    Lol. No. BTW, I think you missed it. But when you said you spend 40-50K on domain renewals annually, Ben thought you were talking on dollars :lol:

  • TrKTrK Member

    look at that we are already on 304 :joy:

    Someone's gotta break up this spam a bit.
    @dustinc can I get some more data transfer on invoice 5167765515?

    I also (of course) ran yabs.

    Here is the what a 2G looks like in NY.

    Basic System Information:

    Uptime : 0 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes
    Processor : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
    CPU cores : 1 @ 2999.998 MHz
    AES-NI : ✔ Enabled
    VM-x/AMD-V : ❌ Disabled
    RAM : 1.9 GiB
    Swap : 3.0 GiB
    Disk : 38.3 GiB
    Distro : Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
    Kernel : 6.1.0-9-amd64
    VM Type : KVM
    IPv4/IPv6 : ✔ Online / ❌ Offline

    It came preinstalled with almalinux. Probably alphabetically chosen. I am more familiar with debian. No hiccups during reinstallation.

    IPv4 Network Information:

    ISP : HostPapa
    ASN : AS36352 HostPapa
    Host : RackNerd LLC
    Location : Buffalo, New York (NY)
    Country : United States

    The disk performance isn't great, but is probably due in part to everyone hammering the disk with yabs and installs, but not what I expect from SSD.

    fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50) (Partition /dev/vda1):

    Block Size 4k (IOPS) 64k (IOPS)
    Read 65.15 MB/s (16.2k) 238.33 MB/s (3.7k)
    Write 65.28 MB/s (16.3k) 239.59 MB/s (3.7k)
    Total 130.43 MB/s (32.6k) 477.92 MB/s (7.4k)
    Block Size 512k (IOPS) 1m (IOPS)
    ------ --- ---- ---- ----
    Read 269.43 MB/s (526) 377.10 MB/s (368)
    Write 283.75 MB/s (554) 402.21 MB/s (392)
    Total 553.19 MB/s (1.0k) 779.31 MB/s (760)

    It looks like 1G port is performing as intended.

    iperf3 Network Speed Tests (IPv4):

    Provider | Location (Link) | Send Speed | Recv Speed

    The cpu performance seems to be dragging just a little bit. One might assume this is normal as the node populates.

    Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test:

    Test | Value
    |
    Single Core | 428
    Multi Core | 438
    Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/9606302
    YABS completed in 29 min 3 sec

    The CPU is a Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 with an expected single core score of 589, a difference of roughly 25% lower than hoped for. I wouldn't brag about it but at this time of year I don't think it's a cause for alarm.

    What does concern me though is that the CPU has reached the EOL and is no longer receiving patches or updates. I couldn't in good conscience recommend this as a production server.

    I won this VPS during the first giveaway in this thread. I just happened to log in at the right time before any bots woke up. A big thanks to dustin and the community at large for making these giveaways something to come back for year after year. I would certainly never complain about a gift. Its wonderful and I appreciate it, but the aged CPU is a relic that deserves a distinguished retirement behind a LAN and is of limited usefulness to me.

    If it were possible to move me to a node with a CPU that is current through 2025 that would great. If that is not possible I ask that you give this prize back to the pool for someone else who will enjoy it more.

    TL;DR

    Double bandwidth.
    Old cpu

    Ain't no party like a racknerd party.

    Regards,

    Interesting write up.. very thorough and good notes on cpu and disk. Perofmrance needs vary from person to person and vps are always opaque to some extent

    @noob404 said: Newegg also supports paying customs before ordering right?

    yeah they do but sometimes it's just a mess so i end up using my old service for them as well :smiley:

    Oh. Considering everything, still cheaper than getting it in India?

    @TrK said:

    @noob404 said: So, you just somehow got lucky?

    extremely lucky, and amex don't usually approve cc in rural areas and i believe my city wasn't in the approved list. idk how did it got through :joy:

    Lol. Maybe you had a good credit score to go with it from the beginning.

  • TrKTrK Member

    @noob404 said: Oh the new card you gonna get in March?

    yeah if the bank decides with LTF i am gonna treat myself a bottle of chivas or teacher's 50.

    You prolly won't be as enthusiastic about the laptop if you had that kinda money lying around.

  • TrKTrK Member

    @noob404 said: Lol. Maybe you had a good credit score to go with it from the beginning.

    the point is my city wasn't in the approved list, and they don't care about cibil tbh, they weren't even reporting to cibil or any other bureau before october :joy:

    I missed all of that. :'(

    If you want , I can pas this giveaway to you.

    Here's what you've won:

2 GB KVM VPS (New Year 2025):

1 vCPU Core
40 GB PURE SSD RAID-10 Storage
2 GB RAM
3500GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth
1Gbps Public Network Port
Full Root Admin Access
1 Dedicated IPv4 Address

New York Datacenter
FIRST 6 MONTHS FREE!
Renew's @ $18.29/Year (No obligation to renew, no gimmicks, no catch. Simply FREE)

    surprised this was only 1 vCPU. makes the BF deals look that much better though! New york is probably an expensive and populator location so that factors in
