'24/7 support' means ticket response in 48h · VPS Hosting

424 days, wow. That is the truth but it still burns when the front page says 24/7 in big letters and the terms say business hours in small ones. I have had decent luck with Leaseweb on their night shift but you pay for it. There is no free lunch with human SREs at 3am.

SWEdish sourdough is superior actually, we have rye tradition 500 years

Fika first then bake, never reverse

Contabo doubled my price at renewal, alternatives? · VPS Hosting

I'm on Hetzner since 2019. The price went up once, €2.49 to €2.98 for the old CX10, but they emailed six months ahead and offered to keep old price if I committed to annual. That's how you do it.

Your 99.1% is not fine. That is 6.5 hours downtime per month. You had 47 hours in six months. All between 08:00-18:00 CET.

I call fika on this. No öne fikas at 02:00 UTC. The öutages are when people wörk.

47 hours = 2.8% downtime. Not 0.9%.

Who hosts the repo

Using a typewriter for a week of work communication · Off Topic

SWEdish approach: we did this at my old job but for the FÖRM of it

SERver team had "analog friday" where all incidents got typed on the IBM and pinned to the wall. Hösting provider had outage? CLACK CLACK CLACK. Disk failure? CLACK. We even fika'd the results, would you believe it

Unpopular opinion: outage threads need mandatory proof · General Discussion

SWEdish pragmatism here haha no SERver admin without logs

BUT fika first then troubleshoot always

Mandatory proof would kill this forum dead hösting community need place for beginners too

Maybe two tag system: "outage-unverified" and "outage-confirmed" then user decide what to read
