Good guy, nice to talk to. That is all I know.
Unlike you, I do not sit on the Internet and on the site around the clock. And if you don't know, some European countries are still buying energy from Russia, bypassing official channels.
I still think there's something there, but it may not be above board. I have a few idling seedboxes. So I ask myself, what makes me idle them?
I underestimated the time I would need to set it up with them how I want it to be (some providers make this easier than others)
Something doesn't work and I just move on rather than open a ticket
My latency increased too much after purchase
So maybe the key to idling seedboxes is the same as the key to increasing chargebacks: fuck things up just enough that no one wants to actually use it.
Combine that with upselling to make it work and that just might be the ticket. Shame, though, that this game plan is fairly immoral. I enjoyed the thought experiment all the same.
Why wouldn't you just download the 720p version to begin with?
This is exactly what he is doing and this why he needs such smol dicks - 4K content is useless for him.
Bad English. A) 4k was irrelevant and pointless to even bring up,
"I'd have to..." would mean he knows this and avoids it already, whereas he's complaining he's been doing it ("I have to...").
You should at least have a meeting with your coordinator so you get to know the latest directives for propaganda, especially after a vacation.
There is no embargo on Russian gas, there never was one, Putler voluntarily cut his market share close to nothing in the EU, at least.
As for the oil, who cares, for as long as the price is low and discounts steep. There is a discount of about 20 dollars per barrel, 25-30% depending on how we calculate, all according to plan.
That being said, who is still buying Russian energy has a higher price. Finland has a similar price to Russia for power, in Greece, for example, the price is triple comparing to the Finnish one and even Putler's doggie, Orban, has higher prices than in Finland and even neighbouring Romania.
I know of providers who's whole business plan revolves around that. The irony is that they have excellent reputation, and they do get recommended fairly often. Or at least did in the past.
btw today there is a ~14cnt/kWh peak.
This thread has been interesting, thanks guys
Tbh, we have been considering going for spot pricing for the next DC, and just keep in hand always a 6month buffer for the potential of 5x energy costs. But that is risky, and ties up funds in an inefficient manner. Will need to do some very extensive analysis before decision is made.
Construction work started finally on the new DC
First steps, baby steps.
This is the first DC we are building 100% from scratch.
This is why you don't change pricing on the minutae of spot pricing: Price now 8.4cnt/kWh, 7day avg 4.21cnt/kWh
So it's again more expensive than last year. It's the average that counts, since servers consume power 24/7/365
lmao
if clients want you to instantly reflect their pricing on spot pricing
ask them to link their credit card and setup their price to automatically change by the hour based on spot pricing
your seedbox is now free
your seedbox is now 5 bucks
your seedbox is now tesla
your seedbox is free again
That is still very-very low. Russia has higher or close to such energy prices, in Romania it is double or triple as we still use fossil fuels for generation and most of that is imported.
He can't compare to Russia or Romania, he can only compare to what he paid historically.
but we can compare with prices on VPSes in Romania and Russia.
