    You guys do Yabs?

    naaah.... only SPAAAAAAAM a lot of it at that ...........

    Unfortunate... I need a RN yabs for a small box. Maybe like 1G, 1Core whatever else.

    Can get you one tomorrow, cause I think I do have one of those, i.e., if youa re serious.

    Yes, cool.

    I am serious. I collect tiny VMS so I can flex it to the gang.

    Okay, gonna check tomorrow and get you the Yabs if I do have the VPS with 1gb/1vcore

    can do for you right now, but i don't have any 1gb 1vcore with me, only 2gb 2vcore or more, will it work? also it's compiling MYSQL right now so you will have to wait for an hour so :smile:

    Big=better.

    cool, aborted the compilation :joy: yabs is running right now :smile:

    BTW why compiling it when there are readymade packages for it? Compiling a custom one removing unnecessary features and options ?

    it's certainly that and compiled packages tends to perform better :wink:

    My vps is basically idle at the moment.

    The only VPS you have?

    Yes

    Waiting for a good project to make good use of the VPS?

    Yeah. I just don't know what to code.
    My wayback machine project is fun, but if i would actually deploy it, it would require a lot of storage. And i primarily make it to learn more about web crawling and puppeteer.

    Oh that's cool. Yah, wayback machine would require a hell lot of storage.

    Well one thing that is different than the WA, is that i only save full-page screenshots instead of the whole page with all the assets.

    Oh so a waybackscreenshots. Sounds coolm.in that case you could compress the images using various tools. Infact, @TrK is working on a commercial image optimisation CDN that might be of help for your project

    Yeah average image size is currently around 25-100 kb. Small pages are around 25-50 kb, while large pages can easily reach 300 kb.

    You can bring them down a bit more.

    How? I am currently using the avif image format.

    I am not sure right now. But, I did work on this a few years ago. BTW, how are you compressing currently?

    First, the page screenshot is using png, then i compress to webp and then i compress that webp image to avif, but this only saves like 5-30 kb at the moment. Also the avif compression takes like 30 seconds.
    I am using the nodejs sharp library. I will send my code soon.

    That's quite impressive. Just to test though, try running the original image through tinypng.com and see if you are already able to get it a lower size than your final compressed image, if you haven't already. Just to confirm.

    Will try that. Don't have my laptop with me at the moment.

    Sure, let me know when you have. I am interested in this as well

    Oh by the way, the crawler already has added 800k urls in the db. About 5 of them are actually screenshotted (as that part is still work in progress).

    Oh I see. The crawler coded in Node as well?

    Yes 😅

    Oh so you are a Node head. I love PHP. Want to learn something new. Confused between Python and Node.

    I would say python seems like a "better" thing for this but really all languages are capable of doing almots anything now with the amount of libraries they have

    Yah, also heard that with PHP8.3, PHP has gotten really fast and better. So, maybe I should stick with PHP and better my knowledge of it.

    i have nightmares from using php back in school. I havent touched it since then. Maybe a couple charity websites

    I kinda have gotten so used to it that I don't feel like migrating to anything else until everyone just decides to dump PHP.

    its also easier to not have to learn a new language so makes sense

    Yah especially since I feel strongly that PHP is here to stay for the foreseeable future. Don't wanna jinx it though.

    I know this is possible because I've already saw deals (not flash sale ones!) with these specs and price, but I just can't find/contact these providers...

    something is bound to come up in the megathread i think. Get some people to bandwagon on your asks

    okaaa thanks

    Do any of you actually have servers with RN?

    i have 3 vps. 2 2.5GB and 1 1GB vps. One is monitoring, one reading crypto data, one idles. Need to have an idler at all times

    But can be 25 dollars max too...

    One sure shot way to increase that budget is get RN credits

    They have storage VPS deals?

    Not exactly sure. Here's another idea. There are reseller hosting offers on this thread from time to time as well. Win one of these. Make some money selling hosting to friends and use it to maybe colocate with RackNerd.

    I also thought about selling hosting to friends even grabbed one offer but no one wanted to buy even though they all are cs students :smile:

    students have no mooney! :)

    Depends. I had a decent amount to spend in uni. Worked a lot at the time to cover housing, utility and tuition. Was tough but doable

    Also, i am not yet sure where to store the screenshots.

    s3? Preferably b2 with CF in front?

    Wouldn't cost that a lot when storing thousands of screenshots?

    thousands are easy, how many can you fit inside 1TB?

    If i would store screenshots of all pages that are currently on the internet (about 5 billion according to google), i would need about 250 TB of storage. This assumes the average image size is 50 KB. ChatGPT did the math for me.

    i mean will you need to screenshot each and every website from the get go? it's something to take care when you grow. as for 250TB it's gonna cost you dearly if you decide to go for it right now :joy:

    That's why i was talking about compression earlier. But currently i wont save any wikipedia pages (except for the english one) and related sites (like wikisource/wikibooks etc).
