I know about CCX but they are way more expensive than CX/CPX. I like the CPX idea. The main interest of dedicated cpu dedicated Epyc instances (CCPX?) would be very large ones, like with 1TB ram. I couldn't afford to use those myself, but having …

Each "core" is actually a hardware thread (vcore), ~ 50% of a physical core. So if the box is fully utilized then even without noisy neighbors you're doing good with 60% of what you'd see on an empty machine. I tested a CX51 (8 Intel vco…

Cpu contention already? I guess I'm not too surprised. But that geekbench score looked pretty good to me, given the relatively low ghz.
-
Nice, so that's what you were holding out on us! It will be interesting to see what cpu availability on these is like, once people start using them. I was hoping the 16 core model would have 64gb of ram (at higher cost if needed), since that would…

This is great! I might celebrate by cancelling a couple of Scaleway dedis that I have idling ;).
-
(Quote) This is way too suspicious, it's got to be around $1000 a month minimum. How could it possibly last? $400/m for a rack with 15 amp 120v is semi-believable (the 1gbps is suspicious) but that's nowhere near enough power for 42 servers. I ha…
-
Oh, I missed that the full rack offer is only in Dallas. Seriesn, yeah one way to do this (if the rack offer was in LV and the E3's were still available) would be to become a dedi host, but I had been imagining more like a shared colo rack. I can'…
-
I suppose I expected this for a long time and that's why I never cancelled C2 which is sitting around idling. It's nice of them to give this much notice. In fact it sounds like people who want them still have a day or two to spin them up. Or, if …

@Francisco do you have any full racks of those E3 servers left, and would you up for selling one "complete"? @Fiberhub-Billy would there be a way for a bunch of us here to split up a rack like that? We'd presumably need a /26 subnet and …
-
This is kind of interesting, especially if @Francisco still has servers for sale, that are already at Fiberhub LV.

(Quote) I haven't found this: the new registrar seems to pick up the info. I usually leave the old DNS running til after the transfer is complete and the new DNS is set up. It hasn't been an issue so far. The old registrar hasn't seemed to turn o…

I do use my domain registrar dns, but most of them don't have api's that are useful for letsencrypt dns authentication, which is required for wildcard certs.

New Google SRE book is likely to be interesting. I liked the old one. https://landing.google.com/sre/books/ Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22815453

Digital Ocean also has DNS. It does not seem to be distributed or anycast though. Also, most domain registrars have free DNS for domains that you register through them.

Certifications are mostly useless. Don't know about general purpose books: if there's a specific topic you find yourself wanting to know about, read a book about that topic.

Are the servers all in EU? That would be a minus for some of us, I'm sure.
-
OVH lists Frankfurt as a location, though I think it is actually Limburg, which is 100km away.
-
I see, the Netcup root servers use Xeon Gold 6140/6230, though I wonder how much real speed difference there is from the E5 v3/v4 for most apps. The cpu frequency is similar.
-
(Quote) It would also be cool to use 3970X to host a CX12, CX22, etc. Those would have the exact same specs as the CX11, CX21 etc. (same # of cores and same ram) but would be faster because of the 3970x's higher frequency cpu. They would be a bit …
-
Well, the complaint about this vps is slow cpu and i/o. That's the part that I was a bit surprised by. Though yeah, 10gb of ram etc. at 6.5e/m is hard to expect much from.
-
(Quote) No the idea is that you're sharing work that you did, but obviously you should use GPL licensing unless someone is paying you to do the work. Working for the direct benefit of one company doing support is not really different than cleaning …
-
I'm surprised people are complaining about this, since it got good reports on the other forum, and is comparably priced and spec'd to a similar Netcup product that is well regarded, I think. I might be confused though. 10GB of ram is a lot.
-
Don't work for some company for free, it's morally wrong. If you want to volunteer for something, do it for a FOSS project or a nonprofit or something. And if you're a developer, why the heck do you want to work on support? Hosting is no differen…

(Quote) Ya know, this might not be what you had in mind, but a CX61 (basically 2x a CX51 in all dimensions) hosted on a large Epyc or TR3970X would be pretty handy. (Quote) I'm glad to hear this ;)
-
(Quote) I hope everyone is staying safe. Over here (USA) there is suddenly a gigantic amount of unemployment since so many businesses have had to stop operations. There's less issue finding people, than having ways for them to work safely on physi…
-
@tehdartherer yes it does sound that way, if your objects can fit into your 100gb buffer zone and you don't mind the multiple moves. But if regular object storage is billed hourly, that seems to solve the issue. If I understand the blurb, you can …

(Quote) Nice! EPYC 7502P. Very "Enterprise" :). Your old Threadripper AX server is gone from the AX page, so hopefully a new one (based on 3970X?) is coming. That's probably of more interest for LET hosting.
