    I've spent Black Friday thus far virtual stalking @vmhaus!

    We've spent all BF on tickets, ISOs, BGP & sadly 1 dispute. But overall we've enjoyed it. Still some hours left in the day and always Cyber Monday.

    There's always one! Buttery smooth this new @vmhaus and Bonsai is great! Let's see what else you can come up with for BF and CM :)

    webhost with 128MB ram, for 1 user? Can you even run apt or yum upgrade with something so little?
    VPN might work lol
    :D

    You need to be educated:

    I think you missed the point of the article. Debian 5 is irrelevant.

    64MB might just about load WordPress and MySQL with enough swap these days, but unless you're creating static content, you're not going to be doing a hell of a lot else with it.

    The article teaches you

    • how to think about a LEB
    • how to tune your box to use less memory
    • how to think about the parts of your stack and what you can do with them to make them more LEB-friendly

    That blog post is pretty much the founding document of LET.

    freevpus ran on a 96MB for a long time...I think it's a 192 now I heard. It's a full MyBB board with a significant amount of traffic. You can still do a lot with a small LEB.

    How the fuck did I just blow not only my remaining PayPal, but another #60 last night? I didn't pay for all that much shit!

    Where did you find porn sites that accept Paypal?

    What if the 1000 comment isn't from a provider?

    @maounique if you can convince Uncle to do something better than the last year I'm totally getting a new LPAR in Milan - 50% annually billing + recurring on 11-12-21 and I'll name my cat "Mao Salvatore" too

    Sorry :( no LPARs left for now, Uncle will setup servers in a few days (heard that 2 weeks ago first time) :P
    Unfortunately, we cannot cope with so many customers and products, expansion is a double-edge sword, we dont want to lower quality.

    After we finish rolling back some things that were not so popular, we may have breathing room to expand NL and Milano as we planned.

    The difference in creeping features that eat RAM like no tomorrow between 2009 and now, however, have not, which was kind of what I was alluding to.

    I'm not disputing that, but on the whole, the document above is no longer applicable for use beyond showing someone who may not know how to thin down- that it is still possible. However, it doesn't really teach the user enough to know how to thin down in 2017. I'm still installing *BSD and editing /etc/ttys to remove unnecessary getty processes.

    I'm just saying that using it as the "holy grail" really doesn't illustrate anything to the uninitated. A custom mysql config, a replacement shell. Meh, I say. Meh.

    Currently on a bit of a cleanup. Lots of stuff to do, we've had better reception from Black Friday than our beta when we gave you it all for free. Few bugs noticed and fixed. Cheers for all taking part. We ain't done yet

    I think it's hilarious I got an email from LEB with an offer that included ChicagoVPS, yet Chris wouldn't dare post an offer here because he knows he'd end up staggering away with a black eye and bleeding anus...

    It's pretty obvious that Zelasko doesn't give a flying fuck about the community. Why's he in charge of keeping the front page updated? Having it set static or even just redirected here would make more sense. There's shilling, there's not giving a shit, and then there's Matt.

    Pretty much this, it's tough as heck to get a 128mb box going with the latest updates and proper protection on it's own. I bet even fail2ban would make it OOM today. Ram was cheap, now everything gobbles.

    @vmhaus how many of those tickets have come in within the last 12 hours while BF was running? Must be a lot of fun seeing the ticket numbers grow too quickly lol.

    Also, you promised to fix CloudFlare for me personally last year. I am disappoint.

    Less than 75 comments 'til 1,000 and then, by law, all existing BF offers must be improved.
