It's a nice setup, No two environments are the same. Everyone builds and host their environments differently and cost can vary depending on where they get their hardware etc. I mean running FreeBSD vm's you can get away with 512MB ram and 1TB storage. You do know that these are all a matter of opinion and not set in stone. If someone wants a cheap vm they get what they pay for and so on.
I think you like to argue, and all I am doing is providing my opinion. If someone doesn't want to follow that model which obviously a lot of people don't then they shouldn't. It's all up to how they want to run their business. We should always consider our pricing and how much we can afford. I am not saying anyone should follow what I suggest to the tee but at least consider some kind of clean ratio.
Listen, sure, we all agree that no two environments are the same and that it all depends on the intended use, etc. There's no special need to say this.
But this isn't how you came across in your first three posts above when you wrote comments such as:
I pressed you on the origin of this "rule of thumb", but you appear to have backed down since and now say that no two environments are the same (sure, no doubt).
Holy buckets, I think you should seriously take a chill pill. You seem to be getting salty over something so simple. If you don't agree then don't follow it. It's my two cents and a period. I see that you feel the need to have the last word so go ahead and say something back snazzy and that'll be it. I will not respond but you will have won. Have a good day.
I'm fine.
In interaction, I simply try to take the other person's statements/pronouncements seriously, at least initially. Your opening statement/pronouncement about RAM/storage was new to me, so I just wanted to understand its origin. When asked/pressed about it, you ended up saying (after a few rounds of comments) that it's just your personal opinion, which is fine, but it didn't sound like (wasn't phrased as) "just a personal opinion" at the outset -- this is all.
If I sounded "salty", it was due to my impression that you kept moving the goalposts. I have no problem with personal opinions if they're clearly designated as such.
Well, Mr. bsdfire didn't last very long: 18 posts and he's banned. I guess that it was for spamming in another thread (perhaps ban evasion as well). Good riddance.
fire .... 😂
Wait what? 1GB of ram per 100GB of disk? Huh? What did I miss
You didn't miss anything! There's nothing worth talking about in this connection. Anyway, @bsdfire is now banned.
If you run ZFS the rule of thumb is 1 GB RAM per 1 TB disk. Perhaps he got confused with that?
ZFS is disk caching, of course need big ram for pool, index, meta etc.
Was bsdfire another incarnation of bsdguy?
I don't think so (for a number of reasons).
have been using @cociu for storage servers and personal vpn. Other than support tickets services are good
They have a great improvement in tickets recently due to new members.
we have change in this ...
Sounds perfect then.
No option for OVZ7?
Why currency dose does not have $USD?
It's the minimum ram to do basic stuff I am doing, basic processing, which anything you do like zip file compress and uncompress faster, which is very basic actually, and just in case some software requirements are the basic 2GB RAM, otherwise, everything will be very slow.
Thanks, I do not want NVMe or SSD hard drive just basic hard drive would do to me,> @bsdfire said:
Yes, totally agreed if so I would need 200GB Storage as well with the 2GB RAM.
price is a bit high, but thanks.> @seriesn said:
Yes, as a backup server, I do require at least 2GB or 3GB to have some basic processing done fast.
