Following. I do not trust any benchmark I have not faked myself.

More seriously: I restore databases for a living. My benchmark is "how long to pg_restore from S3 to local NVMe." I post that number, the dataset size, the PostgreSQL version, and whether I used --jobs. Nobody asks for my YABS. They a...

Those RackNerd specials are annual pay, just so you know. Fine if you're committed, but factor that in. I prefer monthly for testing.

Also check: some of their cheapest plans are in LA only. If your players are EU, ping matters.

Tested this on three "dedicated" hosts before I gave up. Two were LXC. One wouldn't let me run systemd-detect-virt at all—permission denied. They had a custom kernel that hid everything.

The third was KVM but oversold 8:1 on a...

The real scandal—gaming hosts know this—NVMe costs them maybe $2 more per user—they charge $10 extra for "premium" tier—same hardware just—different label—I asked one provider directly—sales guy admitted it—then tried to sell me "enterprise" plan instead—distracted by—new concern—has anyone checked...

I feel you on this—I was hunting the same unicorn—last month—dedicated ipv4 at that price—used to be everywhere—now its like—finding honest politician—haha—anyway—have you looked at—no wait—they went all NAT too—maybe Hetzner still has—no that was 2023 pricing—I think youre going to end up—like me—p...

Oh man—Tokyo hotels—they do this thing where—wait no—the GL.iNet has that speaker for—actually the MT300N doesn't have a speaker at all—unless it's the USB power draw causing—no, that wouldn't explain the name—unless the hotel has your booking info piped to—actually that's GDPR violation territory r...

Contabo's manual invoice thing—I tried it once—took three days—then I realized I could just—use a privacy.com virtual card on Hetzner instead—same privacy less hassle—except privacy.com doesn't work everywhere—new zealand ip blocks or something—anyway crypto's tax reporting nightmare in my country—

ZFS ARC alone would eat—actually with 512MB you'd be looking at—unless you cap it at 64MB which defeats the—my point was going to be about mirrors but now I'm thinking about RBLs instead—the neighborhood problem is real, I've seen entir...

Yes. Hetzner Cloud (the non-Budget line) includes IPv6. /64 per server, no add-on. The Budget line is where they stick the fee.

Problem i...

Still true. Provisioned an OVH VPS in Gravelines last month. Control panel shows IPv6 immediately. Network unreachable for two days. Support said "propagation delay." It's their own datacen...
