    Guys, Thats a Deals thread, everytime you post something offtopic, a kitten dies.

    No, you're talking about the thread where providers post photos of their staff and they have some (real or pretend) females on the team.

    I still feel bad about @QuadraNet_Adam lol

    I'm going to bed before I decide I don't have enough idle power.

    Looks like there's still some. Are you cool with 1 month rentals? I.e. buy, then immediately "cancel at end of billing period"? Purpose = testing, benchmarks, etc. plus want to compare the E3 answer of a big problem to a somewhat suspicious i7-3770 answer.

    Of course hitting the cancel button might be difficult at that price... "E3-1220, ewww, sloww" but it's half the price of a 1245 and more than half as fast, so just get two of them :)

    Ok, fair enough :). I think if I did that with the Hetzner auction, no human would ever even notice, so I might try it sometime.

  • WSSWSS Member

    I'm half tempted to get one just for the damn /29 and call it 'devbox'.. then again I still haven't deployed to the other VN host I have all setup with KVM and happy now..

    Don't know about the /29 but having a dedi as a devbox is a wonderful liberating feeling. Saying "make -j 8" and rebuilding ffmpeg in 2 minutes is great, as is doing a 12 hour data crunching task without anyone bothering you and you them.

    20 USD...
    Hmmm.... so tempting.....
    I can have one and let it idle....

    Hey, do you still have any SSD superdeal servers?

    Maybe I can get one and offer shared idling plans on it. I'll make a fortune.

    It's also great that you're not trashing your own lovely disks every time you build ;)

    Hardware is ordered and shipped :) Holidays delay it a bit. No reason to let some people miss out on a deal if they're okay with waiting :)

    Any update?

    This upcoming week. Still waiting for SSDs to arrive at the DC.

    Geekbench is giving me weird results:

    It looks like the vps act as 4 cores @ 848Mhz but it using only one core @ 3400Mhz

    Time to investigate

    Edit: Just realized that 3400 / 4 = 850

    Got my $17/mo (Paid annually) box from DbD a while back. Looks like I received a bumped up CPU (E3-1270 instead of E3-1230) and a HDD upgrade (1TB instead of 500GB). Specs look pretty good for the price, but the transatlantic connectivity could certainly be a lot better.

    Here's a quick bench -

    Got my TS 6GB OvZ and my DbD. Was upgraded to a 1TB HD, but still same CPU.. IPMI slightly unbroken. Debian on that.

    Ordered an Atom for 3 months, because some turds must have abused it for one at $5. I'd have paid for the full year, ut it costs the same, so fuggit.

    MY IDLE IS ALMOST THE SAME ON MY SERVERS AS MY CARS- I ONLY DRIVE ONE AT A TIME!

    I had to send them blood, urine, and semen, but it took about a week after they did a taste test.

    Total time: Under 3 weeks.
