[20:55] joepie91: works for me [20:55] ah [20:55] a handy side-effect of leaving a screen(1) on my VPS on IRC is that i learn as soon as i get home if my VPS or its network has gone down [20:55] happened once in months [20:55] right, I do care about support - when shit hits the fan (and it'll inevitably will at some point), I want a provider to be helpful rather than another obstacle to navigate around [20:56] that's not a reliable uptime monitor [20:56] apt-get install uptimed ! [20:57] I don't just mean system uptime [20:57] also network uptime [20:57] connecting via a screen won't catch network blips [20:57] while those can have real consequences [20:57] apt-get install uptimed smokeping [20:57] and DO had serious issues with network blips, a year ago anyway [20:57] joepie91: yeah, obvious disclaimer is that nobody loses money if my VPS goes down [20:57] so unless they've fixed that... [20:57] routing/connectivity/support/abuse [20:57] winr4r: same for me, doesn't mean I don't want reliability :) [20:57] all important [20:58] fair dos [21:00] anyhow, as far as I'm concerned, I don't really see DigitalOcean beating RamNode in any respect other than having a Singapore(?) location [21:00] the perf is worse, the price is about the same, the disk space is much less, the network is (or at least was) less reliable, the support isn't as good [21:01] gotcha [21:02] (and RamNode isn't burning VC money either) [21:02] (proper, sustainably built business) [21:02] oh, and DO doesn't offer DDoS mitigation either [21:02] (that really doesn't bother me, i don't mind bankrupting VVCs) [21:03] -V [21:03] winr4r: I don't mind that either, but that's not my point [21:04] VC capital is almost a sure sign that there's no sustainable business [21:04] which means it can implode or "pivot" at any time (read: you as a customer get screwed over, packed in a fancy looking package) [21:04] just look at what Heroku is pulling now, for example [21:04] that's the kind of antics to generally be expected from business that either get started with VC capital or are still running off it [21:05] what's heroku up to? [21:05] xmc: tightening up their free plan [21:05] ah [21:05] i don't agree, i treat hosting like i do supermarkets [21:05] I believe it translates to something along the lines of "you can use it 18 out of 24 hours a day" [21:05] which is just... what [21:06] winr4r: your business with a supermarket ends the moment you step away from the cash register [21:06] cheap, and if it disappears there's really no shortage of other places to sell me the same thing [21:06] that is not the case for a hosting provider [21:06] your pot of instant coffee is not going to disappear from your storage cabinet, just because the supermarket you bought it from went bankrupt [21:06] yet that's /exactly/ what happens with hosting [21:07] they're really not comparable at all [21:08] joepie91: the analogy was to point out that there's a lot of competition in the same market and that, taking the wider case, the kind of person that knows how to work a VPS is almost certainly going to have local copies of shit [21:08] winr4r: whether there is a lot of competition depends entirely on the kind of service [21:08] winr4r: for example, name a replacement for vps-forge [21:09] there goes 95% of the VPS companies right off the list, because they're not in Hetzner [21:09] joepie91: Hetzner? [21:09] the remaining ones are typically either out of stock, severely restrict bandwidth usage, or are expensive [21:09] yes, Hetzner [21:09] a datacenter in Germany [21:09] hetzner is some datacenter iirc [21:09] with a very good network for EU [21:10] it's /extremely/ stable [21:10] like, "goes months without a single blip" stable [21:10] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [21:11] ah gotcha [21:12] winr4r: what further complicates matters is that many VPS providers have node reboots with some regularity [21:12] so this [21:12] de1:~# uptime [21:12] 00:22:59 up 243 days, 4:19, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [21:12] is very unlikely to be easy to find [21:12] taking into account other requirements [21:12] eh, i just don't see how it's an issue, there's no shortage of VPS providers and while they might not be as good as vps-forge, their business model was unsustainable by their own admission [21:13] winr4r: there was never any such admission. [21:13] *** dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs [21:13] read the email carefully [21:13] in fact, I strongly suspect it comes down to "this is too taxing on our personal lives" [21:13] which is probably the #1 cause for shutdowns in the VPS industry for companies that have been around for a while [21:14] and the "not as good as" is exactly the problem [21:14] joepie91: i factor that into "bad business model" [21:14] it being that good is part of my requirements [21:14] which are not fulfilled by others [21:14] I don't /care/ that there are worse options available, they do not fulfill my requirements [21:14] so no, you can't just arbitrarily replace a VPS [21:14] winr4r: it doesn't. [21:15] I'm kind of running out of ways to describe this [21:15] or explain this, rather [21:16] "there's other VPS companies" in no way logically results in "it is easy to replace any VPS" [21:20] *** Start has quit IRC (Disconnected.) [21:21] joepie91: we don't disagree as much as your wording suggests [21:25] i treat VPSes like a dude handing out free pizzas, that's going to be fun while it lasts, but i am not going to go hungry when it ends [21:27] and people with VPSes are the kind of people with enough technical knowledge that they have no excuse if they don't know how to make lunch when free pizza party ends [21:28] (you can blame SketchCow for my love for stretched analogies) [21:41] archivebot@archivebot-proto2:~$ w [21:41] 21:41:38 up 360 days, 4:51, 1 user, load average: 1.43, 1.51, 1.46 [21:41] let's see if digitalocean can do one year [21:43] winr4r: right, that might be how you treat VPSes - my problem is that you seemed to be extending that attitude to "VPS users" in general, which is incorrect ;) [21:47] 17:47:20 up 182 days, 12:24, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 [21:47] half way there, yipdw [21:47] I actually really hope DO does because ArchiveBot startup is not documented [21:48] and I've punted on supervisory processes and startup procedures because I hate doing that [21:48] one of these days I'll get around to it [21:49] joepie91: maybe your social groups give you a different perspective, but all the people i've known with a VPS have been the kind that know how to do rsync and move their shit somewhere else in twenty minutes [21:50] i can move my shit elsewhere in a hurry but it'll take a while to unpack it and set up shop again [21:50] dns and so forth, at the very least [21:50] winr4r: but that's my point. you're deriving it from your own perspective without taking into account that other perspectives may (and probably do) exist [21:50] which is the problem with most blanket assertions [21:51] mmmh blankets [21:51] joepie91: that's what discussion is for, finding other perspectives :) [22:01] joepie91: tbh, i trust hosting providers so little that i wrote a static site generator for my motorsports stuff to make a migration to another provider as painless as possible [22:02] *** SimpBrain has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [22:04] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [22:15] *** dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs [22:40] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [22:44] *** BlueMaxim has joined #archiveteam-bs [22:55] *** dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs [23:11] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [23:17] *** Fusl has quit IRC (Max SendQ exceeded) [23:17] *** dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs [23:18] *** Fusl has joined #archiveteam-bs [23:21] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [23:26] *** dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs [23:40] sent a sales query to afterburst [23:40] let's see what happens [23:40] they've been around for a good while, I recall them being similar to VPS-Forge [23:40] also in Germany, but a diff network [23:41] cc winr4r [23:51] joepie91: good luck :)
