    Well this is news to me.
    Anyways, I can SSH into it just fine. Also it has IPv6, nice! I can check my phone's up status from here lol.

    BTW, I noticed ccache is not installed. ccache would help.
    Its sort of necessary for my build

    Will take a look. Please let me know if you need anything else.

    Hi @Otus9051!

    ccache is installed in version 3.7.7-1el7, which is the version yum wanted to install on our CentOS 7.

    The current version seems to be 4.6.3.

    Probably you have seen:

    If you or anybody else is interested, a transcript of the install is available at https://metalvps.com/CentOS-ccache-install-transcript.html

    Maybe you are ready to start your compiling adventure? 🤩 Please let me know if you need anything more.

    We have 32 cores. If convenient, I would be interested to know how long your compile takes with and without ccache and also how many cores are used.

    [root@dedi92911 ~]# nproc
    32
    [root@dedi92911 ~]# 
    

    Best!

    I normally use 256 Jobs on 12 Cores and the build time is ~10mins. As this is 32 Cores, lets see how fast that goes. Oh, and also, my script is made to run with ccache optimization and I am too lazy to rewrite the script. Haha.

    BTW, I forgot, Python3 is needed (and the executable should be named python3)

    Okay, will add python3. . . . :)

    Thanks for the build time info. Yes, the difference will be interesting.

    @Otus9051 said: I normally use 256 Jobs on 12 Cores

    When you say 256 jobs, are you talking about the -j option with make?

    Thanks!

    Okay, python3 seems to have been installed.

    [root@dedi92911 ~]# which python3
    /usr/bin/python3
    [root@dedi92911 ~]# python3
    Python 3.6.8 (default, Nov 16 2020, 16:55:22) 
    [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

    A transcript of the install is at https://metalvps.com/CentOS-python3-install-transcript.html

    Anything else? :) Anyone else? :)

    Isn't -j recommended to be twice the CPU cores?

    That's what I've always heard. Sometimes people say the number of threads plus 1.

    I don't know a definitive source for how to determine the correct number of jobs. Within the section on the -j option, the make(1) manpage doesn't seem to explain how to determine what the number of jobs should be. In informal testing I have seen the compile time increase with the -j option is set for more than the number of threads plus 1.

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Moderator, Patron Provider

    @Not_Oles said: Sometimes people say the number of threads plus 1.

    Conceivably the plus 1 could increase the likelihood that there is a job ready to run as soon as a core is available to take it? Maybe having more than one job waiting slows things down because the queue needs to be managed?

    It is, but I rarely do that and just mash in numbers that I want and it seems to work fast and I am ok with that.
    But there are some cases where the machine OOMs so I lower the job count to something like 32 or 64. I never go below that.

    Hey Guys! I want to reinstall the server with FreeBSD. Has anybody tried the depenguin.me script? In the unlikely event that anybody has important files on the server, please copy them elsewhere asap. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks! Best wishes! Tom

    That's why it's generally scripted to be twice the cpu cores in most projects and it's optimal without ever crashing or ever needing to be changed. (Hint).

    Not yet deleted. Merely adjusted ssh. Might be deleted soon. Maybe to try https://depenguin.me.

    What I said above might bear repeating. I waited awhile after I said this, but after nobody logged in during the following 24 hours I imagined it might be okay to make an ssh adjustment. I probably will wait a little while longer prior to making additional adjustments.

    @yoursunny said: "MetalVPS deletes user accounts"

    Maybe this is a lowend.lol project and not a MetalVPS project?

    By the way, how do you know that anything has been deleted?

    What do you think about Netlink being added to FreeBSD?

    Best wishes and kindest regards!

    I see the reinstall announcement now, my apologies. Now I understand why my login did not work. I don't really expect anything since you provide access for free. So just thank you for that.

    Maybe for next time mention the people that have access using an @ so they get a forum notification?

    Logins from all over the place? Do you mean my dynamic IPs? And I might also have tried once or twice from my mobile data. I am a middle schooler, said that many times on this forum.

    Hi Guys!

    Thanks to @HostSailor I have this nice server in Amsterdam to review for Low End Box.

    As I mentioned above, the server is on its way from its original CentOS 7 install toward a FreeBSD installation. It has paused, momentarily, at Debian 10.

    If you want to share this server for awhile, maybe including root and control panel access, please let me know by posting here in this thread or by PM.

    Free. No charge. Just for fun.

    Best wishes and kindest regards!

    Tom
