(Quote) How about adding NetBSD and OpenBSD? :) I need to go look at your site. I see that your sig contains the magic words, "Dedicated Servers."

(Quote) I trust the provider 100%. The provider says it's his least busy Node. Maybe there might be nobody else one it, although the provider didn't say that expressly. Compared with their Nodes, I often have seen reduced disk performance on Qemu V…

The provider of this very nice VPS asked me to retest with RAM doubled to 4 GB. The short answer seems to be that increasing the RAM doesn't help. Even with 4 GB RAM, there still is a lot of I/O wait. "very nice VPS" is not sarcasm. It re…

I wanted to see whether another file I/O program would show I/O wait like sha256sum. So, just for some quick fun, I ran a yabs, which calls fio. I ran vmstat while the Yabs was running. Note that the interval for this vmstat was 6 seconds instead of…

I added some swap to the Ryzen KVM VPS. root@Ryzen-2-vCore-VPS:~# cd /root@Ryzen-2-vCore-VPS:/# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=41943044194304+0 records in4194304+0 records out4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB, 4.0 GiB) copied, 7.20403 s, 596 MB/…

Hey @FrankCastle! This post looks great! Thank you so much! I want to see offers from Providers who support BSD. Yes on BSD VPSes, but I also do know someone who likes dedis and would love to spend on a great BSD dedi deal! (Spoiler)

(Quote) Because hobbyists (like me) focus on the equipment, but professionals (like you) focus on the results. As a hobbyist, I love the old style command line terminal -- all green text, no color, line oriented, ed editor. Probably no professional…

From the OP: (Quote) Now, on the Ryzen 2 vCore VPS, using dd to increase block size for sha256sum. * First run (Quote) This looks enough faster than the E3 Dedi. :) * Second run (Quote) But this one is almost twice as long. And not much faster …

(Quote) Okay, got it from your saying that the percentages are of total CPU time and thus need to be doubled because there are two CPUs. Thank you!
-
(Quote) The numbers in the I/O wait ("wa") second-to-last column are mostly in the twenties. So, why do you say "half?" Shouldn't we say "spending a quarter of the time waiting for I/O?" Also, is there something about …

@tmntwitw @cmeerw I just want to say that I really appreciate you guys commenting here and on others of my threads, I need to learn more, and comments from you guys and others like you are super helpful to me. So thanks again! Much appreciated! Than…

(Quote) @SharedGrid Maybe it might be easier just to go directly from FOSSBilling to the libvirt API? It seems that virsh is a tool to use the libvirt API from the command line and that BashVM is a tool to simplify virsh syntax. (Quote) Some people…

@cmeerw Wow! Thanks for introducing me to GNU time and vmstat! What follows might be the output you requested. I have to study up a lot to understand the output. If you want something more or something different, please let me know. Thanks again for…

(Quote) An enticing answer! (Quote) Here's a guess: consistently 11 seconds. I'm surprised that the variation under virtualization is so high! All the way from 11 seconds to 35 seconds for the same job? And, I really don't think the Node is overso…
-
The sha256sum -c is a CPU intensive task. So is the Geekbench 6 test. For whatever it is worth, the Geekbench 6 test doesn't seem to show as much variation as the sha256sum -c task. chronos@penguin:~/servers/Ryzen-2-vCore-VPS$ grep Single yabs*yabs…

(Quote) Another excellent point that I completely missed! The executables could be different or could be compiled with different optimizations. :star:
-
Just now remembering that the E3 is running ext4 with LVM, whereas the Ryzen is running xfs. I haven't yet studied up on the effect of these filesystem differences. Ideas, please?
-
@sh97 Two additional ideas in response to your kind suggestion about RAM: * I could rerun the tests with a smaller file, say 1 GB. * I could add a swap file to the VPS and see if the numbers change.
-
@sh97 Interesting guess! I completely missed that possibility! Notice, though, that the top result for Ryzen shows (Quote) Since 191.6 MiB is free during the sha256sum -c execution, I am guessing that the process might not be memory constrained. B…

(Quote) Hi @havoc! I appreciate your letting me know! Thank you! FWIW, my previously installed eliben/gemini-cli continues to work well. I don't use it every day, but I do use it every few days. It seems to still work with my previous API key uncha…

(Quote) Nice to meet you! Thanks for volunteering! May I please ask, what do you propose as the next step? Thanks again!

(Quote) Good morning! I guess it might be time to try the update, upgrade. And then the reboot. So, here we go! Best! Tom

(Quote) This sounds like what I am imagining. If I understand right, at least some bashvm commands call virsh, which is libvirt, so I am guessing there already is a full API within libvirt. They call libvirt "the Virtualization API" so it …

Hello! Looks like a few Ubuntu updates and a minor version bump are available for Crunchy. Unless somebody has an issue with a reboot, probably I will run the updates and reboot about 12 or 14 hours from now. I will post here again before I update…

I can read the white or green text against the black background, but not the light gray or magenta text against the white background. Every once in awhile I just can't see stuff and I miss something super obvious to everyone who can see normally. N…

Oh! Wait! Haha! Every once in awhile, there is something that just disappears due to my use of Chrome's High Contrast Accessibility Extension. ipinfo.io has a big search box on their home page. But, with the Accessibility Extension, the big search…

(Quote) Hi @sh97! I went to the ipinfo.io website. I couldn't figure out how to use their site for my single inquiry about 4.68.68.41. There didn't seem to be an IP to location search box. Maybe that's because I didn't make an account and log in? Ma…

As was kindly suggested to me by @bobert on OGF, the difference between the "best ping" to Phoenix and the "best ping" to 4.68.68.41 is 0.1. This means that 4.68.68.41 probably also is in Phoenix and the geolocation database migh…
