ok well i think he specifically says NOT to do that. it was in a ticket somewhere that i can't find -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 04:24:06 JST 7666 @phnt i'm running on a 3TB slab with a 425GB lvmcache. And yeah, it chokes due to what I believe are arbitary IOPS or storage bandwidth limits.
What I end up seeing is a complete drop-out of the storage for upwards of 15 seconds and then all the queued I/O flushes at once. rinse and repeat.
Better yet, if you don't use the storage for like a whole day, the iowait is basically nil. Then out of the blue, the issue comes back! -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 04:24:04 JST 7666 @phnt Here's what it looks like for me. sda is the slab, vda is the local disk. ALL I/O just drops occasionally.
I am so done with :francisco_intensifies: -

7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 01:58:51 JST 7666 @phnt I'm not even worried about data residency. Even though I cut checks for Francisco to the tune of $4,000 a year, I still expect this guy to show up and start poking his head around and go "This guy who is pushing like 600TB a month needs to pay up". His other business has strict bandwidth caps and getting more bandwidth is like, prohibitively expensive. -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 01:58:50 JST 7666 @phnt well my current services suck ass outside of the fat pipes so i'm just exiting anyway. for YEARS i have tried to have robust caching at the edge and get continually frustrated by shitty performance. I literally got francisco to make me a custom plan with more SSD space so I could lvmcache the garbage slabs.
no more. i blow $10k and francisco is gone, and i already decided to blow it. fuck it -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 01:57:56 JST 7666 @phnt Namecrane is a registrar too, which is super interesting. Most likely he is chasing the money because running services on TOP of his existing infra extracts way more revenue. Being a registrar, offering managed services, email hosting, reseller services, etc. All much higher margin than just straight compute, but arguably requires more elbow grease to get right, so with capital inflow from dumping BuyVM he's blowing right past the capital requirements to do all that now.
I still hate that he threw in the towel though. "Cloudzy AI". What a fucking name. -
7666 (7666@comp.lain.la)'s status on Saturday, 18-Jan-2025 01:57:26 JST 7666 i know it's not the acquisition being the cause of this, but man if it isn't a sign of things to come.
i did not want to spend my friday rebuilding 6TB of cache
i cannot WAIT to have my own fucking hardware -

Also all their plans have bandwidth caps that are laughable. I knew Francisco was a single point of failure but didn't really want to acknowledge it, but here we are. Time to remove another third party out of the equation and rack my own shit. Plus the performance boost of dedicated hardware is gonna be *nice*. Tired of the awful storage performance on BuyVM
