How much space do you want? Would it be just you and me? I have a 2x3tb dedi now that I'd want to cancel, but I do sometimes use it for computing. Mostly idle, but occasionally a long computation (hours to days) on all 4 cores. Would that get in…

(Quote) Hmm, I have some interest in that. What do you have in mind?

What is this thing about Turkey? I see some amazing offers in Hetzner auction now, even at the relatively low end. Like Intel Xeon E3-1271V3, 32GB ECC ram, and 4x10TB enterprise drives in Helsinki for €42.70/month. I'm paying around €28 for a non…

That is an amazing colo offer. 3 amps is 262 KWH/month if my math is right, so that's about $.23/KWH counting zero for the rack space and network. I'd worry about them trying to jack up the price after a while. I do think for a 12 drive dual cpu …

(Quote) I can understand that auction and dedi servers directly use electricity, while things like domain registration presumably don't. What about 1) storage box, and 2) cloud servers? Thanks. Re payments: I'd be ok with quarterly billing where …

This is just for new signups right? Most of us already have DO accounts by now.
-
Any idea how much the color space itself will cost? I'm having redouble seeing it much under $100/m (2 amps) so that's $1/tb right there.
-
I've been doing my long running computations on my BHS (Canada) server instead of Hetzner (DE), just to give the DE side a break with the ridiculous energy costs (gas shortage etc). BHS is wisely right next to Quebec Hydro as I understand it.

(Quote) Do you mean monthly? Idk how the economics works out but this storage is imagined as pure cold backups, I think. So there's not really a way to use bw=3x storage for the intended purpose and even 2x seems hard. For colo'ing something an L…

I haven't been following happenings in HD costs but this impressed me: https://www.newegg.com/red-plus-wd120efbx-12tb/p/N82E16822234466 WD Red 12TB drives for $220 minus a $40 promo code = $180, so $15/T.B (T.B separated by a period is my abbrevia…

(Quote) StorageBox is monthly and is about $2/TB. The SX dedi line is a little bit out of whack starting at €1.44/TB/m for raw storage, but the last refresh was in early 2021, right in the middle of the Chia lunacy iirc. So maybe another refresh i…
-
Hmm, maybe. It doesn't have to be vps: borg or rsync is fine. I don't see a need for ip addresses, especially v4. v6-only or shared v4 is fine for this type of thing. Raid level should not be 5. raid-6 or zfs or (depending on how many drives) s…

(Quote) That worked for me a couple of years ago. I can't promise that it will still work.
-
(Quote) I have done that. I just opened a billing ticket and asked them to charge $xxx to my card. I believe you can choose quarterly, semi-annual, or annual billing through the client area as well. What none of these let you do is let you leave …
-
(Quote) People don't want to sign up for something "free" and then get a surprise charge for it because they didn't use it exactly the way the fine print said. Like maybe it's only free when there is a full moon on a Tuesday. Or in this …

Oh I figured out what happened, the IP address on my server changed. Updating DNS let me log into it and it appears intact. Weirdly, trying to change the root password through the control panel failed. The ssh host key also changed, which is also…
-
Nice, SJC2005 is back up. My VM there responds to pings, but ssh reports that the host key has changed, and my ssh key logins don't work. I tried changing the root password through the client area but between the different retries I now seem to be…
-
Anyone know if CC Buffalo is on some IP blacklists? I have trouble reaching my server there from Comcast where I am right now, but it works fine from just about everywhere else. One person has been able to reproduce the issue from another location…
-
I just don't see it, €10/m just isn't attractive in this day and age. The alternative to paying €60 for 2 years isn't €10/m, it's any number of other possibilities such as Servarica's own ipv6 plan which is about US$ 2.50/m with 1TB disk (see Oppos…
-
(Quote) If DC remote hands can't press a button then maybe that location isn't working out.
-
(Quote) It's also the 2 years up front. It would be more interesting month to month, or quarterly or even per 6 months. Otherwise it's a bit scary: am I mistaken or is mxmla a new provider? Having seen a few stalwart LES and LET providers collaps…
-
I'm ok with ipv6 only but pricing is awkward. Too low to be sustainable for seeders who want heavy iops and network. Too high to be attractive for hoarders who sit on piles of cold archives with little outbound traffic.
-
(Quote) Ah I see, well I have about a zillion idle VPS so I'll just move the site to one of them. Thanks for the explanation. I'm losing millions!!!! Well not really, heh.
-
(Quote) It is pretty good but it's not like having an 80 core Ryzen if that's what you are thinking. It's maybe about like a 40 core Ryzen. For around the same price you can get two 16 core Ryzen boxes from Hetzner so unless you need everything on…
-
Interesting, let's see how it goes. They had ARM dedis before using Hardkernel boards if I remember, but those were later phased out. Interesting that FI is the only location available. I guess that is because electricity costs in DE are through …
-
Looks like my vpsshared site is down, not responding to pings. It's a super low traffic personal site, so I'll survive, but it sounds like things are probably backlogged there.
-
So far no change on mine, unreachable right now, "node is locked" in client area an hour or so ago.
-
Thanks @Virmach and much sympathy. Maybe you can bring on someone to help with this stuff. I guess I'll just have to wait for the non-Ryzen node to be sorted. My Ryzen VM is reachable and responds on port 22, but the ssh host key changed and I ca…
-
* I have an older SJC VM that rebooted this morning, stayed up for a while, but has been down most of the day with billing panel saying "the node is currently locked". This VPS is not on a Ryzen node unless it has been migrated (I haven't…
-
I can help out with this if necessary. I modded at LET for a while, as you might remember. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.
-
Dropping the ipv4 from a cloud vm saves only 0.6 euro/month? Meh, I guess v4 addresses aren't that scarce after all, or else Hetzner doesn't want people to release too many. I notice the main /cloud page says "INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE STARTING …
-
I got two emails telling me about the ryzen migrate option. I guess that one of them is for my non-ryzen KVM currently running in SJC. I think I'll wait to migrate that one until the SJC Ryzens are declared stable and working. I'm wondering about…
-
SJCZ2005 is still waiting on new network hardware or something right? It actually seems to be working fine for me right now, though it rebooted about 2 weeks ago. But I don't have any real monitoring watching it.

(Quote) At least 20-25/hour. Hopefully more, I don't really follow this market. But the # originally mentioned was ridiculous. @Mason can you let this guy answer a few LES tickets or something? @Neoon ? Is @Not_Oles still running metal labs?
