Well, it was this Z-Wave power control thing. When it's connected inline, it causes a buzzing through what I assume is the speaker.

How annoying that I swapped everything except the outlet it was plugged into. It was too loud at VCFMW to hear that it wasn't buzzing.

I've been getting an annoying buzzing from my Mac Plus BBS server for the past few weeks and it sounded like a bad flyback, so I replaced it but it didn't fix the problem. I just swapped CRTs, analog boards, and the logic board but it still buzzed. Any guesses what it was?

My networking setup wasn't working here because the 10baseT DaynaPort ethernet adapters wouldn't negotiate with stuff I brought, so luckily someone was selling this janky old VolksNet 10baseT hub that made everything work to get

Vultr finally resolved the problem this morning, 49 hours after I initially reported it.

"We found and issue on one of the upstream switches that had a failing process. We have corrected the issue and now I see no more errors accumulating."

The only way I can get them to respond at all is to open a new ticket each time (I now have 3 open). Their only response beyond "we are currently working on your ticket" is this gem, telling me I'm SOL because it's the weekend (!)

Two of Pushover's @Vultr@twitter.com bare metal servers in their Seattle POP have been essentially down for going on 16 hours now due to ~60% packet loss on their network. They haven't provided any updates to my ticket or updated their network status page to reflect any outage. \
