Unfortunately, while performing scheduled maintenance on the core power busses at our primary Chicago datacenter, an unplanned facility-wide outage occurred 08/23/2020 at approximately 04:00UTC. Power has been restored but bare metal and VPS leases will need to be restarted.
This would put us out of business. We will not compromise on the security and safety of our systems and be forced put our customer's valuable data at risk of theft or other compromise.
This is extremely serious. If passed into law, Intel, AMD and others would be forced to use the technologies they have already deployed (ME, PSP, TrustZone, etc.) to officially backdoor their products and permanently subvert security on most computers. https://t.co/yJ1SZZzDVI
Whether you just need basic public facing cloud, or need more power to analyze data with AMD or NVIDIA GPUs, we will be happy to do our part to assist during this crisis. Email [email protected] if you want to take us up on this offer!
We are offering free server capacity via our platform to any essential medical service handling #COVID19 that is impacted by cyberattack or similar technological disruption. Our #OpenPOWER servers run Linux, are backdoor-free, and keep your organization in control at all times!
@Telekom_hilft We are still showing the same fault: https://t.co/2nNxZizpWY โฆ "Network not in table". HE looking glass and other IPv6 providers show connectivity and routing. What is the status?
@Telekom_hilft Your RIPE NOC contact is invalid, and your IPv6 route tables inexplicably lack an entry for our ARIN+IRR-registered 2602:fe3d::/36 block (announced from AS46246). Our IPv4 blocks from the same ASN are present in your routing tables. Please fix ASAP!
We've readjusted our static IP pricing to better suit the needs of our micro VPS users...check out the low rates at https://t.co/dXnen08RuF and lease /your/ #OpenPOWER#POWER9 pay-as-you-go VPS today! ๐
We've completed a one-time static IP move to a new scope for the oldest VPS accounts in our system. This will allow us to provide higher uptime for these VPS leases, but will require that you reconfigure your static IP(s) to the new prefix and gateway shown in your account.
@kylerankin We'd be happy to donate some of our spare cloud capacity to at least mirroring the Linux Journal archives -- it's the least we can do considering our entire infrastructure is built on Linux and libre software.
@kylerankin For what it's worth, we agree with your overall assessment of libre software especially on the desktop. Our group of companies dogfoods our own products and software -- all of our/@RaptorEng/ @RaptorCompSys's desktops (development and otherwise) are Linux based; it can be done!

@mroach@RaptorCompSys We may need to revamp some of the advertising on the main page -- the service was originally built around VPS, then we added dedicated systems and may have hit those a bit too hard. Take a look at https://t.co/EbbA0lkrMi , but where it mentions amd64 substitute ppc64[el].
Dedicated leases starting at just $250/mo. for #POWER9#OpenPOWER hardware? That's a deal you won't find elsewhere! Pick up access to your very own leased POWER9 machine today at https://t.co/q6w4BaGujL !
FYI if you're currently using a 108.178.208.0/24 static IP on our service, we're offering a discount on the monthly static IP lease if you are willing to move to our new 192.150.47.0/24 block. Contact [email protected] for more information! ๐
@farbenstau@osuosl@RaptorCompSys@hughhalf @OpenPOWERorg If you need another dedicated box, we can get you access to one as a sponsor as well. Our earlier supply/demand mismatch is slowly being alleviated and we could set something up pretty quick for you!
@KarelGardas Yes, very clear. We would implement the latter according to our standard policy of not allowing weak / broken cryptography on "secure" links, meaning the services would become inaccessible from within Australia.
Try a secure #POWER9 VPS or dedicated box, safely out of reach of bad Australian #aabill legislation. Open source down to the hardware ring level, no place for backdoors to hide. Also check out #FlexVer for provably secure computing on our platforms!
@KarelGardas We have no staff, equipment, or other actual presence in Australia where we might fall under any kind of Australian jurisdiction. The same goes for China, North Korea, and other repressive regimes. If we received a TCN, it would be ignored, or at worst service to Oz would stop.
