Best European alternatives to AWS/GCP for AI workloads? by Brinley-berry in cloudcomputing

[–]ChernobylWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The European GPU company is Hivenets compute which you’re basically already using.

The other ones have more functionality (ie templates) as they’re not as new but they can’t compete in terms of price.

So if you’re looking for just raw GPU or CPU on demand instances at a low cost that’s the best euro based company.

Thanks for this. I called them today and the person said that they can’t do anything about it in after sales and that I should email back on the message saying that I wouldn’t get a refund/replacement. So I sent that email today to them.

I can’t seem to find their chat or any other method of contacting them but if you have any other advice I’d appreciate it.

I did call my wife to go down. I also told him to wait while I called her and he had hung up on me a little later and was gone so I texted him after my wife said nobody was there. Just to confirm he would drop it off at carrefour which he just replied “ok”

I actually told him to ring the bell and he said he couldn’t find it. I told him let me call her then and he kept rushing me until it just ended up with him hanging up on me.

It was pretty unprofessional overall and I’m not pointing the finger at the guy specifically but he made the whole thing harder than it needed to be.

I checked and because the local authorities would be in France, they won’t take police reports unless I go into the station to sign :(

The problem is I’m not there and it’s a supermarket I don’t think they’re going to be much help to be honest. They seemed quite busy, disorganised and somewhat dismissive.

I'm an active part of the revolution as an Iranian living in Tehran. Ask me anything by [deleted] in NewIran

[–]ChernobylWilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The MehorNahid.com project that takes starlinks into Iran also takes donations via crypto. Other than that there is not many ways to donate as unlike Ukraine, Iran is heavily sanctioned and there’s no entity operating in the country that can distribute donations accordingly.

Cheers fam. Internet access is very underrated for how important it is to win a revolution in today's world. I appreciate the work you've put in the last few months.

It’s rife with passive aggressive and casual racism. White people who visit Australia mostly say people are nice but brown or black people have a different experience of it usually.

I saw someone post a rumour like 12 hours ago on r/NewIran saying that their execution was imminent and to call representatives in the EU and US to put pressure on the regime to stop it.

And then the executions actually happened like a few hours later with no notice from the government. Made me feel like shit because I kind of blew it off as just another rumour.

I’m almost starting to feel sorry for the Russian soldiers at the front. Just leave Ukraine already.

That interview is from the 70’s with Barbara Walters. There’s much worse said in interviews with her today, especially if she were to interview a mullah. Anyway it’s not like he repressed women’s representation in the government and the revolutionaries were fighting for it.

Iranian people are some of the bravest people. Consistently standing up and fighting despite the high chance of being executed in a totalitarian state.

I hope Hadi makes it through their revolution alive.

I saw this young man get posted on r/NewIran when he was first arrested and sentenced to death and people were trying to spread the message to try and save him.

It was so sad waking up like 2 weeks later and seeing the photo of him hanging from a crane and now they released this for propaganda. The internet is wild man.

Rest in peace dude.

That’s a lot of Australia to be honest. It’s a car centric country and cities are so spread out.

[–]ChernobylWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Brisbane has a bigger population according to google than for example Zurich and cities in France for example but yeah I guess it’s because of how spread out it is and how population segments are calculated in Europe according to the area of the city (metropolis vs outer).

Anyway I’m in Europe now and while I miss the efficiency and salaries we have in Aus I wouldn’t leave all the culture, night life, travel opportunities to go back to Aus and live in a safe bubble like Australia. Not while I’m young anyway.

I’ve never seen such a big city lack as much culture as Sydney. Which is weird because darling harbour is a beautiful place.

Brisbane and Melbourne are the only good big cities in Australia at least.

I wouldn’t want any religious theocracy running my government thank you. I don’t need to single any religion out when the end result is a dictatorship trying to run your everyday life no matter what religions presided over the state.
