The cloud thing is very beautiful...

…but if the one who manages it is a headless centaur (or directly there is no administration at all), when you inherit it you find things like that a daily snapshot is made of a 'disk' (EBS for Amazon) of 300GB and none of those snapshots have been deleted since 2009, considering that you pay for storage... :facepalm: :wall:

If it is clear that in the vineyard of the Lord you find everything... And some in order to get an unusual benefit... do everything :facepalm:

Well I don't know about the price of the Giga of storage, but it's definitely a good deal.:ugly:

15 Tb storing practically the same thing tens of times. And here I am juggling to fit everything on my disks…

Left-handed people, left-handed people everywhere… :facepalm:

Suffice it to say that I've reduced the monthly bill by around 60% I think that tells you everything :facepalm:
Although I know I won't get much out of it, at least I'll have the satisfaction of a job well done :wall:

[incrediboy]

what a mess they had set up there… the only thing that comes to mind is... LOFH!

[deeiivid]

Zenutrios everywhere. Impressive demonstration of workplace apathy.

if I told you… I have a few of those (haven't told you about the one where I was asked if CentOS ran under Windows?)
I've transformed 6 servers and 4 disk cabinets (more than half a rack) into 2 servers, one with a public IP and outside the network and another with a bunch of virtual machines (and because my 'cousins' wouldn't let me put a virtual machine in the DMZ), another €1000 or so saved per month...
When I finish this month I'll put up the October and November invoices so you can compare xDD

[Namiga]

Well, they could thank you for it... in these times, lowering the bills of fixed expenses by almost €1500... Damn.
And I who am satisfied with lowering the mobile expenses from 200 to 100 €

300 gigabytes a day since 2009 comes to about 400 terabytes? That on Amazon must cost about 50,000€ per month?

Count count…

[packosoft]

@kynes:

300 gigas al día desde 2009 sale a unos 400 teras? Eso en Amazon debe costar unos 50000€ al mes?

Cuenta cuenta…

Ya me haces dudar y ahora no tengo el dato delante, pero eran poco mas de 1000 snapshots y si no recuerdo mal sale como a 0.10€/GB, asi que te sobra un cero

[kynes]

@packosoft:

You're making me doubt and now I don't have the data in front of me, but it was just over 1000 snapshots and if I remember correctly it comes out to about 0.10€/GB, so you're missing a zero

30010000,10 comes out to 30000€ a month. Either I'm missing a couple of coffees, or my calculations are wrong.

I am beginning to understand the subtle difference between Macroeconomics and micro/my economy

@kynes:

30010000,10 gives me €30,000 a month. Either I need a couple more coffees, or my math is wrong.

okay, I understand now. Like the previous owner of the service, for 9 months he hadn't paid Amazon, so in order not to (overly) inflate an invoice that they wouldn't collect otherwise, they only billed the first 16TB, the rest went to Amazon's 'cold-storage' (Glacier) where you pay $0.01/GB in exchange for having access under request and not under demand, plus they didn't even bill it

well, I'm sorry to tell you that this is still microeconomics xDD. The day they fire me, I'll tell you about some good movies xDD

[Tecnho]

I think macroeconomics starts from 10 zeros XD, let's hope they don't kick you out, Packo, but you can count the movies XD

for people who seem, as is the case, to "not care about paying" until you've solved it from 30,000 to 50,000 euros, for me that's macroeconomics, another thing entirely is what they pay you :eoh:

for example a button
September invoice

October invoice (here I already touched it at the end of the month)

November invoice to this day

[cobito]

The company you work for must already be a mess for no one to have questioned the reason for that overspending.

[packosoft]

@cobito:

The company you work for must be pretty messed up for no one to have questioned the reason for that overspending.

You know what's funny? These invoices are for a web service from a startup that we've 'bought' that coincidentally has been in bankruptcy proceedings for the past 9 months. Of course, if they've done everything the same way, I'm not surprised at all by the financial situation…
