What is the actual application if you don't mind my asking, and what is the total amount of text to be searched? What size vm are you running in? I'm still perplexed that you have to find "Mr_Tom" from "to". Maybe you can inde…

LIKE 'XX%' should also be fast, because of the index, and there is sometimes a way to make an index on the reverse spelling of the string so that LIKE '%XX' is also fast. The slow one is LIKE '%X%'. But really if the stuff you are parsing out of t…

(Quote) Don't forget to take mhz into account. The Epyc 7502P and TR 3970X are both around €2k and both have 32 cores, but the TR 3970X has over 2x the passmark because of its higher clock speed (I don't understand that passmark ratio since the mhz…

(Quote) Power consumption yes; acquisition only in comparison to new Intel stuff. This is LES and providers here tend to use older equipment acquired on the used market for almost nothing. Epyc acquisition is also way more expensive per unit perfo…

It's nice to have a bit more per-core performance but it's also a matter of how much cpu headroom is available. A small VM on a 4-core E3 box can easily be swamped by just a few noisy neighbors, but if it's on a 12+ core Ryzen or Epyc or E5, unless…

(Quote) That is a crazy db setup. You shouldn't have to scan strings at query time. Process each string when you insert it into the database, extracting any id's from the string. Make a new table that combines the extracted id's with the id of the…

You mean your outgoing address? Spam filters use whatever probabilistic signals they can, and TLD is certainly one of them. Most mail coming from .biz is spam, so filters will weigh that in. You are probably best off with the traditional com/net/…

I guess so. I think the AX160 included some NVMe disks while with the AX161 you have to pay extra for those. I don't remember if the prices were similar. The 7502P is a lot faster from what I hear though. Neither one is a low end server and as s…

(Quote) I think that was the AX160 (EPYC 7401P) being cleared out.

Hetzner uses a lot of desktop cpus in custom enclosures, but they also have server cpus such as the Epyc. If you compare the EX line (i7 desktop cpus) with the PX line (Xeons whose bare cpu cost is roughly the same), the PX line is considerably mor…

It would be nice if the topic lines like "flips 504 views 40 comments 12 new Most recent by flips March 2" (current display of this thread) had a direct link to the most recent comment, so clicking "March 2" would go immediately …

(Quote) Is Dense Epyc a specific product / technology? I couldn't find anything with web search. It is definitely possible to get current-gen Epyc servers for data centers. E.g., the Hetzner AX161 uses the Epyc 7502P.
-
(Quote) If you can offer it on Hetzner Cloud I'll be happy to try it for an hour ;). Scaleway has the older Epyc 7402P on their hourly cloud (bare metal even) and I might give that a try sometime too, but it's less interesting than the new Epycs.
-
(Quote) Hetzner seems to keep it almost secret that you can upgrade that machine all the way to 1TB, by adding 64GB modules per here: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Root_Server_Hardware/en#RAM :)

The $3 is no big deal per se, but I figure if you're going to offer DA at some point, it's better for new customers to start out with it instead of starting with cpanel and switching later.
-
Fran, any news about DA web hosting on buyshared? Right now there's still only cpanel, I think. I may have missed something though.
-
Meh, can't edit the above any more: I got confused, the 7502P costs a little more than the 3970X does (around 2200 USD vs 2000 USD, I think). The 3990X is much more, 3900 USD ("$1 per X") and is only worth it for some specific workloads.
-
Whoa, I didn't notice this before: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161 There's now an Epyc Rome (32 core, EPYC 7502P) server! Decent pricing at €119/m with 128GB ram though there is the usual reviled €119 setup fee, and there's no s…
-
I think Scaleway (France) has some. They are 1st generation Epyc (Naples), less speedy than the current Rome series, but they satisfy the criterion of not being from Intel.
-
Those E3 boxes are kind of tempting: any idea if it's feasible to colo one in Fiberhub? And can the enclosures hold some HDD's?
-
(Quote) A pity. I'd have thought this would have been just the thing: http://www.batteriesareus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10438 ;-)

Sharding (splitting a single big dataset across multiple servers) and replication (maintaining multiple copies of a dataset for HA) are completely separate things. MySQL and Mongo both had better replication features than Postgresql (PG) did, as of…
-
(Quote) I've done it, and there are definitely serious deployments around, though I agree with you that Mongo was always overhyped and people have caught onto it more by now. I still use it for a few things. SQL users now tend to do things like pu…
-
Is strapi something that uses tb's of data? Mongo is easy to get started with (document db instead of relational) and has an easy replication setup (as does cassandra), plus it's very fast in unsafe mode, but I'd agree to stay away from it for seri…
-
Will it still be a "slice" setup where each VM gets a fixed amount of memory and proportionate amount of dedicated CPU? How much ram will be in a node? Any chance of offering larger local disk allocations post-migration, maybe at extra c…
-
Wow, some of these are pretty good. D-1521 with 16GB ECC ram and 4x4TB disks for €40 or $48/month at BHS is better than anything I remember in North America from earlier. Or E5-1230v5 with 32GB ECC and same 4x4TB for €50 or $60/month also pretty g…
-
Are you using ECC ram with the Ryzens? Some mobos support it, others don't. For high clock and lots of cores, of course there is also threadripper.

I got a response from Jackery: you can't use their box as a UPS as you have to press the power switch to switch from passthrough to battery power. Oh well. I'm still unclear on what's wrong with using a AGM or gel or other deep cycle SLA battery i…
