I have generally found dedicated servers to have less random downtime than VPS of any sort. VPS operators are always rebooting the host node for something, etc. So for your purposes, maybe try a small Kimsufi.

OVH used to have CEPH backed VPS (auto migration in case something happens to your host node) but I don't know if they have that by now. Maybe on the "public cloud" line. Hetzner has it in EU but for now not in US. Maybe that will arriv…

Is it EU citizen, or resident? I have a friend with an Irish passport who currently lives in the US. Could she get this? Don't know if she'd want it, but it's an idea.

Ah ok $1 is better. I'll check the client area. But, my sites have such low traffic that even $1 is probably more than my real usage. Also I wonder if Bunny could feasibly offer something like cloudflare workers someday. I've never used them but…
-
I guess check in your client area? I think mine has monthly minimums. That's one reason I haven't used it so far. If I use even a tiny amount I get charged $10 for that month. Gotta say that is annoying and it would be great if they got rid of t…

All nodes currently in Dallas? There was a thread a while back about a new location so I'm wondering if you've picked one yet. Will new Dallas orders get the faster disks?

(Quote) Katie, yeah, I understand how difficult that would be since it would vastly increase the amount of data center space you'd need, among other things. And it doesn't seem likely that you can keep the same costs. Storage servers, either somet…

That the don't bother with Intel in new deployments any more tells us something about Intel, lol.

(Quote) You might be looking at the DE prices, which include 18% VAT. Make sure to select your country at the top. If USA there is no VAT.
-
Woo hoo! Will you have dedicated servers or at least StorageBox in Virginia? The main trouble with cloud servers is that they are SSD-only including the attached block storage. I need around 5TB of mostly-cold storage these days, so SSD gets expe…

There's tons of benchmarks out there and apparently the thermals aren't as bad as I expected: https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/10/29/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-mini-review-benchmarks-and-thermal-performance/
-
The zero series never had ethernet, which is ok, it's a tiny embedded whatever. More scary is the original zero used a 1 or maybe it was 1.5 amp adapter and the zero 2 uses 2.5 amps. Overheating etc. I will stay with the original if possible.

(Quote) With a 100mbit network port that could be painful, and you're also at the price level of a Hetzner auction server with 4 cores and 2x 3tb drives. The KS's would be more attractive if they had gbit LAN ports even if the internet bandwith was…
-
(Quote) But OP was willing to take a VPS of similar spec. Anyway, the KS-1 hdd's must be so old by now as to be unreliable, besides being small. The ks-7 is much more attractive.
-
It's hard for me to understand wanting a ks-1 in this day and age.
-
500gb storage vps is no big deal these days. Or there are KS-07's in stock in a few locations: where do you want?
-
Anyone with updates about the state of HS itself? I don't have anything in Norway but still have credits from my RO servers that were shut down.
-
I guess RSS is like a read-only API and since there are readers for it, it is worthwhile. I wouldn't think of it as something obsolete. It went into relative disuse because evil sites like Facebook shut it down to stop people from bypassing ads an…

It would great if the site had an API.

Scaleway cold storage has very slow retrieval time (hours), like aws glacier.

I notice that yesterday, but not today, this was available in Warsaw: "Sale 2021 (XEON-SAT-1-32)","Intel Xeon D-1520 2.66 GHz+","32 GB DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz","4 x 2 TB SATA3", €20 setup, €22.99 monthly. I tried …
