Meh, can't edit the above any more: I got confused, the 7502P costs a little more than the 3970X does (around 2200 USD vs 2000 USD, I think). The 3990X is much more, 3900 USD ("$1 per X") and is only worth it for some specific workloads.

Whoa, I didn't notice this before: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161 There's now an Epyc Rome (32 core, EPYC 7502P) server! Decent pricing at €119/m with 128GB ram though there is the usual reviled €119 setup fee, and there's no s…
-
I think Scaleway (France) has some. They are 1st generation Epyc (Naples), less speedy than the current Rome series, but they satisfy the criterion of not being from Intel.
-
Those E3 boxes are kind of tempting: any idea if it's feasible to colo one in Fiberhub? And can the enclosures hold some HDD's?
-
(Quote) A pity. I'd have thought this would have been just the thing: http://www.batteriesareus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10438 ;-)

Sharding (splitting a single big dataset across multiple servers) and replication (maintaining multiple copies of a dataset for HA) are completely separate things. MySQL and Mongo both had better replication features than Postgresql (PG) did, as of…
-
(Quote) I've done it, and there are definitely serious deployments around, though I agree with you that Mongo was always overhyped and people have caught onto it more by now. I still use it for a few things. SQL users now tend to do things like pu…
-
Is strapi something that uses tb's of data? Mongo is easy to get started with (document db instead of relational) and has an easy replication setup (as does cassandra), plus it's very fast in unsafe mode, but I'd agree to stay away from it for seri…
-
Will it still be a "slice" setup where each VM gets a fixed amount of memory and proportionate amount of dedicated CPU? How much ram will be in a node? Any chance of offering larger local disk allocations post-migration, maybe at extra c…
-
Wow, some of these are pretty good. D-1521 with 16GB ECC ram and 4x4TB disks for €40 or $48/month at BHS is better than anything I remember in North America from earlier. Or E5-1230v5 with 32GB ECC and same 4x4TB for €50 or $60/month also pretty g…
-
Are you using ECC ram with the Ryzens? Some mobos support it, others don't. For high clock and lots of cores, of course there is also threadripper.

I got a response from Jackery: you can't use their box as a UPS as you have to press the power switch to switch from passthrough to battery power. Oh well. I'm still unclear on what's wrong with using a AGM or gel or other deep cycle SLA battery i…

Aha, I see the stats in the top screen shot, saying there are 3366 comments. If they average 1KB each (that is probably a high guess), that is just 3.3MB. Of course there is some db overhead and stuff, some static files, etc. But still, yeah, 512…
-
I'm surprised this board needs 2gb of memory. I wonder what is happening that is using so much. Database cache? Is the underlying disk an SSD?
-
(Quote) Solus is more for starting and stopping VM's and that sort of thing. You're thinking of cpanel. There are some reasnable alternatives to cpanel, like DirectAdmin (proprietary) and VestaCP (free).
-
(Quote) Wait what? You want to host VM's on an 8 core box which is maybe $50/month these days and they want another $48 for solus? Yeah ok, not gonna work. People complain about Virtualizor but there have to be more alternatives out there.
-
The Jackery web site says their powerbank supports "pass through" but I guess there could still be some switchover interruption. I sent them an email inquiring. It seems like a nice unit in many ways so it will be cool if it can work as …
-
Does anyone really have to run solus on more than a single core? Is it that slow, and have they found a way to cash in on it being slow?
-
17 is the only truly random number, so I pick it. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/random-numbers.html
-
Why does anyone use this stuff? Do the existing alternatives have significant deficiencies? I understand how cpanel has a crapton of features, but whmcs and solus don't seem that complicated.

For 240WH, try this: https://www.jackery.com/products/explorer-240-portable-power-station They have a 300WH model coming out in a few months, that will be a little more modern, supporting USB-PD, similar to the 1000 watt model.

Lead acid is still a lot cheaper than lithium. Its disadvantages are weight and not being able to survive as many charge cycles, but both of those are less of an issue for a UPS than for a portable or energy storage application. What are you looki…
-
I picked up an Energizer UE10042 on sale a few months ago and it seems to come on right away although there is a button that shows the battery charge indicator. I don't know the situation about charging it with solar cells though, or using it as pa…

If you want a static site, just use a static site, either raw or using a static site generator. Stay away from anything like wordpress unless you really need it. Static is fine for most things.

Yes for interactivity use ssh-agent, and for your automation put everything behind a VLAN. The only way into the VLAN should be through a jump host that you connect to with ssh pubkey authentication.

LESbians? Sheesh, can we get rid of that? Unless we are going to have our own code repo, of course: https://www.xkcd.com/624/
-
There's FOSS panels out there that might or might not suffice for LEB/LES style hosting. I played with VestaCP a little and the worst thing about it was a huge CPU-intensive crypto key generation process at installation time, and I think that is fi…

Did Cogent have some kind of ARIN WHOIS access that regular users don't, that was yanked? If not, I expect they will keep finding ways to scrape the info.

There are tons of french videos on youtube and everywhere else. Maybe just don't bother with netflix.
-
@AnthonySmith any luck with this? Do you have some kind of setup for welding packs together? I'm wondering what you're using and am thinking of some kind of homebrew setup with a gel cell. There are some youtube vids about how to build those.
