Running RAM cached HDD server for personal use. Works fine. Would not use it to host 10+ VMs though. If it's a website, then caching is fine.

(Quote) That is people centric attitude, not money minded. With that kind of attitude, no wonder you're deadpooling :lol: I read the companies in USA working with asbestos (making or installing) knew of the risks to the workers, but didn't care abo…

(Quote) Sounds like the original way people used to check which power cable went to which house... :lol:

(Quote) Eh... Google AI is smoking some strong stuff... :lol: Also, my server is running only 128GB of ECC DDR4 RAM. As for storage, I don't think it's even 20GB yet... (Quote) I am living in Singapore. Biggest cost is still import costs as Singap…

(Quote) Replace these public forums with private forums where one user interacts with 10 AI bots, each with their own personality. That will be a more fun place :lol:

(Quote) I just have a failover server for mission critical things (like my email) so "when" my email server fails, i'll just route all email traffic to my standby server :lol:

(Quote) Well, I guess people who want RAID are still putting mission critical data on LES providers and not keeping any backups... Live and learn I guess? :lol:

(Quote) So maybe it's time to remove the LES exclusive offer and make the upper limit higher? Again, just a recommendation. Actual decision is left up to LES management team (Quote) Why not just remove rules that cannot be enforced?

(Quote) RAID is not backup. RAID failure = disk change = RAID array rebuilding, which can fail and take the remaining disk with it. So I see RAID as a 2x chance of fail. I prefer full disk backups or data backups.

(Quote) I did miss out on that rule. I thought it was only for providers. Still, I do not see how LES would track members across forums specially if they signed up with different usernames...
-
(Quote) Well, it isn't against the rules for customers to repost LES exclusive offers... I mean you can easily setup a bot to monitor LES exclusive offers category and auto post it to a forum of your choice :lol:

(Quote) Speaking of which, already got myself a CC dedi for $100 per year during the last black friday :lol:

(Quote) Yep, if you paid for 1 year, you'll still enjoy the service at the current rate until it's time for renewal... So look for an alternative fast!

(Quote) And that is also why I use LES for the community and LET & some other forums when I need to find a deal. I mean I understand why the pricing limit was set and agreed with it. But that was in 2019 and in 2026, it no longer reflects the c…

(Quote) Sir... that's a server... Atleast call it a workstation! Also, in which world is 32GB of ram, 3TB of SSD & 8TB of HDD and RTX3050 considered "low end"? :lol: Also, isn't that CPU being a bottleneck in your setup? RTX3050 needs…

(Quote) Those sounds like a mid range laptop, not a low end. Specially SSD... Are you sure it wasn't a EMMC which was the standard of that age? (Quote) I ran it as a DEV server for a while but when even rendering PHP scripts takes a while, i gave u…

(Quote) Are you using a laptop with 2 GB DDR2 or DDR3 RAM with Intel Pentium dual-core E5xxx or Intel celeron CPU with a 120 to 250GB HDD and 1024x600 or 1366x768 res screen? That's the typical "low end" laptop from 15 years ago. I do hav…

$7 in 2011 (about 15 years ago) adjusts to roughly $10 today just based on inflation alone. That said, I don’t think any of us are still using a "low-end" desktop or laptop from 15 years ago. For comparison: I bought a mid-range laptop f…

(Quote) That's the correct attitude to have :D Social media is just for people to brag "look, my life is better thæn yours". If you care too much about "blending in" you will just suffer mental burnout. If you care to "show…

(Quote) You are wrong there. It is FOR social media wannabes :lol: (Quote) Just the right amount of JS makes the website feel responsive and makes the user happy. Too much of it makes the browser slow and users unhappy. In my websites, I'll still …
