http://www.linode.com/faq.cfm#how-am-i-billed "This will issue a pro-rated credit to your account" It's not per hour billing as such, but if you spin up Linodes and cancel about X hours/days you do get the leftover fees prorated against y

I wish Digital Ocean supported IPv6.

Wonder how sustainable Digital Ocean's pricing is in the longer term.

Sounds like you would be better picking up a decent transit locally to you with a good blend of upstreams.

by josephb 14y ago
No. Linode use IP space provided by the upstream they use at each location.

This article was posted in response to the outage in April 2011, but still the learnings are worth repeating.

LastPass don't store your passwords per se. Your passwords are SHA256 hashed locally. I love their system, but I think LastPass don't do a good enough job of explaining the security behind the system to those who are a bit more skeptical.

Yes the notes in the original pastebin post kind of indicated it was an issue with a "customer support" control panel, maybe it's just another method or area using the Linode Manager. I just wish they posted a little more, it feels vague.

Thanks for this clue. I've been bashing my head trying to work out why my adwords account recently got suspended. I haven't used it in 4 years, however one of the domains I was advertising is still mine, but just goes to an error page now.

NameCheap has been great for me, for SSL certificates and domains.

From the article: > Linode http://linode.com - expensive, no IPV6, really fast network @ 11.9 Mbps Actually Linode have IPv6 support in 5 of their 6 locations :-)

Are you saying that bandwidth prices that you pay in the market aren't reflective of the actual costs to the provider?

by josephb 15y ago
They will only light it up as it's purchased, which leads to supply / demand / pricing. The cost of lighting it up front is prohibitive and pointless to some degree as it depends on what the cables customers will need. That being said, anot

It's pretty likely that AU will have more expensive pricing than most places. Amazon doesn't enter a market and ignore the cost base that applies to everyone in the market place.

by josephb 15y ago
That completely depends on your ISP and how they run their network. Decent providers should be directly connected into the right asian places.

Yes, dns for www is broken. ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.robohash.org. 10800 IN CNAME robohash.com.robohash.org. Just need to fix that little bit :-) Great site BTW, love it.

Waiting for them to support IPv6. That will be fun..

Yes the iPad is still without a flash viewer. The recently released Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 will stream to iOS devices by delivering an HTML5 rendering from my understanding of their press release.

Nice tip on runbox.com. I've been compiling a list of places that I could move to and use my own domain. So far I had: lavabit.com fastmail.fm zoho.com domains.live.com Might give them all a go and report back in a Jekyll created blog post

> It's strange syntax if you take something seriously. It did feel like some sort of jibe, and to date they haven't mentioned much about coming IPv6 support. Either way, their post could have done without it IMHO.

This is how I use twitter! Lists are very useful if you follow are large number of people. Create a few smaller lists of the things you really want to see or that are important. I created a list for the services I use, I check it once a day

It shows that Aurora are being bent over a barrel by their suppliers data rates. Negligent for not securing their meters and SIM cards better in the first place. Do we really believe they didn't negotiate the bill down with their supplier w
