(Quote) Damn.. That's 2k spent on aliexpress on CPUs alone! You can get 4x E5-2699 v4 from there for the same price and still have enough money left over for the DHL express shipping to any other country... (Quote) My previous company had a similar…

(Quote) What were you using the server for? Did you have any onboard bandwidth monitoring software installed on your instance? Did you reach out to AWS to ask them to justify the excess bandwidth? They usually have a daily usage graph to show input…

Wasn't EasyVM one of the "good" hosts? Weird they went down without notifying their users...
-
(Quote) Not really. I usually play with them on the first 1 to 2 days and then leave them to idle. I had a yearly server that I did not know existed till I got the renewal reminder... (Quote) Glad you see what I said. I never said he is good. He ma…

(Quote) I am not saying all LES/LET hosts are bad. What I am saying is that c1v's prices are bargain basement, along with his services. He is not charging you the same as other hosts and offering you bad service. He is providing you bad service at l…

(Quote) Not to familier with caddy. Tried out lighttpd, but liked nginx more (personal preference); mainly cause nginx supports reverse proxies with more options. (Quote) :lol:

(Quote) It's 2024. They could both me he or she or inbetween or both or none or a cat.... (Quote) Well I mean I would understand it if the user is new on the forum, saw a good deal and grabbed it up. But he is from October 2022. If he still don't k…

(Quote) Other then idling (which is the proper use case for these low end deals) running a wordpress is not recommended as most often people will setup apache, mysql (without optimization), php and then install wordpress. Some even go as far as to i…

(Quote) People complaining about the cheap service when they willingly paid for it without checking the reviews first; now even want the host tag to be removed cause their service sucks? You must be out of your mind. If the host is a scam, took you…

(Quote) Large as in 100 GB or large as in 100 PB?

Thank you all for responding. I knew I could count on you guys to help me find a good deal! (Quote) That's what @Not_Oles mentioned. Unfortunately I do not know who they are reselling for. If possible, I would go directly to the source instead of g…

(Quote) I got 5 Pi 3 B+ & 2 Pi Zero W that agrees with you. I also got 2 Pi 4 B & one Pi Zero 2W that disagrees with you :lol: I regularly use the Pi Zero 2W with passive heatsink running Pi KVM. It's slow and it does thermal throttle unles…

@Not_Oles are you still using the server you got from oneprovider? How's their uptime? I only had for 1 month and they seemed OK for that duration. Wondering if it's the same for you.

Erm... I don't think I can validate that email :lol: But I must say, not asking for personal details / address is a bold move. (Image)

(Quote) Refurbished can also mean it's a customer return. Someone who ordered and decided to returned it cause they didn't like it or didn't need it or other reason. The vendor will test it and sell it as refurbished. Sometimes it's also the shucke…

(Quote) Yes, the primary feature of raspberry pi is the low power and the access to all of it's GPIO pins. Moreover it was a low cost solution to prototyping (not sure I can say that anymore, with the Pi 5 costing 100+ dollars).
-
(Quote) Exactly. When connected to a motherboard's NVMe port, the drives heats up and requires at least a fan blowing on them while in a raspberry Pi, they stay cool. So they are definitely getting throttled. Not sure if it's due to the low x1 PCIe …

(Quote) Pi 4 max current output for usb is 1.2 A (total) at 5V, which is 6W. That's a 6W for just one port if you stick to only 1 port. Although if you read the specs, it would seem like it's not enough for Sata SSD which draws "5-8 watts when …

(Quote) Well, English is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
-
(Quote) Both for Pi 4 and Pi 5 they are ok as long as you are connecting to the USB 3.0 ports. SSDs pulls a lot less power then mechanical harddisks and dont have spikes during spin-ups. As for Pi 3, ya... i tried it once and it broke the adapter. P…

(Quote) Personally I stick to raspberry pi cause they have better firmware support and documentations for those edge cases where things don't work.
-
(Quote) LOL! Good one!

Crap, my private image hosting went down with the VPS... Time to setup a new one I guess!
-
(Quote) So you don't want hourly billing but want to pay every hour? Like, pay 24 times per day? Weird... but to each their own I guess! :lol:

One simple rule: If it's on the internet, it's going to be exploited. Anything you don't want going public or being sold should not be put on the internet. Facebook, insta, tiktok, whatsapp, all are selling your data. So why not a bot scraping disc…

(Quote) I see your point... My raspberry Pi Zero 2W "needs" a passive cooler along with a fan nearby, otherwise it thermal throttles. Same with my Pi 4 which needs a full on 1 KG aluminum cooler case and still gets too hot to touch when he…
