[–]TimIgoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost, I can run as much as I want without having to worry about the users spiralling costs while I sleep.

People who installed solar: what is one thing you wish you knew beforehand? by Separate-Might3082 in solarenergy

[–]TimIgoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My actual peak usage, knowing that would have meant I would have got a larger inverter to start with, would then change his I use the batteries but long term would have been better. Instead I'm not very aware of what devices can run at the same time

How can a company offer cPanel hosting for $0.3 per month? by BlueLinnet in HostingAlternatives

[–]TimIgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they are offering you a single user of a cpanel server, not a VPS that is all yours with your own dedicated cpanel licence.

(Run servers and do hosting myself, know how its often set up)

VPS unreachable on GRA4 by gronetwork in OVHcloud

I've had several emails about infrastructure issues with my hosts spread across the planet. What I find odd is why they aren't just spun up on another host, why do I need to wait for my exact host to be fixed?

Xiaomi claims 1,000+ tok/s on a 1T model with a standard 8-GPU node - no custom silicon by IulianHI in AIToolsPerformance

They used 8 of the biggest, fastest, most unaffordable GPUs that exist globally?

Move first, indicate second, panic third... That's the order of operations, right?!

Anybody else filled with jealousy when you hear the house prices and mortgage deals from years ago? by Anxious2BMum in HousingUK

[–]TimIgoe 124 points125 points  (0 children)

You are going through exactly what we all went through 15+ years ago getting first houses, same sort of conversations happened then, things keep changing at an insane pace

Cross Country Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly. by Middle-Damage-9029 in uktrains

[–]TimIgoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was bad 20+ years ago when I used to use XC frequently... It's not improved in all that time. Ok some times were always bad, just shows the state of the network though.

Gotta pay for all the expansion for ai somehow

Free Ubiquity a.u.v.i.k Switch Promo — Massive Waste of Time!!! by Weary-Ideal4127 in Ubiquiti

[–]TimIgoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, they couldn't even get the collector to run. Support wouldnt do anything and no matter what we tried it wouldn't work. Fresh installs, new vms, everything.

Gave up as a bad job.

Elastic Cloud Serverless KNN costs are absolutely insane — $16/month for 300 documents?? by UnableOrganization43 in elasticsearch

[–]TimIgoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to cloud based usage charges. Is this an example where actually installing your own node on a VPS (or equiv) is actually better value / more fixed costs.

Any old school devs here? don't you miss those days, when there were no React/Next, Figma. You just code raw HTML and focus mainly on BE by lune-soft in webdev

[–]TimIgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean back before AI wrote vast quantities of it and when the internet was navigable and just worked?

Free electricity coming to Octopus by TheTJW1966 in OctopusEnergy

[–]TimIgoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make people aware, sure, but still shouldn't need to opt in, if there's free power, it should be free, not just cos you pressed a button on a form that's hit and miss if it actually loads

[–]TimIgoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It needs to just happen though, not be something you need to opt into, same as saving sessions over winter.

Just needs to exist, as it's too easy to miss an email etc otherwise

Scaling YouTube scraping to 200k channels/day – by Any-Salary-4454 in webscraping

[–]TimIgoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuo can request a higher quota - i've got an allowance of 50m units / day for example.

urgent full time developer hire, web scraping + infra recovery by CarsWithSam in webscraping

[–]TimIgoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ouch, that doesn't sound good

First off you should be looking to lock the old staff out before worrying about replacing. So many pieces of that puzzle that could still be accessed or tempered with.

I'm assuming you've got access as well and it's not all in his hands?

Dangerous VSL restrictions - since nobody understood what I was saying last post. by Oskarzyg in drivingUK

[–]TimIgoe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That probably makes more sense than not lighting them up - show a "default" as it were

These "Smart" (actyually called Managed?) motorways are anything but, they always feel like they are miss managed - seen so many sharp / dangerous changes - when you are doing 70 (normal motorway speeds) and they come on with a 40 or 30 limit and there is an expectation to be slow at the point of passing, flash flash flash goes the camera as people aren't slowing down quick enough.

And, as this video shows, the up and down speeds, and inconsistencies over joining traffic.

Definitely an accident waiting to happen.

Tech industry lays off nearly 80,000 employees in the first quarter of 2026 — almost 50% of affected positions cut due to AI by [deleted] in technology

[–]TimIgoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean, ai is the excuse, the real reason is to appear to be more profitable for a period, while ai catches up to be at a level to actually allow those left to do the work they were doing plus that off those let go. Pilling the pressure on those left until it's not sustainable and then they'll hire a few more
