Comments

  • Same CPU as my Terrahost dedi too, perfect. I’ll give it a proper going over tomorrow but this looks like a winner so long as the disk aren’t appalling.

    @Hxxx I owe you beer or two.

  • I mean in your budget you can have like two of those!

  • @Nekki did they charge you VAT? Oneprovider just leave it so wondering how Ikoula do things

    It’s tempting as that is, I shall resist.

    If anything I’d retain the Terrahost server and ditch WalkerServers.

    It says they do, but they didn’t for me, but that’s likely because I live in post-Brexit Britain.

  • Disks are 7 year old WD Se’s, no errors logged in SMART.

  • Having a bit of a play with the API and christ it's certainly _eclectic _- no tokens or anything, just plain username/password auth that then has to be RSAd with iKoula's key - even though it's over SSL

    Suspect unless anyone much smarter than me has made a library, this is going to stay as a "there if you desperately need it" rather than a full function

    Xeon quad I'm afraid - 4TB, 16GB in Paris via oneprovider

    I'm definitely ditching one, getting everything I need for €18 is FAR too appealing.

    Not had much time with it so far, seems OK, will run my usual setup tonight then put it through it's paces over the weekend, Seems fine for now, really just the network I want to have a good look at, so we'll how it copes with 2.5TB of inbound data.

    "A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)

  • Not enough storage and no iGPU as far as I can see, but thank you for bringing it to my attention.

    Anecdotally, Ikoula's network seems a bit iffy. Remote terminal responses randomly take seconds to come back. Video via remote desktop has noticeable tearing and jumps. I'll do proper investigation over the weekend as I migrate my workload.
