@scottalanmiller That was our local ISP here to a T; Literally 1 T1 and a 3Com Total Control so they could offer 56K speeds

@syko24 free... and useless: Limitations of the free license: The free license is limited to five locks per day which means the free edition defends your system against five unique attacks per day.

@JaredBusch said in 2.50/month host available at Vultr: @scottalanmiller said in 2.50/month host available at Vultr: @guyinpv said in 2.50/month host available at Vultr: So moral of the story; don't bother with a $2.50 VULTR instance. I had no issue with mine. Right the system was probably totally overloaded at the time. I'm sure it bounces all over the place.

@scottalanmiller said in Linode and Vultr Current Pricing Q1 2017: Vultr has a much superior (IMHO) web interface. Linode's is not at all on par. Completely Agree 100%

@aaronstuder said in Vultr Adds a Free Firewall Service: Is it just me, or is Vultr killing it recently? Are they? With Linode's improved pricing, Vultr still is trailing for us in most use cases. It's a bit too costly and a bit too slow. We just get way more bang for the buck with Linode and Linode has load balancers which I think are a bit more important than firewalls. Vultr is doing well, but killing it seems a bit far as we are migrating off in several cases because it just isn't the best value compared to it's more mature competitor any longer. It's definitely doing better than Digital Ocean these days, though.

@Romo I should find out soon enough. Just finished spinning up a new VM for this.

crazy awesome performance That's KVM for you

They are going to integrate LetsEncrypt, too.

That's that. You can use extremely limited (2) VMs for testing or development, nothing more. You VPS, no cloud computing. No multi-tenant. So that is why Apple has no VPS presence, it's not allowed. You can get PS, but not VPS.

Thanks.

Looking at the details page, here is a limitation depending on how you handle client accounts, or your own accounts. What are the Lightsail service limits? You can currently create up to 20 Lightsail instances, 5 static IPs, and 3 DNS domain zones in a Lightsail account. But this is pretty cool. Ability to manage traffic before it hits your VPS: Can I manage firewall settings for my instance? . You can control the data traffic for your instances by using the Lightsail firewall. From the Lightsail console, you can set rules about which ports of your instance are publicly accessible for different types of traffic.

@scottalanmiller Plain

@jaredbusch said in ScreenConnect High CPU Usage: @scottalanmiller said in ScreenConnect High CPU Usage: Have another system doing this this week. Been about eight hours so far. We are thinking that it is just doing the database rebuild and compression work. But it is insane how much CPU gets used for this. Do you not have it doing this on a regular schedule? Not my system, it was moved to a different server and had to be rebuilt.

@scottalanmiller @scottalanmiller said: We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us? Here is the first IP address.

@JaredBusch said: @scottalanmiller posted an almost click bait worthy title claiming that Azure was down. Azure was never down and there was no outage. He lost access to services because Microsoft closed or deleted the account improperly. That's still Azure down. To us and our customers, Azure was completely down. All servers offline. It's an outage same as any other. It's localized in its impact to an account based "region" rather than to a datacenter-based region or whatever, but it is an outage just the same. The system was supposed to be up, and it was down and Microsoft was unable to bring it up. Even to Microsoft's own technical team it was an outage that they could not fix (for half a day.)

They maybe tied to the admin account you had.

@PSX_Defector said: @scottalanmiller said: @thecreativeone91 said: Around here they are near Virginia Tech and offer very low paying jobs so some of the poor support is expected. They famously pay way, way under market in San Antonio. Pretty much anyone good working there can move on almost instantly making for high churn and the top 50% of the company attritioning out year over year. Guess I should be glad they didn't call me back when I was shitcanned from the big red V. They were opening up a datacenter in Grapevine and were looking for Windows support goons. Although it's kind of nice getting poached by another provider in the industry. They have a reputation for paying half of standard industry rates wherever they are. I don't think you'd have been interested at all.
