Congrats to both Ant and Clouvider!

Haven't had crashing per se. Had some weird compute errors that looked to me like bad memory, so I opened a ticket and their techs swapped out the dimms. They say they do that on suspicion of errors. I guess they put them on a memory tester after…

(Quote) The attraction is way more cpu speed (13 cores I guess), some of the time. Also it would include 2TB of SSD instead of 1TB. And I'd want DE location. I think you are right though, ax41 may suit me better. My i7-3770 was a great deal when…

Interesting, some specs here: * https://business.kioxia.com/content/dam/kioxia/shared/business/ssd/doc/dSSD-XD5-1-product-brief.pdf * https://eshop.comm2ig.dk/kioxia-ssd-datacent-ssd-3840gb-nvme-pcie/cat-p/c/p1000632056 Kioxia is the new name for …

Would around 35 euro for 1/4 of the base machine plus whatever for HDD space (would need other users wanting that too I guess) be reasonable? Are you still thinking of doing a separate storage server? I'm a little bit scared to commit to this just…
-
32 slices = you're supplying yet another small cheap KVM product. There's tons of that already. I'd be interested in something 1/4 of such a machine with a way of cpu-bursting to the whole machine, especially with added HDD. I don't need any ipv4…

Data center QLC is a thing though: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12423/micron-readies-3d-qlc-nand-based-datacenter-ssds-for-nearline-storage It does have good hosting applications, i.e. for serving lots of static files. Much faster access than H…

A big attraction of a box like that is using all the cores to compute something fast, and that doesn't really fit in with multiple users with vm's. I guess it's still quite a good cpu and ssd to cost ratio as a VM box though. Also I'd like to know…
-
Wow, the AX101 is just NUTS. It's a real value leader. If someone here gets one, can they post the make/model of the SSD's? The one thing worrying me is that they might be the low-write-endurance QLC drives I've seen mentioned that are intended f…
-
WIth the 10 drive box use raid 6. Thing is with raid0 on 4 drives there is almost a guaranteed eventual fail losing the whole thing instead of just 1/4 of it. How active a server are you planning to make this? The disk bandwidth shouldn't really …
-
I'd be terrified of raid 0. Better no raid at all. You don't get that striping speedup, but at least if 1 drive fails the other 3 are intact. I'd be interested in somewhat less than half of an sx63. More like 1/8, but hmm maybe could think about…

Tbh, I usually just use email even for chat-like conversations. For more privacy and chattiness I have a self hosted nextcloud server with the talk/chat add-on.
-
Hetzner storage share is just nextcloud, I think. No idea about koofr. I have a self-hosted nextcloud on a vultr VM near me which isn't that cost effective, but it was convenient to set up and I wanted a nearby location because I use it for stuff …

I find this a lot more interesting: https://www.clockworkpi.com/devterm

That's a compact re ryzen box on special for $400. Nice alternative to a Mac mini or NUC but not in anything like the sbc space.
-
@jamesmd those are pi model 1B's? How do you plan to fix them? Do any work? They have full sized hdmi output right? I might be interested in buying one or two, if you're in the US (not sure). Purpose is to make a TV typewriter for my mom's TV a…
-
I don't see much point to a wifi version that will be more expensive. Just get an ESP32 module, or a pi zero W.
-
sparkfun.com had pi pico in stock last night, limit qty 100 which is a lot. It's cool that the pi foundation is doing this but I wonder if it brings new capabilities that weren't available with the ESP32 and e.g. the Longan Nano, at similar price p…
-
Wow this is neat. It's on the large side compared to some alternatives, but it is cheap and capacious and probably uses less power than a similar ESP32 board. Thanks for the alert. There is also of course the Raspberry Pi Zero at $5 that has been…
-
I think I'd go for a so-called high endurance sd card. They are made for stuff like dashcams and can supposedly withstand more write/erase cycles. There are also "industrial" cards that I guess are the same idea. Does Ikoula have anythi…
-
You all realize that keeping the 1gbit/s network saturated 24/7, it will still take about 3 weeks to fill the sx293's hard drives? I think I'd want the 10gbit add-on for it ;). I wonder if more SX61/62's will find their way into the auction pool. …
-
(Quote) That is ok, just have more users. I'd want around 5TB of storage and that doesn't seem reasonable on the AX51.
-
Interesting, though the SX292 had hardware raid and the SX293 does not (it is available at extra cost), so the SX292 is not a pure upgrade. The capability boost between the SX133 and SX293 is thus in some sense smaller than from the SX132 to the SX…

Nagios is old school but don't people still use it?
-
Thanks! $41.20 of cloudflare = somewhere in the area of 2TB a month? Between 1 and 4 anyway. That's a considerable amount of traffic I guess. BunnyCDN will be mostly .01/GB but some regions will cost more. BuyVM anycast might have been an inter…
-
(Quote) Thanks! Can you tell me the approximate breakdown of this? Particularly Cloudflare. I wouldn't want to pay anything for software (but that's just me) and staging can be done on a fairly crappy VPS unless you want to do load testing, in wh…
-
Thanks for this informative post and thread, Ant and everyone. Can I ask why this site's hosting costs $70/month? It's a small to medium web forum, right? I would have hoped it would fit in the low end vision, if not in one of the old tiny NAT vp…
-
I've heard only good things about BunnyCDN and I have some credit with them (which I can donate to LES if you do decide to switch to them), but why do you want to move away from CF? CF is doing some interesting things, like Workers. I've been want…
