This is a nice idea, though the logging on LET was almost useless, lost stuff all the time, was difficult to find anything in even when it wasn't lost, etc. Maybe it's better here.

Hi Fran, nice new feature. I understand that backups have to be take hot because they are done automatically. But it would be great if snapshots could be done with the system shut down, to make sure it is quiescent. It's one less thing to go wron…

Excellent bass version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia": https://youtu.be/kGNbkSCvGI4?t=39 Music starts at 39 seconds. I put t=39 in the link but it seems to have gotten overwritten by the forum software.

Thing is, with a bit of persistence (flash sale) you can get a small kimsufi or the equivalent, for what those rpi colo or rental places are charging. Even the scaleway c1 wasn't that attractive, but I kept it around because there was ARM code I wa…

I've used gitit which is a bit heavyweight, but cool in that it uses git as the revision backend, so it can easily be a distributed wiki. For very lightweight but code control oriented, there is fossil. In between is mediawiki which is very widely…

I don't think they have any alternatives to offer, other than VPS. Do you mean something like a discount? Not that I noticed and I doubt it.
-
This gets discussed once in a while but it's really not worth it given the cheap conventional dedis out there. Scaleway used to have such a product (the C1, similar to a raspberry pi 2) that is now being EOL'd. I don't know if you can get them any…

Depending on the application, https://www.scaleway.com/en/c14-cold-storage/ might be interesting.

I had a similar issue (had an upcoming card expiration, and from previous experience I foresaw likely screwups with card payments after the renewal) a couple years ago. I opened a ticket with Hetzner's billing dept and they told me I could prepay a…

That is impressive geekbench for such a low priced server. Close to 3x my Hetzner 3rd gen i7, I think. I hope it holds up as the nodes get full. Now they just need some cheap storage to go with it. Hourly billing would also be great.
-
Did they have some kind of clickbait offer on LET where the offer turned out to be an xmas picture or something like that, but you only found out when you redeemed the coupon? Or was that someone else.
-
I got that email and apparently had an account with them, but I don't seem to have any services with them. So now I'm trying to figure out why I signed up for the account. Did they have some kind of promo? I see two signup emails, November 2017 a…

There is also the vcore vs pcore thing, plus the unpleasantness of non-EU users getting charged EU sales tax (unless there is a way out of that now). But 2TB of SSD is a lot, so the top model at 45€ is still fairly attractive for some use cases.

The new root servers use the Epyc 7702: https://www.netcup.de/vserver/ The 7702 and 7702P have 2.00 ghz base clock: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-7702

This sounds more like Hetzner's dedicated-cpu cloud instances.

I prefer small hosts because they are too overstretched trying to finish each day with fewer tickets than they started with, to go around looking for ways to exploit or monitor customer data. I'm far more scared of AWS, GCS, etc.

@MikePT ?

Meh, at this scale I tend to want either super cheap archive storage where I don't care at all about server cpu or iops (serial/network bps still matters), or else I want lots of cpu so I can do stuff locally with the data. A mid-price mid-cpu setu…

I don't run anything personally that cares whether there are 8gb or 16gb. Occasionally I need more than 8gb but in those cases 16gb tends to not be enough either. So I'm cool with 8gb though I'd probably take the disk upgrade. Anyone know if it's…

The graphics are individually nice. It's just that seeing one every time there is minor news gets to be a bit overload-ish, so scrolling this page shows it is mostly filled by them. That's just me though. And I'm sure your dev team is keeping bus…

Woah, this actually seems to be recurring (Ikoula is famous for 3 month clickbait prices) and there are some nice upgrades available, like upgrade to 3tb hdd for +€5/m. It also comes with an obsolete GPU (maybe still good for something), with a €7/…

Luks setup has an optional but desirable setting that causes it to write random data all over the disk when you initialize the disk. It is optional because it is a slow process, but you should use it because it conceals the amount of disk space you…

Nice that there's a new OS release, but can we go lighter on the graphics unless it's something really significant? Btw I thought a little more about the idea of an AX41 (or AX in general) cpu upgrade and it's quite interesting, especially since ma…

1 general beataround vps with personal and dev stuff and a small personal website, 1 vpn/znc, several storage vps, 1 shared hosting for static files, 2 dedis for storage/computation, several idlers.

(Quote) Yes, the use case is intensive computations which don't require the AX61's 4TB of NVMe disk or its 128GB of memory or maybe other nice things it comes with. So the hope is just to keep expenses down. In practice the AX61 is a good setup th…

(Quote) HGST is WD now. Oh well, we're another step closer to HDD's being historical.
-
Thanks, Katie. The AX61 seems like a well-balanced machine that's a good setup for many customers. Some of us are CPU junkies though, so it would be great if a Ryzen 3900 upgrade option (similar to disk upgrades) was available for the AX41. ;)

What does power end up costing per amp at either LV or Dallas? I still have some interest in this but have never really understood the economics. I know some EU datacenters are able to bill power by the KWH. I think that is rare in the US though.
-
(Quote) DDOS protection? (Quote) Jeez what a spammy post. And usually these days when someone says they need big HDD, they want 100s or 1000s of GB, not 30GB.
-
(Quote) I'll give it a try, but I suspect that the maximum is 32GB since that is the largest instance in the series. I think that is the case with the CX series but I could be mis-remembering. No idea about converting from one series to another, l…

(Quote) Oh! I didn't realize that was possible. What is the maximum amount of ram available with the CPX instances? Note this still doesn't decrease the number of VM's on the machine.
