  • Too complicated. If the $28 allows creating 4 vps, then just list the 4 vps at $7 each and say that if you buy more than one, then rejiggering the resources between them is allowed. That's what the product is anyway, I thought.
  • Typically you have to assign an ipv4 to each vm. That said it still seems to me like a gimmick product that is rarely offered. DO lets you aggregate bandwidth between VM's but not stuff like ram. And I think they only do that because people were doing it sneakily anyway, by proxying thru the internal network.
  • Keep price limit the same, just mention in post that combining and subdividing plans is allowed. As always, plans over $7 can be on the provider's site.
  • Resource pools are a weird enough thing that I don't think LES needs special guidelines for them.
  • 3800x is current generation. It's a 3700x with a clock bump and higher TDP, making it a slightly odd choice for DC hosting where power costs are high. If you mean you want a 3950X, those are barely in anyone's hands right now so there are not likely to be any dedis available unless you build your own. If you want a 3900X…
  • Drug dealers offer Black Friday deals on the dark web
  • Has anyone mentioned Hetzner?

  • * To start with, one long-running thread, but if it gets active then 1 thread per day in a subforum for the purpose. * Only offers from providers with provider tags here, which will hopefully require some post history at some point * If feasible for bot programming purposes, at most one post per day per provider, and at…
  • https://tinyletter.com/site/about/ is a newsletter service that is now part of mailchimp. I think it wasn't before, so I guess it was acquired at some point. I've never used it from the sending side but there's a newsletter I receive through it, and it's nice, less full of annoying tracking links and other crap than…
  • Hmm ok, if I can fix it by uploading an image then fine. But, LET doesn't have this issue: I wonder what they are doing differently? It doesn't seem like something they'd have gone much out of their way for.
  • I'd rather not have that variation. Prefer to just have a fixed deal feed that could go into a thread and an RSS. Either there could be a long-running cestpit-like thread that would get a new automatic post whenever an offer apppeared, or there could be a subforum where there would be a new thread created 1x a day, where…
  • Seems reasonable to offer it to anyone who wants it, and open a special section or thread for the posts.
  • Is @exception0876 here? I guess not yet.
  • Certainly I wish @poisson the best with this project, and the whitelist is a good idea. But it's not just that I'm not the target audience for it: I also think the intended audience (inexperienced users) isn't a great target for it either. That type of user is likely to assume all servers with similar specs are equivalent…
  • Confirmed, enabling the referer header fixes the click twice to login issue.
  • * https://talk.lowendspirit.com/categories should mentiion offtopic category is logged-in only (it should stay logged-in only, i.e. the bug is only that the categories page doesn't say that it is). * I noticed on both LET and here, when I try to sign in I get an "incorrect password, try again" (or some such) message on…
  • If you can see the edit log, I went back and forth between 31416 (10000pi) and 27183 (10000e), finally went with 31416 just to root for the higher number. Older nerds might also recognize 22026 as exp(10) ;).
  • 31,416 (10000*pi rounded to nearest integer).
  • Ya know there are a bunch of these already but when it comes down to it, I've never found them useful. My main buying criterion is always what do I think of the humans at the other end of the service, and that's not something that can be captured in a database. By comparison, specs mean basically nothing. I'm experienced…
  • I don't understand the need for this and don't know what mailwizz/sendy are. For mailing lists mailman still works fine. For newsletters etc. there's tons of other stuff out there, including smtp client modules for just about everything.
  • Just vacuum that db once in a while, maybe from a late night cron task. Yes it does load fast, and I see very low ping, I guess because of cloudflare.
  • Firefox 70, linux, heavy adblock. The "profile" icon at the upper right of the screen seems to be a transcluded gravatar image (i.e. invasive tracker) which is blocked by adblock so I can't see it without lowering deflector shields :(. Would be much better to make it a generic silhouette or whatever LET uses. Or at least,…
