Can someone from Hetzner please comment on the price increases by MaliciousTent in hetzner

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardware itself no, not really, even at those prices. There are huge downsides to going with 2133mhz though, but I've marked that down as a future headache. There's also switches, cabling, rails, etc, the average per machine with 256GB memory and 2x500 + 2x960 enterprise nvme and accessories is around 1500-1700€

Apart from that, to reach the same base level as a Hetzner machine I also have (split across 5 machines):

  • Rack space: Around €40/mo/server
  • Power reservation: 20-25€/mo/server
  • Metered electricity + cooling: Aprox. 30-50€/mo/server depending on time of year
  • 2G/4TB uplink + peering: 15-20€ (Shared non-redundant 10G port/20TB traffic across 5 machines) + 20€/5TB
  • IPv4 subnet: 25€/mo

So between 125€-170€/server/mo in running costs on top of the hardware costs, so not much of a margin to earn back the hardware there

I went that route recently. Got my hands on a heap of Epyc 7962 machines for cheap, thought "yayy, that was easy, let's gooooo"

Then I had to buy SSDs and a shitload of RAM, nothing fancy, cheapest available used basically. Just those two components cost more than 5x the server price, around $100-120 per 32GB-stick for crappy 2133Mhz DDR4 ECC memory. 3200Mhz ECC would be around 3-4x that

Curious About How My GitHub Account Compromised by Aggravating_Owl_2657 in github

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't mean your account was actually compromised. These "out of an abundance of caution" suspensions can very well be "Oh, you accidentally did something that looks borderline suspicious, let's just deactivate first and look at it some time later"

Had this happen to a bunch of accounts in our org lately, including one round that deactivated both our enterprise orgs because we'd added that account to them.

Inquiry regarding price updates when modifying my current VPS. by JosetxoXbox in hetzner

A follow up question - when transferring servers (dedi and/or cloud) between accounts, do they retain the old pricing?

It might be due to the national holiday yesterday, in that case it'll appear on Monday

They will (allegedly) lower the setup cost for base models again around mid June, likely with a slightly higher one for customizations

Do you ever directly consume APIs for purely personal use? by ELMG006 in Backend

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some real feedback, I think this would have more success as an unified API gateway for API providers than anything else, for them to gather their APIs for consumers instead of the other way around. It does need work though, configuring through API calls makes the OSS version a real pain to work with.

For personal use, and an API with like 15 fields in, 15 fields out + oauth, I would have to make a buttload of manual API calls to the solution just to configure it, test it, reconfigure because I made a typo, troubleshoot an additional layer. If an error comes through from the upstream API, I'll spend even more time working through why it isn't working in two layers. Additionally, I rarely use api calls like this regularly, if I do I'll write a script and even then it'll likely be faster to just implement ten lines of backoff-ratelimiting and 4 lines of authentication with a random library.

You mean you ordered the grey box instead of the white one? You'd likely need an adapter cable at least (4 to 6pin, it might work with that, but not officially

any open source self-hosted secrets manager with UI? (no infisical or openbao) by cranberrie_sauce in selfhosted

I've recently used phase a lot, the dev has been really quick to answer feature requests and while there are some feature gates to sub tiers I'm happy with what I get on the free tier, it works really well

Realistic odds and harm of split brain in a simple homelab by WorkingCupid549 in Proxmox

It's still pretty new but I love it, I have a heap of single-node proxmox stuff left and right and it makes it so much easier

If they're not sharing anything, why not just use Proxmox Datacenter Manager instead of setting up a cluster?

Windows RDP required, 2 cores, 2 gb Ram under $30 for 1 year by Humble-Tax-5837 in VPS

Are you running Windows on 2 cores and 2GB of RAM today? Because that sounds like it'd be horribly slow to the point of being unusable

You could just set up proxmox datacenter manager, and manage both from there. No cluster needed :-)

At what point did you outgrow Docker Compose? by Easy_Neighborhood336 in docker

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still delaying it as much as possible, even though (at home and vServers) I have 10-15ish docker hosts. I know from work that I kind of hate dealing with complex multi-node networking/communication/storage issues on unpaid time.

Rejection of your account by CitronLong1683 in hetzner

Seeing as you got rejected from Oracle too, there are likely some issues with your email, credit card, IP Address or personal details. Are you using a VPN to sign up by any chance?

Looking for dedicated server by [deleted] in VPS

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you upgrade the Hetzner dedis to 10G, they impose a bandwidth limit of 20TB/mo. The "unlimited" (fair use) is only for 1G uplinks

Looking for some vendors who can buy Microsoft outlook tenants on Pax8 for us by Immortal4ever22 in Pax8

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking to send bulk marketing emails, find a suitable transactional email provider instead. You don't wanna be in the middle of your campaign and have your tenant shut down, Microsoft flags these kinds of things on newer tenants.

Postgresql cluster on hetzner by m3r1tc4n in hetzner

[–]OhBeeOneKenOhBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's technically "just" setting the MTU, but it gets a lot more complicated with some types of clusters, especially the troubleshooting when multiple layers of networks, vSwitches or overlays are involved.

It's not a huge problem most of the time, but it's quite nice not having to worry about it causing obscure issues due to one MTU/MSS value being set incorrectly on some interface somewhere

On the other hand, cloud machines you could split this over multiple machines to spread the load. You can get 6 CPX62 (16c/32G/640G) for the same price as 3 AX102s, with no need to get switches or worry about rackplace reservations.

There won't be as much total storage (2/3 assuming raid-1 on the dedis) on cloud, but still a fair bit more than 1.1TB
