Not much pity for people not bothering to update.

@scottalanmiller

True, adding the whole virtualization aspect and container support might caused this. I genuine when testing it out didnt like the new theme or steering me away from being storage server into something else.

I agree, I think that FreeNAS feels like it is drifting now. Is it storage, is it a hypervisor? Any BHyve for normal users, really? The new interface looked cool, but failed to even run when I tested it. They are a tiny company with few resource trying to do way too much. The old FreeNAS product was bad enough, I know loads of places loses data or access to data either because FreeNAS itself was glitchy or because it failed the "front loaded engineering" design principle and left customers in a tight position leading to failure.

Here's the reply from Vultr support today:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our $2.50 'sandbox' plan. We are officially SOLD OUT of this extremely popular introductory offering. Please consider other VC2 sizes.

Why is this awesome plan sold out? This boils down to supply and demand. In order to maintain the high performance you've come to know and love at Vultr we limit the number of sandbox plans on each physical host node. This is to ensure the absolute best performance for our production-ready instances.

Will this inventory be replenished?

Yes. In the next 2-3 weeks we will bring additional sandbox capacity online. Please consider visiting/refreshing https://my.vultr.com/deploy periodically as it is possible this could happen sooner.

Thanks,

Joshua Brand

1.4GB of downloads for this update!!

I have imported all the critical VM's over with 0 issues. I only have like 3 left that aren't that big of a deal. Then I'm wiping my VMWare Host and rebuilding it from scratch and then taking my Synology NAS and redoing it's storage.

Yeah, looked it up. No bands. It's just the most advanced 3G signaling method.

So theoretically... Western Digital Laptops? lol

Does Toshiba still make laptops? They must, I've not seen or heard of them in so long I forgot. They must have shifted focus to other markets.
