Latency, VPN and SL
bigmoe Whitfield replied to Anna Nova's topic in General Second Life Tech Discussion
that big body of water you are shooting the signal thru, even if you have an exit node, you still will continue to get ping and ms timings higher than not. but I found using a vpn with SL, is like you said hit or miss, it's not something I use with SL after all now, because even knowing I'm close to their DC, I still would get routed wildly at times and drive the ping high which caused chat lag and double chats.- 1 reply

milk rings and red laser pointers and maybe some canadian cat nip (best stuff) might help.

it's still visible on lsl calls and there are other ways of getting the information even if you hide it, there are bots that can get any information.

multiple region ownership question
bigmoe Whitfield replied to DontHasselTheHoff's topic in General Discussion
you pay 175 a month per region, that's not multiple, that is 1 region (sim) if you had 2, you would be paying for each one each month, even if they have the same payment date. -
No, you can not. lsl has a few functions for calling of the information too, so even if you could hide it, the system could pull it and give people the information that way.

Okay let me chim in here, I own a webhosting company and still have physical hardware presence in data centers, with a few servers running on aws too. my costs Cabinet 300 usd monthly rental hardware, I have 6 dell poweredge-r740 sitting in the rack right now. that's about 9k worth of hardware. I have to pay for power, so that's 0.0014 center per kwh. I pay close to 300 usd a month in power too. BackHaul from the provider supplying the cabinet with internets, using their switch, is 150 a month for unmetered (which just changed, so no more 50 usd over each month) Then I am paying for hands on support once a month for the servers, the data center handles that and helps with reboots and such if I need it or to install updates with putting a drive or usb thumb drive into the physical machines. that's 75 a month. SO I have 1500 base clients, and another 1500 on aws, aws it's weird pricing and not a flat fee, so I pay I think 200 a monthish? maybe more, I have to check, it comes out of the pay I make on the physical side, now with 1500 clients, some with many many multiple sites, I bring in a little over 1200 usd a month. SO I'm putting out 725+ usd a month and only bringing in 1200 usd. so 475 a month, so that's not including local and state fee's and the 2 people I employee 1 day a week to handle tickets, I'm way into the negative, so if I cut prices, what would happen to me? I would be shelling out more money from my own pocket to survive, at that rate I would maybe have a month at the most I could afford it? maybe? Thing is people really need to understand if we put the platform in jeopardy with cutting massive land costs, we will lose SL as we know it.

We know times are tough and we know you have had to set aside and keep your people at home during this pandemic, but thank you, thank you so much for keeping the grid alive for us to use and have fun with and to socialize with, I'm currently stuck working as an "essential worker" so my risks of getting sick are high up there with no paid sick leave and no hazard pay, but when I do get sick, SL will be here for me so I will be able to continue having some hope and happiness in my life. you rule LL!.

I try, but I know that's how it typically ends up, I'll feel defeated in a bit.

I'm the kind of person to try and help them understand, I think they have ZERO idea and are just upset and causing a riot in the forums right now.

oh oh I recognize those pictures!, they had some issues with language and not understanding you cant blast your profile with porn and kept doing it, now they do not show up in search, and now have taken to the forum it seems, bad way of trying to get anyone to listen to them at this point.

Would you date your avatar?

No, he's cute and all, but he's just not my type or gender for that matter. -
Better Frame Rate: that's not going to happen in the long run, user created content is unoptimized, sorry but it's the nature of SL. Lower Sim Prices: LL can only do so much before it hit's their bottom line, it's not cheap and it never will be cheap, Lower the prices go , the more people go nuts and start buying, which in turns means more hardware, more bandwidth, more hands on support, things that will take anything they earn and make them have to throw it right back into hardware and such, it's a no win situation on this one. Real First Person Mode: Not sure I understand this one at all. Xbox one controller support: I use a wired usb xbox controller and it's supported, you just have to set it up, as SL is a keyboard and mouse interface, just like most other mmorpgersthings.

Not the first time I've seen this. I think it's mostly confusion because of the written language barrier. -

I know, I was helping to explain what things were being thrown around as best as I could in a manner that seemed helpful -

I would have no idea, I am not Linden Lab employee's I am just a user just like you, Only LL will have that information. Just keep checking you're email address and spam folders for information about the account that's locked out.
