    Yeah, I'd always recommend dedicated because no noisy neighbors.

    Real question: what do people do with these? Price/performance ratio is pretty bad, even considering the sale. Network speed is atrocious in 2019. And these "flash sales" are happening every couple of week now which makes me thing nobody is actually buying this aging hardware anymore, probably because of the aforementioned reasons.

    Idling it obviously.

    Anybody can tell me using it for Plex, will it stream 4k Remux direct play in NA with Canadian server?

    Thanks

    Unlikely. Check passmark.

    No need to check passmark.. directplay almost use no CPU.. the one need to be wary is your 4k movie bitrate. Kimsufis will enough for <50 mbps bitrate movie..

    It is dedicated and network is unmetered 100 Mbps, no limitation on monthly bandwidth limit. Also, CPU and Hard Disk is fully dedicated for you, sometimes in shared servers suppose your neighbor is having tons of traffic, your performance will worsen because of shared resources.

    Also, my friend like Ubuntu/Linux a lot but doesn't like donating money directly to them, so she seeds Linux ISO from https://linuxtracker.org/ and https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads , she believed people donating money is not that great as people will misuse it, etc. But by actively seeding ISOs she is helping them save tons of bandwidth.

    Read this article if you have time -

    I was able to playback some 4k Remux in the past when I had it. All this depends of the peering between your ISP and BHS datacenter. Also trying through cloudfire could help, I never setup it. I just got one of them as a backup Plex dedicate server and I'll try to make some test again.

    Anyone know if Kimsufi has changed their 2FA, last time I logged in was on a different phone, but I have backup codes that are 16 chars long, letters and numbers. Nowhere on the site to use that kind of code.

  • LeeLee Veteran

    Actually, just seen that on my OVH account there is an option to use a backup code, on the Kimsufi site it is missing, I should not be surprised I guess.

    I got a KS-10 from the last sale. I’m running a map server. Lots of RAM and disk to play with so it seems pretty good for my purposes. Can render large map tiles with lots of layers and cache large data sets.

    It’s quite likely I just don’t know any better and something else might be more suitable (maybe something with RAID...) but it seems like a good fit for me.

    what do people do with these?

    (on a KS-10) I'm running an instance of https://github.com/karpathy/arxiv-sanity-preserver

    Currently would fit just fine on a KS-7 but I wanted some room to grow so traded up to a KS-10 the last time those went on sale. (Bonus: the disk on my KS-10 came with less than 3000 power-on hours ... I'm probably going to keep this one for a while.)

    Kimsufi support has changed, I go my 2FA sorted in less than 20 minutes. Was expecting days or weeks.

    Odd, I hadn't even left the order page when the email came in with the server details. That was France though. New account?

    They are all i3-2130, unless you get a bit of luck and there is something else in there. Nothing that will break any records but for the price...
