so the amazon sales start (and i have no prime)
apparently free prime atm
o.O
oh
i didn't even realise merc2 was still in here :)
I forgot I'd wanted a Kindle until I pulled up Amazon today
Damn you, Amazon.
have an old fire hd7, had to put cyanogen on it though
heh i'm still waiting for something good brycec
I'm not. I just don't care.
I save more money by not spending anything :p
heh, i signed up to some site that e-mails me
so i don't have to pay too much attention at least.
i like my paperwhite a lot. hada nook but bn cust svc is horrible and they somehow broke my nook acct and couldnt fix it or move my purchases over to a new one
so i used calibre to remove drm and put my nook titles on my kindle
lame.
m0unds: which gen PW?
i think ive had it two years now
might just be one year though
looks like august 2014, based on email receipts for kindle books
heh, so not the 2015 3rd gen
I'm tempted by the Kindle Voyager which is the same guts as the 3rd gen PW, but with a slightly different body (shape, moved power button to the back), "buttons" for page turning, and the built-in light.
(3rd gen PW does not have any of those features)
mercutio: I wrote HE for a transit quote yesterday
acf: how come?
curiousity?
kind of
also looking for colo / vps / etc.. near Vancouver / Seattle area
yeah but you won't need enough bw to buy transit :)
well i don't think you would :)
no, definitely not
if I decided to do colo, how would I go about getting connectivity?
looking at this: http://www.apvio.net/colo-pricing.phtml
$65 / month for 1U, which seems reasonable
I kind of don't want to buy bandwidth from them though
more power too
hangon that's seattle
yea
apparently Vancouver is way too expensive, and Seattle is close enough anyway
yeh i thought vancouver would be expensive
how close is seattle?
2 and a half hour drive
according to Google Maps
ahh
Can confirm,have driven it.
do you think it would be practical to buy bandwidth from someone besides that colo reseller?
:Free Connectivity Setup (in facility cross-connect)
idk if that means just for them, or for anyone in the facility
nope
jsut think about it, if you were selling bandwidth to some random person wha tkind of minimum profit would you want
do you really think you could get bandwidth for $35 or something?
so why not pay $100/month somewhere that throws in bandwidth
hmm.. then I should probably look for a different colo provider
yeh
wasn't that one we found before about $100/month?
https://www.amanah.com/Network/
those guys?
they're in Toronto
oh
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1487169
it's cheap and seattle
that's really cheap
and has ntt, abovenet, peering
my route to there goes via he.net
but that may be peering.
5520 cpus aren't amazing not much ram
That's what she said!!
but the price is insanely low
yea.. I'm not looking for anything beefy
is downtime ok?
yes?
just not all the time :P
heh
i have no idea how reliable they are
but if reliability is important i'd do some monitoring first
i'd email them about the ipmi too
make sure it's behind vpn
ahh they do have transit via he.net too
they're also buying their ntt, abovenet through someone else (and have gtt too)
cnservers whoever they are
they are a "ddos scrubbing" provider
you've heard of them before?
whmcs ick
unfortunately
are they bad?
actually I don't know
erk apparently they'll block based on dmca alerts
even if faked
that just sounds annoying
you have to
according to the DCMA
why don't you just host with arp acf?
it's not that much further away than seattle.
even if faked?
i thought you had to pass it through to end user if they had a /29
mercutio: yea. I'm probably going to do that
mercutio: how can you tell if its faked?
gizmoguy: no idea
i'm reading reviews :/
if they don't follow proper procedure, etc..
i got something like dmca or something once
and it doesn't match nz requirements
yeah I love being in nz
get to throw everything out
fwiw acf_ i found gigabit transit for $1300/month
hardly anyone lists pricing
and that was available at that westin dc in seattle
as well as in los angeles somewhere, and one other place
HE quoted $500/month for gige
probably just going to go with arp
it's difficult to beat
well it's dual power, dual switch etc.
and isn't plauged with ddos attacks all the time.
s/plauged/plagued/
<mercutio> and isn't plagued with ddos attacks all the time.
also no cogent
:)
$500/month for gige is pretty good
but yeah it makes so much more sense sharing bandwidth as long as not congesting.
yea.. that's way too pricey for me
<.<
ahh i don't use ipv6
(Specifically I'd clogged ARP's v6 router doing transfer tests against mirrors.arp
hmm
how badly did it congest?
I maxed out the router
(I shared graphs at the time, etc)
but was there loss?
i mean maxing out isn't necessarily as bad as long as it doesn't impact other things too much
I don't recall
