Well sure, they tell people that, but they actually picked the location Helsinki in Helena's honor. The next one will be in Kathmandu, Nepal so they can call it KAT, after Katie ;). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd3Mt8JBBBg

They named the new data center after Helena! That's really nice to recognize her like that! Very cool.

I've been using bare metal dedis for a while and haven't found them much different than VPS. If something goes wrong with the hardware (and this is happened), I put in a ticket and DC ops fix it. Single tenant VDS is mostly of interest for things like instant migration in case of hardware failure (using CEPH disks), or…
-
I tried DA and I like the idea on principle, but I can see why some users might prefer cpanel. DA doesn't seem nearly as slick, and it's an end user product so that sort of thing matters. SolusVM is less end-user-y and as far as I know, none of the bigger providers like DO offer it. It seems like an unfortunate lack of…

Got any large HDD's available as upgrades?
-
Yeah I got a couple inquiries and then I remembered that transferring kimsufis is not really possible, especially if they were on promo like this one was.
-
Thanks, yeah, I'm not all that conversant with this stuff and wanted to confirm that "bring your own IP" actually meant bring a routable block. How long is this beta happening? If you'll have me, I might be interested in giving it a try as a newbie, to figure out how to use it and write something up about it afterwards. It…

If you want a kimsufi with disks, I have a KS-2E(?) at Roubaix (4gb ram, 2x 2tb drives) at 8.95€/m that I'm thinking of cancelling, since I'm just using it for old long-term backups and I want to move those to the new C14.
-
Order page: https://www.firstheberg.com/fr/serveur-dedie-intel-atom-configuration Appears to be a 2 core atom with your choice of 128gb ssd or 500gb hdd, 4gb ram, 100mbps network, 5.5€/m after the discount. So more like a bottom end Kimsufi. Nice I guess but meh.
-
Does that mean the person has to bring a /24 (ipv4) or /48(?)(v6) since that's the smallest routable block? Or am I misunderstanding what the product does. Thanks.
-
This sounds great! Basically as good as a vps for most purposes, I should think. I imagine using it to host a small distributed database segment, serve some static files, that sort of thing. Thanks!
-
The issue isn't the tunnel protocol itself, but rather the introduction of more unreliability and network latency by having to route from the anycast endpoint to the destination server over additional internet hops. That's why my hope is to have the destination server in the same physical data center as the anycast…
-
Thanks. It seems unfortunate if the last hop (from the anycast network to the destination server) has to be over the internet. It would be more attractive if that hop could be over a LAN, which means the GRE endpoint and the destination server are in the same place. I guess having a VPS in the same DC is the next best…
-
I don't quite understand this product: do you have VPS or dedicated servers available at the endpoints? I'm glad to see more anycast products at the relatively low end, though this is outside my price range for personal projects.
-
This is a nice idea, though the logging on LET was almost useless, lost stuff all the time, was difficult to find anything in even when it wasn't lost, etc. Maybe it's better here.
-
Hi Fran, nice new feature. I understand that backups have to be take hot because they are done automatically. But it would be great if snapshots could be done with the system shut down, to make sure it is quiescent. It's one less thing to go wrong. Hetzner Cloud supports this, fwiw; I do use it when taking snapshots there.…

Excellent bass version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia": https://youtu.be/kGNbkSCvGI4?t=39 Music starts at 39 seconds. I put t=39 in the link but it seems to have gotten overwritten by the forum software.
-
Thing is, with a bit of persistence (flash sale) you can get a small kimsufi or the equivalent, for what those rpi colo or rental places are charging. Even the scaleway c1 wasn't that attractive, but I kept it around because there was ARM code I wanted to fool with now and then.
-
I've used gitit which is a bit heavyweight, but cool in that it uses git as the revision backend, so it can easily be a distributed wiki. For very lightweight but code control oriented, there is fossil. In between is mediawiki which is very widely deployed and configurable. I wouldn't bother with the others, though I've…
-
I don't think they have any alternatives to offer, other than VPS. Do you mean something like a discount? Not that I noticed and I doubt it.
-
This gets discussed once in a while but it's really not worth it given the cheap conventional dedis out there. Scaleway used to have such a product (the C1, similar to a raspberry pi 2) that is now being EOL'd. I don't know if you can get them any more. The existing ones are being shut off in a few months. I have one I…
-
Depending on the application, https://www.scaleway.com/en/c14-cold-storage/ might be interesting.

I had a similar issue (had an upcoming card expiration, and from previous experience I foresaw likely screwups with card payments after the renewal) a couple years ago. I opened a ticket with Hetzner's billing dept and they told me I could prepay an amount of my choosing. I paid a little bit above what I expected my next…
-
That is impressive geekbench for such a low priced server. Close to 3x my Hetzner 3rd gen i7, I think. I hope it holds up as the nodes get full. Now they just need some cheap storage to go with it. Hourly billing would also be great.
-
Did they have some kind of clickbait offer on LET where the offer turned out to be an xmas picture or something like that, but you only found out when you redeemed the coupon? Or was that someone else.
-
I got that email and apparently had an account with them, but I don't seem to have any services with them. So now I'm trying to figure out why I signed up for the account. Did they have some kind of promo? I see two signup emails, November 2017 and March 2018.
-
There is also the vcore vs pcore thing, plus the unpleasantness of non-EU users getting charged EU sales tax (unless there is a way out of that now). But 2TB of SSD is a lot, so the top model at 45€ is still fairly attractive for some use cases.
-
The new root servers use the Epyc 7702: https://www.netcup.de/vserver/ The 7702 and 7702P have 2.00 ghz base clock: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-7702
-
This sounds more like Hetzner's dedicated-cpu cloud instances.

["facebook.com", "google.com", "amazon.com", etc.]

I prefer small hosts because they are too overstretched trying to finish each day with fewer tickets than they started with, to go around looking for ways to exploit or monitor customer data. I'm far more scared of AWS, GCS, etc.
-
@MikePT ?
-
Meh, at this scale I tend to want either super cheap archive storage where I don't care at all about server cpu or iops (serial/network bps still matters), or else I want lots of cpu so I can do stuff locally with the data. A mid-price mid-cpu setup combines the disadvantages of both. Also if high cpu isn't available then…
