Hey Tiff, awesome work.

Have you considered buying hardware and renting only the datacenter location? Then you just have to pay for its rent (power + space in a datacenter).

Especially for higher ram usage, it usually pays off.

It's sometimes called server colocation, for example this italian provider https://serverdedicati.aruba.it/colocation offers :

  • 100 Watts
  • 100 Mbit/s
  • 2U server height
  • 75cm of depth Starting at 59€ + taxes.

With this you could have much more RAM. There are also many smaller providers that offer much more competitive prices, you then really cut costs.

Edit:

Contabo https://contabo.com/en/dedicated-servers/ makes 95€ a month for 64GB RAM

Otherwise I remembered this website https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers that has various smaller providers proving colocation.

For example, this one https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/184470/alexhost-com-web-hosting-vps-dedicated-servers-colocation-md offers https://alexhost.com/colocation-in-moldova/ 77€ for 300 Watts. With that, you can easily get a chunkier server with lots of RAM and disks and do whatever you want at a MUCH lower price :)

Mi piace come idea, grazie!

Per lo spam, penso vi siano problemi di federazione su reddthat (avevano problemi di latenza causa server in Australia), non sò se possa essere correlato, in ogni caso non mi è arrivato niente quindi va bene così :)

Yeah, RISC-V in general isn't yet ready for mainstream use, but it's a major step forward in the right direction.

It's a 64bit CPU running at 2Ghz, that works on a MOBO with 1 x16 port.

They market it on their website as "Make native RISC-V development possible" so of course your don't buy this expecting everything to work out of the box.

Everytime I am forced to use a proprietary piece of software, my head starts spinning, knowing the suffering I'll have to bear

Why won't anyone make this things to run Linux?

Dammit, can't anyone see the market on this one? I would love to get one, maybe even with LTE connectivity. Now that would be Cyberpunk.
