The same can be said for all kinds of research. That's why we design methodologies that increase the probability of being correct.

Nice. Upcloud has always made IOPS its selling point relative to its competitors. I have't had the time to bench them, but I feel good knowing they are using prem Intel Golds. Explains why it was so buttery smooth when I was using them for a project.

Nice work, @Mason. I think a 1G file is acceptable, although I probably will still go with a 4GB test file for my own benching mainly because a larger test file will more likely even out spikes, if any. I am not sure how to do a 3-second test that can capture everything lol. My own homebrew script takes several minutes to…

I have just released 33 days worth of benchmarking data for Nexus Bytes' Germany server. You can be sure that the performance will stay the same for a long time.

From his nick, @seriesn is good with math so de ain't deadpooling. You probably got one of the best deals among the early adopters with the upgrade. It pays to stay on the NexusBytes ride.

Smallweb stays on The Whitelist. That's my endorsement based on a reasonable assessment of the issue and its handling. However, it is a good time to take stock of everything, (not just technical) because the next issue may not be met with such warm reception, depending on the nature of the issue (fried switches are…

If it is hardware failure, nothing is bulletproof. Always have multiple backups.

Condoms are not 100% but better than nothing. Same principle.

You are right. I made a mistake there, although I qualify that it is an honest mistake due to force of habit. I removed the Oxford comma originally as a demonstration but copy-editing is so ingrained that I apparently self-corrected unconsciously by setting off the words "JFK and Stalin" with a pair of commas to illustrate…
-
A lot of people are fucked by the Oxford comma because they didn't give a fuck. Ask JFK and Stalin.

The rule is always clarity, unless you would like the strippers, JFK and Stalin, at your party.

I absolutely abhor switching between the language of the Queen and the language of the rebels. In my defense, English in academia has mostly been corrupted by the language of the rebels, so I unconsciously slipped into their foul vernacular when discussing a topic related to academia. Forgive me, mi lord. Actually, the…

Pedants aplenty in newsrooms. The funny thing, though, is that many people actually think their English is excellent and find it fitting to teach me a thing or two. I recently had a journal paper returned with some comments about the English and guess what? Those comments contain grammatical mistakes that the reviewer…

This intrigued the copy-editor in me, so I decided subject that page to the test of my six years of news reporting and editing hell under the personal supervision of the former executive editor of the largest daily in Florida. The parts below should be amended and I explain why. I will stick to UK English for spelling. You…

Good to see proactive measures to ensure node stability!

64K block size, almost 40K iops.. what insanity is this?
-
The disk is so fast, YABS wasn't able to calculate the average in GB/s :#
-
I think that fio is a much better test but I already know the compiling issues, so if you could somehow make that happen, that's the best! I second @cybertech's ioping suggestion. Finally, is there a reason why you don't use Geekbench 5? From what I understand, Geekbench 4 may overweight the RAM portion of the score, and…

Protip 2: Pay quarterly for best pricing.

Not sure about listing, but I think there is a good chance a few years down the road for you to claim bragging rights that you had a significant role in the making of another hosting legend.

NexusCare by @seriesn
-
I don't see him selling Xeons anymore. If you scored one previously, congratulations.
-
From the trajectory that @seriesn is heading in, it is more of a matter of when that happens, not a question of if that will happen. :) EDIT: Just to add on, the AppleCare comparison is very appropriate. Often you get DeadpoolCare at the low end.

You didn't try taking off your clothes though: https://mobile.twitter.com/lilearthangelk/status/1213284066755317761

Exactly. He is not the cheapest but not unreasonably priced either, and in the long run, you probably get the best value all things considered.
-
Are you joining the family?
-
Grab a LA special now. When he upgrades his node in future, you will be enjoying the shiny new hardware and going cheep cheep
-
Holy shit we are talking stochastic models @Janevski?
-
He got upgraded to a Ryzen because @seriesn is phasing out his Xeons (except for storage nodes). If you are one of the rare ones holding onto a Nexus Bytes Xeon SSD, eventually you will find yourself having a shiny Ryzen NVMe at no change in price. If there's anything about Nexus Bytes that is superior potassium, it is not…

This is called taking care of the family. As part of hardware renewal, family members will be migrated to new hardware when the time comes, so it pays to stay for a long, long time. EDIT: BTW, it is @seriesn not @nseries
