Nice to hear about the referral program! Seems like everyone has that now. The splash screen for the cloud console says that the referred customer's credits have to be used by the end of the next month (which is unclear wording). But the referrals…

(Quote) I have to wonder whether that flag really works under virtualization. It's sometimes doubtful even on bare metal, because of the many layers of caches in the controller, the drive, etc.
-
Hmm, I'd want to see how that test works... maybe it is influenced somehow by caching. Otherwise, 16k/s = wow ;).

I don't think you can add the read and write iops/sec together and report the total as meaning anything. Averaging them together makes more sense. 7000+/s is still very fast for a cheap vps. I thought it was more usual to measure iops at 512 by…

Well the Nurnberg one was at 11:41 pm so maybe you could try earlier in the day. I don't have a particular time in mind, just wonder whether the machines are more heavily loaded during the day or evening or if they are consistent. I'd also be inte…

Interesting, same hardware at all 3 locations, with that much difference between benchmarks. Are you up for repeating them at a different time of day?

(Quote) Oh lol, I didn't even notice. Heh. And come to think of it the Epyc 7502P has 32 cores, though with lower clock speed (2.5 ghz base instead of 2.8 ghz). The Hetzner AX161 has it at 109 euro (with 128GB ram and also no disk), or 256GB it l…

The dual cpu version (32 cores) is more interesting imho. Just $50 more for the 2nd cpu. The 16 core one probably beats the 16 core E5-26xx that are available cheaply now, but maybe not enough to warrant the cost difference. OTOH, with 32 cores, …
-
Oh thanks, I looked only at the smallest and biggest Hetzner (both Intel) and didn't notice that the 2nd and 3rd were Epyc. There is quite a discrepancy in speed between the 2nd and 3rd. I wonder what is up with that. I'd be interested in seeing …
-
Thanks! Yes the vultr high frequency cpus are much faster than the regular ones. I'd also be interested in seeing the Hetzner EPYC plans.

Wouldn't you use a CDN for the video? Or is it for realtime video chat or sth like that. Anyway it sounds like australia may be a sticking point. I wonder why Vultr/etc. don't support GeoDNS. It's not that complicated to add on, I'd hope.
-
I didn't understand what GeoDNS was until reading about it just now. I just thought it meant setting up anycast routing so that client queries would tend to go to a nearby server. It instead means the DNS server itself uses a GeoIP database to gue…
-
(Quote) I thought the way anycast works is that if an endpoint goes down, the route to it fails (how?) and the next lowest cost route gets the query. DO has free DNS for subscribers but it's not clear if they have anycast: https://www.digitalocean.…

Ok fair enough, I didn't realize there were so many nextcloud guides, particularly for nextcloud talk (voice/video chat). I guess I should find one. I had crappy luck a year or so ago but maybe it is better now. Here are a few other ideas: * Set…
-
(Quote) I see, so this wouldn't really be a coding guide then: I figure anyone using (e.g.) a scraping tutorial already has to know some basic coding, and to do that they must already be ok on installing Python. It's still ok, it just means scrapin…
-
Thanks. I'd feel more comfortable if you posted what you expected to pay. I also wouldn't feel right about taking your money before the site is generating revenue. And if you want exclusive use of the materials, then I'd have to charge way more t…
-
Where is budget for this coming from? What amount of publishing exclusivity would you want? I'm a strong Python coder with good knowledge of a few specialized topics, and interest in learning a few other topics. It has occurred to me that decidin…
-
No idea if https://solidinvoice.co/ is any good, but it is available as a 1-click install on DO so that's how I found out about it.
-
I feel like I should figure out how to use k8s but by all indications it is bloody complicated. Didn't people use LXC for that stuff not so long ago? Was Docker basically LXC with a branding sticker? Is k8s better somehow? Added: it looks like d…

(Quote) Can you run it on the dev instances? OVH Public Cloud has it at lower starting prices than the Scaleway GP instances: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/public-cloud/kubernetes/
-
Wow, even the large GP instances went up. They aren't so clueful. No mention of the bare metal instances which were more interesting than the GP's anyway. The C1 is discontinued, no longer offered and the existing ones will be shut off pretty soo…
