and any issues with the chosen configuration being unavailable should be determined client-side.
A lot of repeated requests (e.g. to /auth/me, /public/vps/headroom, /public/vps/availability) would be better off being sent over a WebSocket connection, with individual GET, POST, and OPTIONS requests only being used as fallback.
The "Double click to type" indicator is confusing. I tried double-clicking several times on the slider and nothing happened. It took a few tries until I figured out that I had to double-click the number itself above the slider. Additionally, I can't select anything that's not a preset value. For example, I double click on the number to choose bandwidth and I set "50", and it changes to 40. This is problematic because each increment doubles the total bandwidth (e.g. if 40 TB is not enough and I need 50, I can't select that and have no choice but to choose 40 or 80).
The SVG graphics for the Linux distribution choser don't seem to load from the AWS S3 bucket. They are being blocked by Firefox's "OpaqueResponseBlocking" feature (this is a problem with CORS). Still, probably a good idea to host those SVGs locally.
When I select "My Project > Metal" and the press "+ Order Server", it redirects me to the "Order new" page that is not specific to dedicated servers, offering me all products including VPSes. This is unlike when I press "+ Deploy" on "My Project > Cloud" which brings me directly to the page relevant for VPS hosting.
Going to "New VDS Performance" will not allow me to pass. It keeps asking me to choose a plan to continue but does not actually show any plans:
What's the timeframe to be eligible? Should I be trying to do every test today or can I take my time over the next couple of days in order to explore more functionality?
Something is off with the pricing calculation for resizing.
Before:
In Resize:
Is it possible it's not keeping the cores dedicated and reverting to shared?
EDIT:
Figured it out. Resizing drops the block storage?
EDIT 2:
Also wanted to add that, outside of the resize window and the "VPS - Dedicated" in the Cloud list, there doesn't appear to be any indication that this VPS has dedicated/pinned cores? Some way to show that vs shared seems like a good idea.
Additionally, there's no option for port speed in the configuration. Is that intentional?
thank you mr crankbis
Thank you very much for the invitation!
Is this still going? if so, count me in!
interested
@Xrmaddness @forest via ticket or bug reports please. Going to be missed here.
Got it, thanks! Will send that way for subsequent reports.
what did I do
sent pm!
First of all, when loading the
/@crunchbitsAssets such as 1,2 is suboptimal. The worst offender is the 8.3MB footer
For example:
$ optipng call-to-action.png
** Processing: call-to-action.png
4056x2096 pixels, 4x8 bits/pixel, RGB+alpha
Reducing image to 3x8 bits/pixel, RGB
Input IDAT size = 8322907 bytes
Input file size = 8347348 bytes
Trying:
zc = 9 zm = 8 zs = 0 f = 0 IDAT size = 7050418
zc = 9 zm = 8 zs = 0 f = 5 IDAT size = 4972166
zc = 9 zm = 8 zs = 1 f = 5 IDAT size = 4882041
Selecting parameters:
zc = 9 zm = 8 zs = 1 f = 5 IDAT size = 4882041
Output IDAT size = 4882041 bytes (3440866 bytes decrease)
Output file size = 4882098 bytes (3465250 bytes = 41.51% decrease)
This image isn't suited for png.
$convert call-to-action.png -quality 90 call-to-action.jpg551932 call-to-action.jpg93.4% file size reduction without great lost of fidelity. Or just use svg replacement
Vital stats: 39 images, sorted by transferred size
Therefore, 12.7s load time could be 100% attributed to unoptimized footer image.
the UI looks nice. anyhow, i noticed that
https://cloud.synteq.com/order/vds-performance?from=type
https://cloud.synteq.com/order/metal?from=type
does not show what config other then the location being locked to Dallas, TX and the only thing you can do is "Add block storage" with a number from 1-32 but everything else works fine. i guess it was left that way or just a WIP. Other then that It looks normal
Hi Fubuki, really appreciate the feedback (and UI compliment)
Since it's came up a few times from a few different users, will add a note here;
This is a temporary, and intentional "bug" (albeit, ugly). Right now, we technically "have stock" for both of these product lines, but have disabled the plans through the beta testing period. Hence, the half-baked appearance. In a production environment, we'd never have plans disabled (and if we did, /order/{plan_type} would be a disabled route)
running a YABS test to see how fast the bandwidth is for the vps atm. looks to be running on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8260 CPU @ 2.40GHz for the Shared CPU type
I see. I will keep a note on that. I can wait when those are available after the beta test. I do have a few questions though
I think that's all i have for now
