I like whatever Servarica is using for their customer service chat. It has a live region (though it's a little bit chatty), the messages are in a table, and it makes a very obvious sound for new messages whether I'm in the window or not. I wish I had a dollar for every time I started a live chat, waited 5 minutes on hold, left the window to do something else, and completely forgot about it, only to find there's no notification sound when a new message arrives.
@simon How is Servarrica, actually?
I wanted to get one of their servers at one point because of the storage, but they seemed shady as shit.
No idea if I still need one though, I have a Hetzner storagebox by now, I'd have to compare prices and see if they're worth it.
@miki The storage servers are good for storage. Good luck running anything on them. They make great seedboxes, but BTSync falls over. Not sure how something like MinIO would perform. I'm finding them surprisingly good for their performance VPS plans.
@simon @miki I've been using them for a few years to host the Windows server for SBYW. I got an offer which is decent, 48.00 USD annually for 200 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM and 2 cores of Xeon I think, but if you want to upgrade from that the prices shoot up real fast, like 30 extra dollars for an extra 2 gigs of RAM fast. They also seem to have this problem where occasionally their network just completely shits the bed for up to about an hour at a time, and everything is slow and unreliable in that period. This happens every couple months or so.
@x0 @miki That's interesting. I've never actually noticed the network issues and have been using them more seriously to host stuff like TeamTalk. For anything besides storage, you want their unified plans, which are based on slices. Each slice is 125 GB / 1 core / 4 GB / 4 TB. And they're cheap. 8 slices is $14 USD. I'm concerned about the network issues you describe because I'm interested in moving Mastodon here to save some money, but I'm going to give it a try. If that fails, I'll buy a mini PC and run it out of my living room. $48/month for barely enough RAM from Vultr is just not justifiable.
Disclaimer (since I guess I need to say this): No TT Hub servers are hosted on Servarica.
