I've been doing my long running computations on my BHS (Canada) server instead of Hetzner (DE), just to give the DE side a break with the ridiculous energy costs (gas shortage etc). BHS is wisely ri…

Hmm, maybe. It doesn't have to be vps: borg or rsync is fine. I don't see a need for ip addresses, especially v4. v6-only or shared v4 is fine for this type of thing. Raid level should not be 5. …

I'm ok with ipv6 only but pricing is awkward. Too low to be sustainable for seeders who want heavy iops and network. Too high to be attractive for hoarders who sit on piles of cold archives with li…

Interesting, let's see how it goes. They had ARM dedis before using Hardkernel boards if I remember, but those were later phased out. Interesting that FI is the only location available. I guess th…

Cheapest plan I know in the US is Redpocket annual at $2.50/month, includes a fair amount of voice minutes and SMS, plus a little bit of data. I'm on their $10/month plan, 1GB data and monthly billi…

I'm happy with Virmach. Their stuff basically works and is super cheap. With this new service they maybe got a little too ambitious and the bugs are not out of it yet, but they are putting in good …

@vgood , these servers are a terrific value for personal and knockaround usage, but it will be a while (maybe forever) before they are really stable. With no dig intended at Virmach, if you are usin…
