console.cust now shows VM service label (optional) along with UUID and name
whee looks like we had some network instability
up_the_irons: Hello again. I've placed our order. Please pay attention to our needed special instructions. Hope it'll be a long-term business with your company. Really good services, it seems. Many thanks.
up_the_irons: By the way, we do not and will not need any IPv6 services/extensions/options. So please exclude this with our setup. Thank you.
O_o
up_the_irons: Having lots of connectivity issues, even between vps hosts, since the maintenance.
dexar: if you want something like that .. emailing support@ tends to be a good way to get it officially noticed, here it is subject to up_the_irons managing to link your nick with your order and such. why oh why would you want to _disable_ IPv6 entirely? If you do not use it now, you can ignore it, and perhaps use it later ;-)
Not wanting v6 so much that you request it to be disabled seems very short-sighted to me. But hey, it's not my VPS
toddf: Thanks for your advice, then I'll do so. And for IPv6; I'm sure that in my network I will not use IPv6 only IPv4. So according to the KISS principle I will need to disable it. Oh perhaps to get less load on the VPS/its network/memory, etc? But yeah, it may stay as it is.
dexar: you can always request that it be null routed prior to arrival, disabling v6 on the vps itself is up to you, if you're worried about the load of an extra alias on your ethernet interface I think you have a few other things to worry about as well
toddf: Oh yes, good suggestion, thought that too. Indeed, there'd be few other things to worry about. Null-routing it would be the best. Thanks.
mhoran: that may be unrelated; i've seen some very high traffic to kvr02 on about 3 occassions in the last 48 hours; trying to find the culprit
up_the_irons: just configured /48 that you routed for me, works fine. Thank you so much
Hien: awesome!
VPS at ARP has many unique features, really cool.
hien: I have yet to hear anything that has the cost + console access featureset of arpnetworks .. native v6 is unheard of .. talk about vendor lockin I love ;-)
eh even vpslink has console access
at least equivalent to the vnc stuff, not serial console.
I heart serial console
not sure why but the industry as a whole has lost an appreciation for serial console access
it was refreshing to see arpnetworks offered it
to a vps!
because it is straight ssh and I can plug my keys, I even get to setup conserver remotely to log the console of my vps systems
the ssh serial console was one of the first things i wanted to implement, and is one of the features i am most proud of, even 4 years later
i'm a command line guy, so if i can do something in a shell and not a browser, i prefer it; and i wanted to offer that to my customers
^++
wow, did I join as a customer in the first 1-2 years? somehow I thought it had been going for longer than that when I joined but hey, rock on, grow bigger, and make lots of mulah over your continued stability and features and pricing that I cannot compare in whole to anyone
toddf: yep, you were one of the first on this platform in 2009.  right after mike-burns and mhoran.  your help way back then was part of what made the serial console feature possible.  (i keep saying i get the best ideas and solutions from my own customers)
up_the_irons: new idea: more jquery in the terminals
wut
hmm
that makes me wonder how long I've been with arp
heh i have no idea how long i have been with arp either
jan 2011 it looks like for me
up_the_irons: new idea: give everything away for free! (you didn't say these had to be financially-sound ideas, did you?)
up_the_irons: new idea: charge brycec for all of our accounts! (that way you keep your revenue, and brycec gets the shaft, amirite?)
Jokes on you, phlux. It would bounce and everybody's service would be canceled, and up_the_irons would end up in the poor house.
brycec: phlux : LOL
^^ that'
^^ that's not a "no"
