Seller - should I sell VPS servers with DDR3 RAM?
Customer - should I buy VPS servers with DDR3 RAM?

Well, here's your poll. As a customer, would you buy VPSes with DDR3 RAM (obviously at a lower price point than DDR4) if that guaranteed you that you'd have lower pricing, on the present continuous RAMflation context?

Let's discuss.

Hey there and thanks for checking out our post!

Due to rule changes on LES, our double disk/bandwidth offers are no longer active. Sorry folks!

This promotion is temporary until a limited amount of slots are filled. The amount will adjust when you reach the end of the checkout.

did anyone try SS on the 512MB server, and your recommend to improve stability? Cuz if I can launch 100 websites on low memory it will be like $2.50 only each which is amazing (not for Woocommerce)

kinda surprised nobody is talking about WordPress stack scripts here I see only one 2019 topic

talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/336/anyone-tested-easyengine

This morning rajesh-s posted on Hacker News (HN) about Linus Torvalds opinion that "ECC absolutely matters."

The HN discussion was fascinating! All kinds of anecdotal and tech information about ECC and bit flips, their importance or lack of importance, relative costs, effects on hardware and software, influence from Intel and AMD marketing strategies, and use of ECC by various huge companies and in various kinds of equipment.

One HN comment by fortran77 stated that the rate of bit flips is about 1 per gigabyte per month.

gsvelto, a Mozilla engineer, posted in the HN discussion a link to his excellent rasdaemon tutorial.

Whoa! @Not_Oles, the "clueless administrator," had never heard of rasdaemon before! What's rasdaemon? As gsvelto said, "rasdaemon tools can be used to monitor ECC memory and report both correctable and uncorrectable memory error." The the initial "ras" in name "rasdaemon" stands for Reliablity, Availability and Serviceability (RAS).

I googled around a bit and checked Github for any rasdaemon problems with Proxmox. The weather seemed maybe pretty good. So I went ahead and installed rasdaemon on my server. Now maybe I can monitor ECC memory errors and also get those errors logged.

Here below is what the install looked like in case anybody is interested.

I had a fun day! I hope you did too! Greetings from Mexico! ??????️
