    KS1 with 2TB just got delivered in GRA a few minutes ago.

    Nice, looks like mine was just delivered with 2TB in GRA1 also.

  • Got a KS-17 at BHS, sweet deal, sad that its only 100mbps but I doubt I'll ever use more than that

    Will see if I can make it fly with ZFS, since we got 4GB of memory.

    Ouch, I did not win the lottery on that, 7 years power on time.

    Got a KS-17 at BHS, sweet deal, sad that its only 100mbps but I doubt I'll ever use more than that

    Isn't the SSD pretty much worthless since you're going to be limited by the bandwidth before the disk anyways?

    How so? Seek time of SSDs vs HDDs is still much faster, everything is snappier, TTFB of websites is improved, I/O wait is greatly reduced, uncached MySQL queries are faster.

    For a lot of use cases, the advantage of SSD is higher IOPs and better seek times rather than higher data transfer rate. Even a regular HDD can max out a gigabit connection if you're transferring one large file.

  • Grabbed a KS-16 with 30k and under on all drives. I'd consider that a win.

    I'll take drives from HGST/WD with twice that and be happy though.

    I have no fucking idea yet, same with KS-LE.
    Then It struck me one day.

    I just play around with them now.

    Well, I wanted to get ZFS going on root with Debian.
    Nearly impossible without IPMI, since the KVM is slow as a snail.

    Debian 11 Live bootup took 30 minutes ish.

    Told ya.

    A simple, minimal text-based Debian install takes 12-24 hours on these rotting toasters.

    I found this https://github.com/hn/debian-buster-zfs-root however I can't get it even to boot from the disk it got installed on.

    If it would boot, I could make an image and dd it to the KS drive.

    Yeah installing it locally in a VM and then dd is a good technique too

    How are you getting KS1, it is always out of stock for me. I already have like a promo KS-3 from flash sale, I pay like 5.99 euro/month. It has specs like the new KS-1 (but with 2TB of HDD). I use it for Plex for streaming Linux ISOs and it is quite good if you just do Direct Play, no transcoding.

    checkservers.ovh was the way for me.

    I have one from the previous promo, 15 eur a month 32 gb ram, xeon, etc.
    It has 2 x2 tb disks so, overall, if you get 3x KS-1 all with 2 TB disks, then you have 50% more storage, but I can make 8 KS-1 regarding the computing power and ram out of this one so I think it is a much better deal, once you figured out how to manage the only one IPv4 or if you use only IPv6 like me.

    It has been in stock, you can create an order and pay later.
    Which I did, so I end up getting my paid orders over the days even when you can't order it.

    Really? How do you place an order when it's out of stock?

    Bruh, it was in stock when made the order. He just didn't pay it immediately and paid it at a later date which makes it look like he ordered while there was no stock.
