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 expensive but has 24gb of ram instead of 10gb, which is important for some…

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 for the occasional confirmation message and the like.

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 greatest. i5-3570S, i7-3770, and I think E3-1240v3.

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 been around longer. A programming and tech subforum with a code repo (Gitea or…

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 enough to be significant when comparing.

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 charges for upload to within Scaleway. I better check on that. I was thinking of…

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 with a control panel (I've forgotten its name) but hit some snag end ended up…

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 though I haven't had a use for this. I do use html export all the time. Most of my…
-
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 the absence of phone stuff doesn't bother me.
-
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 overallocation so shitty vps's, etc. When you talk about a 128MB NAT or a $12-15/y low…

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 of the time. So spot/preemptable gives you a way to turn it into revenue.

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 never tried to read through 1000s of unread cest pit posts. If there are 30 unread posts I might…

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 Google's unwavering gaze. Thus I like the offtopic section best. In fact why is this thread…
-
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 application. DO, Vultr, and so on are medium sized. The defining characteristics for me of a…

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 still might use one now and then. Meanwhile my now ancient i7-3770 auction…

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 a Hetzner Ryzen 3900 (AX61 I guess, 3.1 ghz, slower than the 3900X) dedi which…
