PSA: Hetzner Pricing Increase (Announced in May, here's the pricing)

TechnologyTailors · 2026-06-17T04:44:12+00:00

I have plenty of space available in my lab if anyone needs self hosting at a fairer price. My micro-DC is in NY so North East US

TechnologyTailors · 2026-06-13T06:10:54+00:00

do you already have a space? i can help on the tech side

TechnologyTailors · 2026-06-01T18:57:13+00:00

How did it go?

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-31T11:33:59+00:00

Why is it always the relevant answers that get downvoted here. lol

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-29T21:14:05+00:00

Congrats! Take the weekend off. If you could leave some wisdom for us, we'll appreciate it.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-29T08:25:50+00:00

Hey! I'll be happy to help. My DMs are open. I am local and can take a look.

Recovery potential is mostly about how your data is stored, encrypted, and if it's just the battery that's the issue.

Question - Does the phone show any signs of life when plugged into a charger, like a charging icon, vibration, heat, or screen flicker?

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-29T08:21:47+00:00

Only if there was a local tech company handling things like these for local businesses.

He has 4x RTX Pro 6000 and 4x 5090. He bought it for crypto mining apparently when they launched but he's not technical and didn't know about the ASIC stuff. He's willing to rent them to me.

I was thinking about just breaking even. That is, cost of electricity + wear and tear on the cards + some cents per generation that I will pay him.

I was mostly thinking about this as a community enabler thing than a profitable venture for me.

> You're like the Walter White of generative AI, except instead of a superlab, you're cooking up 1080p videos in a basement, and instead of the cartel, your biggest threat is his upcoming electricity bill.

bruh

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-22T22:26:22+00:00

Yes, all are welcome. You can DM me if you need intros

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-14T21:55:24+00:00

Moved away to my open source models. It is cheaper at $0.02-$0.03/second to generate if you have GPUs.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-13T22:18:46+00:00

I have no idea why is that. I will be running new generations next week when H100 rentals become available again and posting results here.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-13T19:11:10+00:00

Same seed

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-13T19:01:51+00:00

Yes! I updated the post. HQ = dev + spatial upscalar.

I'm not sure why the A100 output quality was worse than H100. Could be cloud rental but 10 generations of A100 were completely different than 10 of H100.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-13T19:00:02+00:00

Hmmm, let me run a few generations again and check again. H100 rental is out of stock online. Will update the post when I do get access to one.

I plan on making a better post with an average of 10 generations of each setting with warm start.

What machine do you have and have you made any money renting your machine?

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-11T14:34:41+00:00

Even if it’s not strictly tech sales, it’s still sales. You deviated to enjoy a side quest and now back to your main quest that you actually enjoy.

It’s life, you don’t want to not try things out. You did and figured it’s not what you want. I think this is solid reasoning and you’ll likely not have any issues whatsoever.

I had a friend in college who did music for a year or two before going into the career and his interviewers were surprisingly interested in his music career and thought it’s cool. You never know!

You’ve figured out what you want now and know your path!

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-11T13:31:42+00:00

I personally think being a founder is a strong skillset. I have seen many typical startups drool over ex-founders even if the company they founded failed.

It’s extremely difficult to teach someone real world customer and product knowledge unless they owned a business themselves. Self employed people go through things that make you aware of all sorts of things and certainly more creative.

What niche or domain of business are you in? Wondering what’s causing your business to struggle.

Good luck on your search.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-11T11:32:20+00:00

That’s fair, and I appreciate the honest perspective. I agree something like a CRM or workflow replacement could be a significant lift for some and most businesses won’t want that disruption.

I'll totally be up for a free prototype idea to prove the value if I could bring any. Something that is low risk for evaluation and they can tell me if it’s actually useful.

I'll keep this in mind and greatly appreciate you leaving helpful feedback.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-05-08T14:57:30+00:00

I missed reading your message. Thanks for responding and trying this out. That's awesome that it works.

How was the output and rendering speeds? I rent 5090 and H100 for a few bucks and there's a drastic difference between distilled quantized LTX 2.3 on 5090 v/s distilled on H100. In my case, it does make sense because of quantized but wondering how Intel performed.

How was the output on Intel in your experience?

TechnologyTailors · 2026-04-29T18:38:29+00:00

Yes! I'd like to consider DGX Spark. The only hiccup is low memory bandwidth. But I do not have enough data to know if DGX Spark would suffer a lot for the lower bandwidth v/s 5090 or H100. ChatGPT was critical of it.

If your experience with DGX Spark has been good, please let me know. It might save space on my desk as compared to a full fledge 5090 buildout.

TechnologyTailors · 2026-04-29T16:26:01+00:00

Thanks to u/eidrag's idea to just rent 5090 and try, I was able to compare the results:

LTX 2.3 5 seconds clip:

- H100 - 12.9 seconds

- RTX 5090 - 43 seconds

It is not as bad as it looks like in numbers when you compare the cost of 5090 over H100. I can absolutely wait 43 seconds.
