(Quote) No I men they are predicting a 3080ti which is a 3080 refresh priced a little bit above the 3080, not >2x as much like the 3090. It will probably lack nvlink and have ~16gb not 24gb.

(Quote) If you mean between servers in the same DC, then yes, you get that and it can be worth it. To the internet in general, YMMV.

People on reddit are predicting a 3080ti with 16gb or 20gb coming down the pike.

The Anandtech article is pretty good: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16057/nvidia-announces-the-geforce-rtx-30-series-ampere-for-gaming-starting-with-rtx-3080-rtx-3090

The 3070 isn't really 2x as fast as a 2080ti. The 3080 is and it seems more interesting than the 3070 since it's quite a bit faster and it's $700, which is fairly cheap if you had previously been in the market for a 2080ti. The 3090 is a lot more …

Interesting. The email had said "the Micro plan is limited to a single domain". 5 or 10 soft limit is much better. But 20/day outgoing is ridiculously low for an active mailbox.

The micro plan is limited to one domain which is annoying. I hope @jarland 's MXRoute is sustainable. It is much less expensive than the new Migadu multi-domain plans. I haven't used it much but have some idle domains on it and it's worked fine f…

Oh yes that's a good point, better search would be very nice. I have no idea about that add-on but if it doesn't satisfy, there are other ways to do it. I ran a big Solr instance (lucene.apache.org/solr) a while back and it is pretty powerful.

Do you really need SSD? How new does the cpu have to be? I have a few HDD-based, mostly idle dedis that I'm using primarily for storage. If you want to burn cpu on one for a week I could set something up for you. But they are not the latest of g…

It's good the way it is. I can't think of any incremental technical improvements that would make a big difference. Community growth would be nice but that's not a technical thing. LET had worse tech than this place but was livelier from having bee…

(Quote) It's €64 but yeah, dollar has fallen compared to euro (zomg, 1.18 $/€), maybe due to coronavirus. So €64 is over $75. Also remember that disks are in "decimal" terabytes (1e12 bytes) which are about 0.9 TiB. The difference is en…

(Quote) Thanks for spotting that. Those auction servers have gotten considerably cheaper in the past few months. Maybe I should retire mine and switch to one of those, to either save a little $$ or get more storage. I didn't realize the new C14 c…

Happy independent day but I was hoping I'd see some servers located in Pakistan in the offer! Maybe someday.
-
I've used them as general beataround vps and scrapers in the past, and also as vpn endpoints. Really they can do almost anything a native ipv4 vps of similar size can. But I kept wanting more disk space. I did use one of Neoon's to experiment wit…

(Quote) I can do both but sometimes get a little confused switching between them. Org-mode links are more flexible since they can refer to local files or anchors in them, possibly execute code, or whatever. You can export org files into markdown t…

org-mode.org does everything I could want. But really, a plain text file isn't so bad either. Org-mode's main shortcoming is no smartphone integration to speak of, but you didn't mention wanting that. I do everything on a laptop these days, so th…

When I think of deep discount I think of chicagovps back in the day, summer hosts, contabo etc. Bad stuff. Their thing was trying to sell ridiculous amounts of resources in the $7 limit or lower. It was unsustainable, involved lots of overallocat…

Once you're big and cloudy, preemptable (GCS) or spot (AWS) seems like an important product. You have to price the regular VM's high enough that supply exceeds demand and there is always stock available. But that means you have idle hardware most …

I'd rather not have "interesting stuff" "pulled" from the cest pit. The idea is that it's somewhat like an ephemeral live conversation or maybe a newspaper, that is stale after a day or two. I don't know about others but I've n…

I read and post to it now and then. I'd prefer keeping it as-is on the "not broken, don't fix" principle. I understand the need for search traffic to grow a community and I'm board with it but at the same time I'd rather stay out of Goog…

Besides those mentioned, back in the day there was Rackspace. I don't know if they are still around or significant. I also think of the "big" providers as AWS, GCS and the like. I couldn't see myself using them for any LES type of appli…

Yeah I might try Finland sometime but these things are too inconsistent and not that fast in the first place. I also wonder what happens in terms of throttling if you do a long-running compute task. The product is less interesting than I'd hoped. …

I just ran the test on the 16 vcore Epyc instance. Multicore cpu was 5694 which I guess is disappointing since it's less than 10x the single core speed. It still beats the 8 vcore Intel instance by a fair amount. It's less than half the speed of …
