For me, the missing feature is ability to access private networks. (Noting here, for the DO product manager reviewing the thread..!)
Can you elaborate on this? Just wondering what you mean because I have been using private networks and haven't really run into many issues.

My support issue was that I had a dead box and needed it to be available again. Their system thought it was up, but I could not reach it. There was no live support, just submit a ticket and pray. They need real-time support. I’m fine paying for it. Hell, bill me per minute, but I needed eyes in the issue. Instead of waiting for some unknown time for a support response, I deleted my stuff and rebuilt everything. If th…
This may be a dumb question but why would you put anything on a server at DO that you need 5 nines out of? DO is all about the price and mediocre tools and machine that you get for it. I use it for personal/fun stuff but I'd never put my business on it.

BuyVM's wiki has things in it like https://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/kvm#pagefileswap_disclaimer , which, without any numbers behind it would make me extremely uneasy to use the service. Other cheap hosts just put hard IO limits at the VM host level.
BuyVM is a team run by humans who do care about every customer. As long as you're doing something malicious-y (like crypto mining, exploit testing random websites, distributing malware or a phishing site, etc), they will work with you.
Is this an extension of the Russian Business Network, or did you miss a negation in there? :-)

I remember interviewing with DO back in late 2014 and it was nuts! The entire interview process took ~3 months and it was clear that they were defining the process as they went. The entire process was basically: 1. initial call with recruiter 2. homework project 3. call with engineer to discuss said homework project 4. two phone screens with engineers 5. onsite interview with 6 engineers Finally I had was at the fina…
Not to hijack this sub-thread, but just a general question: how does one deal with unethical 'homework projects'? I've had a case during an application where I was given a 'homework project' that seemed to me very much not like a theoretical scenario, but more like the company wanting me to do free work for an actual real-world issue they had. Have people had situations where you suspected the same? How do you deal w…
I felt this was good. I got paid and it was a fun challenge. It also obviously wasn't "actual work," but even if it was, I was getting paid, so why not?
I don't think it would have been out of the question to say I was too busy to dedicate 8 hours either, but in my case I had the time.
Overall it was an excellent experience.

Overall I don't think the total amount was excessive, or maybe just slightly. My experience has always been been technical phone screen or homework problem before onsite, but not both. The real issue was how chaotic the process was. I had started out talking to an engineer that had picked up my application, but was handed off to recruiter only after the homework portion was done (said recruiter even mentioned that th…
As a sysadmin, you probably have a number of areas of responsibility. Imagine a time in your career when you had the least amount of sleep, and still tried your hardest to keep everything together. Then you meet someone who gives you the feedback that they enjoyed talking to you, but they noticed that one of those areas is not quite as buttoned up as it should be. Presumably you take that feedback to heart and fix it…
I more wanted to emphasize my view as a bystander at a very hectic point of their growth, not actually complain about the experience. It was an interesting experience to me, not a negative one.
I have no hard feelings about it and I'm sure things got sorted out. I certainly have no negative views of any individual I dealt with.

Imagine a world where Section 230 doesn't exist. A mean corporation takes down your post, or bans you. What cause of action do you imagine you'd have that wouldn't be barred by 1A? By and large, 230 acts merely as a procedural fast-last to dismiss suits earlier than they'd otherwise be. But they'd ultimately be decided the same way on first amendment grounds.
You’re presenting a false dichotomy... 230 needs to be updated, not thrown out; 230 clearly has important aspects that must remain, and other aspects that are clearly being abused by big tech.

Before I ever paid DO a cent, I made significant use of a lot of their incredible documentation on setting up various servers, setting up your confide correctly, etc.
Gotta +1 that. Whenever I'm looking for a howto, I pray that there's a DO one already done. The quality (and brevity) is usually the best.

What were you going to call it? The competitor, was it DigitalOcean? (Or am I misunderstanding :-) )
EdgeWorkers (I work on Cloudflare Workers.) (But in my previous comment I totally missed that chrisweekly said "Cloudfront" and not "Cloudflare", lol.)

Okay, let's just strike the "otherwise objectionable" at the end of (c)(2)(A): What cause of action do you imagine you'd have that wouldn't be barred by 1A?

Are you mad about abuse@ emails on Whois lookups, too?
Those haven’t been used by the cancel culture mobs, so no. It seems that the WHOIS abuse process is unbiased and not rife with conflicts of interest.
