(Quote) I’ve been digging into this quite a bit recently. The ARM64 servers like Ampere Altra and Altra Max are in a different class from consumer ARM chips (RPi, MacBooks, etc.) when it comes to performance-per-watt. Typical Altra CPUs (32 – 128 c…

(Quote) As a regular user you cannot "adopt" IPv6. You can go out of your way to "disable" it, but when it comes to adoption, I specifically mean high level adoption, specificly, on the level of ISPs and datacenters who need to i…

(Quote) Well, even docker doesn't come with IPv6 support out of the box. You have to enable and configure it manually...

(Quote) Haha, I know, right!!! Well, for now, 2 of my dedicated servers still dont come with IPv6. Seems like many lowend/budget dedicated servers with old hardware dont come with IPv6, only IPv4...

(Quote) adoption rate is not linear, so in my opinion, it would take 30+ years, unless some big giant steps in to say we are switching fully to IPv6 and you can only access our slower servers over IPv4.

AI definitely has a lot of potential for handling general server tasks and speeding up workflows. That said, I’m still not comfortable handing over full control of my server and sensitive data to AI. I’d rather use it as an assistant or for suggesti…

(Quote) RPi was originally designed to be a low-cost Linux box with GPIO control, basically a small PC with an Arduino built in. It was meant for education, tinkering, and embedded projects, not as a desktop replacement. The RPi 3B was when it beca…

(Quote) IPv6 started in 1999 and became an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017. So it's been around for 8 years already. Singapore started to take IPv6 seriously (all major ISPs started offering IPv6) since around 2013 using IPv4 to IPv6 tunnels, and …

(Quote) In many developing countries, buying 15–20-year-old hardware is still considered "pretty new". When it comes to reliability, they often have in-house repair teams; soldering irons, spare chips from China, the whole setup. Electrici…

(Quote) As long as IPv4 are still available, people will go with it. Most ISPs are still not willing to upgrade their infra to IPv6, specially in those 2nd and 3rd world countries, where the ISPs prefer to buy second hand cheaper hardware (if any at…

(Quote) Oracle cloud considers two arm64 cores to be equivalent performance to a single x64 core and from my experience, this seems correct for CPU heavy applications. So 80 core arm64s are more like 40 core x64 cpu with 80 threads (hyper-threading…

(Quote) The things I put on most servers, I have at least 2 backups in 2 different locations. I trust people with my data as much sheeps trust wolves with baby sheeps...

(Quote) I want cheap yearly dedicated server. I wonder if i can ask DediRock to hook me up with one :lol:
-
(Quote) The new "cool" thing to do is put all the servers on ARM64, since it's lower power consumption and comparable performance for most use cases. So they are always sold out. Wait a bit more and people will realize it's not worth it an…

(Quote) Probably earn recognition, then move on to broader client base to earn back the money?

(Quote) My speed test is in the first post, and needless to say, it's not good... Yours on the other hand looks great! Thanks to you, I know what I am getting this black friday :lol: Hope they have offers on dedicated server this year as well!
