    Transferring vps is a good thing, a lot of time I get legendary deals with no use it is better if someone else can use it

    At least I am trying not to take any new VMs if I don't have a use case (at least planned) for it.

    I guess, that is a bit influenced by the fact that I have a home server where I can host a lot of temporary stuff.

    I need to get a home server it seems

    Mine is not too special. i5-11500, 96GB RAM, RaidZ2 over 4x6TB HDD, GTX3060 12GB (for playing with ComfyUI). It is not power hungry, but also I am free to do anything I want :)

    How is your electricity bill, assuming, it runs 24/7?

    80-90Eur for everything. I mean, I have 3 children, so a lot of laundry, food making - electric stove, sometimes 3d printing, etc... So my "server room", I would say, costs me 10-15Eur/month. But having the same specs in some DC would cost me much more :)

    Oh then, it's better than I thought. BTW, any reason why you chose an 11500 over some server-specific CPU like the Xeon series? Pardon me for my curiosity. I recently got into home servers and OpenWrt, etc. So, I am curious.

    @noob404 said: I'd never use them. The basic premise with winning a flash sale or a giveaway, for me, is the thrill that comes with it, and a sense of achievement that comes post winning or getting it.

    You could get the sense of achievement if you create the bot by yourself :D

    LOL! I lack the expertise for that. It'd be fun to look into it though, not for sales purposes, but, for automating a lot of repetitive stuff that I do on a regular basis. What language would you recommend that I pick up for automation, apart from AI-based ones.

    I guess, for automating something, easiest would be Python. But it is personal preference. I would take Java just because of my experience with it :)

    I see, Python has been on my bucket list for quite a long time now. Guess, it's time to pick it up.

    That still might have cost a lot , hopefully I can win a pc from this racknerd thread let's see , I don't think I will though

    At least currently you are the one to win. The problem with winning such prize for me would be the shipping to EU and taxes... :(

    Is it that bad in EU, given we, in India have had experiences of being slapped with 150% of the MRP as customs duties alone?

    For anything below 150Eur (including shipping costs) its just VAT (21% in Lithuania), anything above takes same VAT + some more percentage depending on the type of the item. So PC would cost a lot to get hands on :)

    Well, it is more power efficient, easy to get hands on, my cooling solution is AIO CoolerMaster, so it is silent. Xeon will take more power and you will have difficulties to cool it silently :)

    I am aiming for the iPad Mini for this purpose alone, so that I can have it shipped hoping for it to pass through customs unhindered. Or, have someone from US bring it for me. Anything bigger like the Gaming PC woudl be a hassle.

    I'm not sure if @dustinc would go an extra mile to make the dreams come true. There would be a possibility to get the item without import taxes - instead of sending the item from US to EU, if @dustinc would order the item on lets say Amazon DE, where the items are already in EU, with shipment address of the receiver, no additional costs would land on the prize winner. But... EU prices are a bit higher than US prices, so that would increase RN expenses. :(

    That'd be very convenient for you. Let's hope for the best then.

    I won a 1.5 GB Ryzen NVMe VPS last year, but I've been eyeing the new 2.5 GB KVM VPS, which seems to have some higher features (2 vCPU cores vs. 1 vCPU core, 40 GB storage vs. 30 GB, higher ram of course), and both are the same price. What are some example use cases where the Ryzen VPS would be better? I'm also wondering if the Intel VPS's SSD is NVMe too like the Ryzen's.

    Thinking about which one to apply the ram upgrade to.

    Server CPUs are made for DC, so you can hammer them 24/7 and have less fear of it to break. Also, Server CPUs support ECC memory, i5 on the other hand doesn't. But if you don't host anything mission critical where one bit can loose you millions, I don't see a problem with desktop hardware on my home server.

    Think about the guy who wins the 2nd prize -https://www.amazon.com/Arcade1Up-PAC-Man-Deluxe-Arcade-Machine/dp/B0BYQNPTCF, esp. if they are non-US residents.

    But, if they are collectors, I believe this is an item that'd only increase in value, for the retro thingy.

    i had both, Ryzen and Intel. Loading wordpress was 2x-3x faster on ryzen + nvme.
    for vpn or other stuff ssd and intel is sufficient.

    Thanks for clarifying. Right now, I have a "home server" with Jellyfin (Docker) and Samba, set on my Android box (Amlogic CPU). Please don't tease me, I am learning.

    For my small home server I am using Lenovo ThinkCentre m93p Tiny. i5-4570T, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD. It was cheap (like 100Eur 2 years ago, used), it basically doesn't use power. :) So I would say it would be a great upgrade for your home server too. Just look into refurbished local stores, you might get something great there. ;)

    I won a 1.5 GB Ryzen NVMe VPS last year, but I've been eyeing the new 2.5 GB KVM VPS, which seems to have some higher features (2 vCPU cores vs. 1 vCPU core, 40 GB storage vs. 30 GB, higher ram of course), and both are the same price. What are some example use cases where the Ryzen VPS would be better? I'm also wondering if the Intel VPS's SSD is NVMe too like the Ryzen's.

    Thinking about which one to apply the ram upgrade to.

    What was your configuration last year?

    I have it running CyberPanel on AlmaLinux for a WordPress blog and a few static sites.

    Think about the guy who wins the 2nd prize -https://www.amazon.com/Arcade1Up-PAC-Man-Deluxe-Arcade-Machine/dp/B0BYQNPTCF, esp. if they are non-US residents.

    But, if they are collectors, I believe this is an item that'd only increase in value, for the retro thingy.

    Shipping and taxes would kill me :)

    Amazon DE though...

    Anyways, for this one, I don't have space for it to store, so I guess I would prefer taking the account credits :)

    Damn! That difference. That'd cost me almost double of what you have in DE, if I were to buy it from Amazon India, given its available.

    Transferring vps is a good thing, a lot of time I get legendary deals with no use it is better if someone else can use it

    At least I am trying not to take any new VMs if I don't have a use case (at least planned) for it.

    I guess, that is a bit influenced by the fact that I have a home server where I can host a lot of temporary stuff.

    I need to get a home server it seems

    Mine is not too special. i5-11500, 96GB RAM, RaidZ2 over 4x6TB HDD, GTX3060 12GB (for playing with ComfyUI). It is not power hungry, but also I am free to do anything I want :)

    How is your electricity bill, assuming, it runs 24/7?

    80-90Eur for everything. I mean, I have 3 children, so a lot of laundry, food making - electric stove, sometimes 3d printing, etc... So my "server room", I would say, costs me 10-15Eur/month. But having the same specs in some DC would cost me much more :)

    Oh then, it's better than I thought. BTW, any reason why you chose an 11500 over some server-specific CPU like the Xeon series? Pardon me for my curiosity. I recently got into home servers and OpenWrt, etc. So, I am curious.

    Well, it is more power efficient, easy to get hands on, my cooling solution is AIO CoolerMaster, so it is silent. Xeon will take more power and you will have difficulties to cool it silently :)

    I see. I guess it was my misconception that Xeon or Server-specific CPUs were more power efficient than Desktop CPUs, since they are esp. made for that purpose.

    Server CPUs are made for DC, so you can hammer them 24/7 and have less fear of it to break. Also, Server CPUs support ECC memory, i5 on the other hand doesn't. But if you don't host anything mission critical where one bit can loose you millions, I don't see a problem with desktop hardware on my home server.

    Thanks man. I believe I can find the same specs for that price or maybe lower in the local market if I look enough. But, it's the electricity prices that have me worried. That's why I am sticking to ARM for now.
