    For you seeding guys, I know that you mostly seed linux isos, but in case a copyrighted torrent made it to the watch folder by mistake and without you noticing fast enough...

    Did you ever receive an abuse report from online.net? If so, did they let you time to handle that?

  • @elwebmaster said:
    That's why online.net should charge setup fee or ask for a year in advance prepayment, as well as limit to one server per account. I doubt they are making much money out of it anyway, they should at least try to maximize the number of customers it will attract. Having one or two guys hoard a bunch of servers just because they can or to resell them for profit, does no good neither to online.net, neither to the community.

    This post in this very thread has a reply from the CEO of online.net where he outlines why they run this offer - its just for advertising. Each server costs more to run each month than it makes "and cost us 3 or 4€ per month and per customer".

    Its possibly one the cheapest forms of advertising they could have done, and its really worked and has gotten their name known outside of France.

  • @Autosnipe is that a resell of the online.net servers?

  • Unable to get anything related to Torrent in their tos or aup.so asking here I'd anyone tried it

  • @Autosnipe what is it you're doing for the panel for people to reinstall, etc?

  • @krs360 - at current its by ticket but im working to make use of their api and work out a way to do automated re-install by my billing panel

    rm_ said: Come on @kcaj tell them the whole story how you did it; with ten simultaneous iperf streams to ping.online.net -- which is less than 1ms away and is on a 10 Gbps connection itself. That means all of the natural limits are not in place (such as the ping to remote host, or their connection speed, or the upstream provider interconnect busyness, or heck, even the HDD speeds of servers uploading and downloading files). You can play dumb and say "but I only used my 1 Gbps port" as much as you want, but the problem was that you ended up using perhaps 99.99% of it continuously, something which will never happen in real life due to the limits mentioned above: the real usage is more likely to be up to 70-80-90%. No wonder (and I am glad) that their automated systems watch for and shoot down that abnormal 99.9% usage, since it's a sure sign of either something like a local DDoS or some other artificial and maybe malicious usage pattern.

    That's... interesting. He has a habit of doing this, don't you @kcaj?

    I wonder if you provided online.net with the same excuses you gave me.

    Thanks for the link, didn't read that before; pretty interesting to have numbers...

  • I have a Kidechire from @Sady. Working great, and he is fast to get thing done. rDNS etc.

    Are you using the 'outsourcing' option? If so, can you handle reinstalls, reboot, etc yourself? (Don't know how this works - if other members did experiment with it, please chime in!)

    Absolutely YES.

  • mustafaramadhan said: Absolutely YES.

    Thanks. That's a pretty nice feature!

  • I don't think these images have been posted here before.

  • What? This switch doesn't even have a 10G uplink port.

  • rds100 said: What? This switch doesn't even have a 10G uplink port.

    Looks like 2 x 1Gb/s uplinks from those switches which look to be serving around 24 servers each.

  • I might be interested to snag one (maybe up to three from different resellers) if the price has very minimal markup and you accept paypal. Though it would be mostly idle like the vps I get once in a while. I only sometimes use my vps when I have to show a client some development progress. @AutoSnipe @Sady

    Idle dedi is a waste, for VPSes OK, some of the resources might get redistributed, but on dedis, idleness is a crime against the environment.

    A whole 3 watt wasted, try also to breathe less often, you emit CO2 which is known to cause global warming.

    It's not about 3 Watts, it's always about attitude ;)

    I am not talking about that:
    1. Building costs: It takes a lot of mining and energy to build them, sure, less than others, but they still contain dangerous heavy metals, rare to mine and who knows how many people were poisoned, their land stolen, etc for mining operations;
    2. Costs to operate besides power: spare parts keeping at hand and producing, people allocated to do the maintenance, the share of the switches and routers they occupy, space taken, even in this case they are lower than a full 1U some are on par such as port in the switch;
    3. People to care for them which could have done some other things, people have an environmental footprint, as you said, they make CO2 :);
    4. The biggest cost of all is the cost of opportunity, this could have empowered a poor indian/chinese to make a few bucks or learn. They should have put limits in place one or 2 per account.

  • How to setup the ipv6 on centos 7..help please

  • @trexos said:
    btw looks like I'm getting back my money for the windows licence :) The support told me that first I have to pay the invoice, because they can't/aren't allowed to change an invoice. But they'll refund me afterwards :)

    Glad to hear that. I also stupidly chose to install Windows on my server to play around with. I did it on my phone though, and I swear that 29.99e disclaimer wasn't there. Anyway, I got billed 29.99 for 3 days of usage (11/28-11/30) but didn't actually reinstall with linux until late December 1st. Luckily they responded to my ticket and agreed to refund me. I had a terrible feeling they were going to charge me another 29.99e for that 1 day in december on the next invoice. That would be a total of 60e for 4 days of usage! And I spent that time trying to figure out how to change the UI language from French to English (which I never did)

  • @joereid yeah it was the same with my. I wanted to try it out and noticed that it's french, but in the end I was able to change the language. How long did the refund take? Did the support refund you fast?

    I'm still waiting for the actual credit to go back on my card, but it took support a couple days to give in. I didn't have to argue or anything, I just explained the situation in the original ticket and had to wait.
