Good day
Have you guys done any performance tuning for running FreeBSD.x on kvm?
We're doing some testing to see which hypervisor to use for our next line of products at work
I'm pretty much in love with kvm now
"i didn't think it was possibly to look more shady than prgmr but arp wins" - coworker, comparing VPS services with minimal Web sites.
lol
lol
what do you mean, arp's website is the best web 2.0 site in history
web 0.2 :)
;D
to be fair, the arp site does just what it needs to do :)
i like sites like that
Yeah, I love it.
no lag
yup
It targets exactly the right audience.
exactly
people who need all the web 2.0 stuff probably don't want a vps ;)
They want more hand-holding.
Which is fine, and is what I want from a hosting company during my day job.
yup :)
LOL, arp's site looks shadier than prgmr?? prffffffffffffff..
;)
i mean, I _did_ design the site specifically to be "to the point" and zero fluff.  I've attracted an audience that is exactly what I wanted
targeted towards experts who already know what they want
but come on, prgmr doesn't even use any color...
Yeah, it works perfectly.
and last i checked, they didn't even take credit cards
how do they get money i wonder
paypal?
yeah paypal
paypal can take credit cards..
right, but their order form wants you to put in your paypal email, as if you're paying with paypal, not a CC; maybe i mis-understood that..
oh, well if the order form doesn't permit paypal cc's and only insists on paypal email addresses, then thats all they want
I send my company invoices out with a link to paypal to process either based on a paypal account or cc's, I don't care which
paypal fees are the killer
its less than a merchant account given my volume by quite a bit
merchant accounts cost $50/mo or so then you pay a percent on top of that
I have people use the paypal payment route 1-2 times a year if that
http://todd.fries.net/pub/434.pdf <-- sample invoice
$50/mo adds up to a lot quickly when you don't use it much, that's 5 vm's at arpnetworks, I can put that $50/mo to a lot better use *grin*
yeah, merchant accounts suck
may not be $50/mo but its not cheap
toddf, did you generate that invoice in openbsdows 7
?
openbsd 4.7 yes
well
i cant play modern warfare until i go buy a new vid card
oh the horror
it's not buying a new card
i have a damn nvidia geforce 285
but it's freaking being lame
assume you've tried various drivers
yea
tried it on my friends system too, which whom is an expert in that shit
i mean he'll cut off his sack for an extra frame per second.
he's been known to take the cover off cpu's so he could get better contact to the heatsink, voiding his warranty.. to get 2 degrees better cooling
heh
yea, tried it on his. his 275 worked fine.. played for a while, was so jealous
XP or Win 7?
7
it's the card man, it's messed up
i'll call EVGA soon
yea goooood luck with that
heh
im so gdamn good at the game
try a fresh XP SP3 install
12 gigs of ram..
the card is bad, did it in vista too. i know vista suck and 7 is related to vista..
but it's not the OS
so RMA it
yea, i'll call em
this is torchure
get a PS3
hell no
i dont know why anyone can play with a freaking thingy like that
the gyrodildo
you get used to it
not interested
got the restore of the data that i formatted is going slow cause the system im doing it on doesn't have enough sata
i could've jerry rigged it but..
i'm backing up to usb 2.0:/
