    Well some providers let you use your CPU share 100%. But RN is some kind of Virmach clone, that's not the kind of provider you want to host your CPU intensive tasks with.

  • Yeah, that bit surprises me because you could easily max out the CPU on a shared machine doing that. When I think of storage, I was expecting SFTP, a web front end, a torrent thingy and not much else.

    if you happen to be uploading linux tutorial videos, it makes sense to only upload one format to the server on your typically slow home uplink and transcode on the server for multiple format/resolution uploads. Similar for downloads really. Some people live transcode and stream to devices these days.

    A problem is that isolation between users provided by linux is pretty crappy. Security-wise a KVM will provide more isolation. For encrypted backups it should be fine. I wouldn't use such a setup for important data.

    True on all that. But also it's a bit harder to make KVM with shared storage, shared IP etc. all doable, but requires extra config, extra failing parts, extra hardware, extra maintenance, leading up to a more expensive service.

    All that being said, looking for solutions for better isolation in all regards. Just something which allows us to keep this individual servers method of maintenance instead of huge single points of failure etc.

    wait, is ffmpeg usage allowed on PulsedMedia seedboxes?!

    Yes it is! Just be mindful.

    Those who use ffmpeg seem to understand this very well, i don't recall a case where we had to intervene on ffmpeg usage :) that or we might've already done on the backend something to ensure that, and i just cannot recall. more than a decade of single software dev tends to do that lol

    ffmpeg is popular, i guess a lot of people re-encoding their stuff.

    Yeah, that bit surprises me because you could easily max out the CPU on a shared machine doing that. When I think of storage, I was expecting SFTP, a web front end, a torrent thingy and not much else.

    Actually, one of my use cases for servers is running modified ffmpeg using not much drive space (don't ask), but probably too much CPU for a VPS with a fair use on a core, which why I like my KS-LE and KS-2 so much because nobody cares what I do to the CPU. When I wanted to run it on my Racknerd VPS for about 36 hours, I had a script that kept sending it SIGSTOP and SIGCONT every few seconds to keep my CPU use down under 40% so I wouldn't annoy anyone. At least, I assumed I had to. RN doesn't seem to say what the FUP actually is...

    But anyway, I guess I wouldn't be popular running ffmpeg 24/7 on anyone's shared machine, so I'll keep it to my dedis and home machines for now.

    seedboxes and CPU usage ... almost oxymoron. Guess why we keep having the now more than decade old opterons still in production, which does not even have hw accel for newest SSH ciphers and thus capped at ~1Gbps per core for SSH speeds?

    Because typically SSH is the most demanding thing users run ... well apart from Deluge nowadays, but before we added Deluge SSH was #1 CPU consumer, even back on Deb8 older ciphers which consumed less CPU.

    Yet the CPUs tend sit like 90-95% idle even today. Slightly increasing every year.

    I guess it's time to start upgrading those 6core opterons regardless slowly, but that's happening naturally as servers start to fail.

    BTW, Huge thanks on SIGSTOP, SIGCONT. I was just thinking about how to pause processes under Linux and could not remember at all how it was done, was just sure it can be done :)

    Yea for heavy usage of ffmpeg dedi might be better suited, but it's fine as long as using nice 19 tbh.
