I can't even.
Taken from a spiteful website.
"How many VM's can I run on my host? The host has 64GB of ram and I want to run linux desktops on them and provide each guest with 2GB of ram, I'll allocate more if you tell me it's okay to do so."
"People will be using RDP to access these guests for the purposes of training, but I need to know how many VMs can my host run. How come no one is telling me what I want to hear?"

This topic is beyond levels of insane and the response to "liquidate everything and host these on a web hosting platform" is

@DustinB3403 That reasoning is a bit spurious. I'm curious about what kind of ISP has that huge of a termination fee, on top of multiple ones since evidently there are at least two since it'd be 80k per ISP.

I asked cox what the fee for termination would be - they told me the remaining contract term. not sure it's reasonable they could get it.. but they could try... unless teh contract says otherwise.

I once terminated an OC3 contract years ago, it was $10k but I just never paid it. So 80k per ISP, hmm.

$80K is easily the termination costs. Insanely foolish to be in that boat, but totally possible.
That's 5 years x 12 months, that's $1200/mo or something like that. Totally reasonable numbers.

@scottalanmiller Multiple ISPs though gets me. At any rate, holy cow, then again I ran out on my bill in the 90s, and the more I think about it, it may have $17k. Looks like I got a bargain, thanks NYNEX you shitshow of a company.

I think that he was trying to build a hosting company, and everyone wants a guarantee that you have two different ISPs.

@scottalanmiller The NYNEX OC3 I mentioned above, was over multiple links and they claimed that it was "redundant", but as you can imagine, if you were in the New York area in the 90s, it's NYNEX so it's easy to believe they'd say something like that.

I had similar "it's not really redundant" two carrier fiber issues in Scranton in the early 2000s.

@scottalanmiller The only thing dumber I've heard, at least from the phone company in the 90s, was when I was told that ISDN doesn't have an IP address, and no I don't mean in some sort of niche point to point frame relay stuff, I mean as in for piss poor Internet access. I did ask "well, how is it sending/receiving packets without an Internet Protocol address" and the guy just laughed and said "I don't know man, it just doesn't have an IP address!"

Because you have no idea how to run a business.

I can totally envision this. I work at an ILEC for 7 years. Some of those people don’t know anything except how to splice copper together.

So this conversation just happened.
Co-Worker: Is there anyway to know when an asset is expired? Like what is still in warranty etc?
Me: Yeah it goes by purchase date, if that isn't provided the system goes by creation date.
Co-Worker: I can't have that, we need to still use our excel spreadsheet!
Me: TO MYSELF F.... moron. . . put the information into the system for purchase date and you'll have a nice current and accurate expiry date for assets.
Co-Worker: walks away in a huff.
