EasyVM Deadpool

Provider EasyVM has sold out to PureVoltage, or if you prefer, you can say they “joined the PureVoltage family”.  As @aqua posted

I understand that this is long overdue, but a long string of events have happened that need to be addressed. Leading up to this acquisition, lots have noticed the lack of proper support, reduced performance within the network, and the drop in overall quality of service to the clients of EasyVM. This is just the sheer tip of the iceberg, which I am allowed to share, as there are lots going behind the scenes legally.

Lots indeed – the thread is nearing 200 comments with over 5,000 views.

Calin and the $22,000 BitCoin Drama

Some time ago, a user hired iHostArt / @Calin to provision some dedicated serves and sent him $22,000 in crypto.  The servers were never provisioned, Calin said it was being held up due to KYC by his crypto connection, and the whole thing descended into a a shouting match and a lost Provider Tag.  Now there is a new thread from @Calin with updates – and some swiftly posted retorts.

Prepaid-Host Outage

Sheesh…and we just shared them on LEB a week ago.  See the thread.

Hetzner CPU Steal Time Reporting

Why is it zero?  Is it a big conspiracy?  Not really.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
