So Contabo finally bumped egress to €0.08/GB. Running my tiny LLM weights mirror on their free tier was already costing me sleep doing the VRAM math every night. Ngl I did the spreadsheet: 2.7TB/mo = ~$216 now, which is more than my actual inference box.
Anyone else running small mirrors getting squeezed? My 3090 draws less power than this bill would cost.
Thats brutal. I was mirrorign the stable diffusion weights and its like 4TB a month. My ramen budget cant handle this hostign cost. Already lookign at Hetzner but their pops arent near me!
Current setup in garage, 42U rack, pulling 15A at 240V. The wife is already mad about the power bill. Ran numbers: self-hosting the mirror on my fiber would cost less in electricity than Contabo's new pricing. Need to get a kill-a-watt on the new switch though, only have 3 days of data.
