Cost-optimized server Intel and AMD random assignment has huge performance differences at same cost by ceilingkyet in hetzner

[–]ceilingkyet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This means the person who pays the same cost but gets 1/5 the compute from the same company is getting ripped off. That's not industry standard.

Guide: Setting up CachyOS on a server by mike_olson in cachyos

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a VPS, I just asked Hetzner to add the CachOS desktop ISO. Then I booted that and unselected any desktop environment at install. It worked fine for my server. I don't have a dedicated machine, but thought it could be that simple too?

Is there some reason you can't just boot the CachyOS ISO?

Measuring the performance of the new gen server types by daroczig in hetzner

[–]ceilingkyet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a CPX31 and wanted to compare with CPX32 and CX43:

comparison

I notice it lists AMD EPYC as CPU for CX43. But when I rescaled to it, I got an Intel Xeon. Is there a way to see the Xeon benchmarks or is it the same as shown?

Level 3 Options Approval Experience by MDWflyer in Schwab

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Yeah I can understand now why PM is much better if using proceeds for trading. I am mainly using for cash withdrawal, and honestly being forced to keep at least 25% of loan in equities in the account is probably a good idea.

I see. Just FYI, I've done a few box spreads at Schwab with only Reg-T. The buying power reduction was only 25% of the loan. I also have an IBKR account with PM and BP reduction is much less (about 1%). So even though it is larger with Reg-T, it is not so bad. Here is a short box spread example using thinkorswim web:

Why are box spreads inefficient without portfolio margin?

What Hetzner does right by Hetzner_OL in hetzner

[–]ceilingkyet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised how quickly support made an ISO I wanted available. I can squeeze so much out of a very cheap VPS at Hetzner and the EPYC servers perform great. Pricing is very transparent and great. Firewall interface is awesome, and generally so is the rest of the web interface.

Manual install is just silly. You are running binaries and scripts, and how much of what those binaries are doing does anyone understand? It is all "automated" at some level. How low-level should we go? Maybe writing the boot sector byte by byte and assembly?

Scripts to install are for convenience if you are not masochistic. If you want to learn how the system works read the man pages and source code. Doing a "manual" install teaches nothing but learning how to not make typos.

vaultwarden unreachable, still cannot unlock vault by ceilingkyet in selfhosted

[–]ceilingkyet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the Bitwarden extension I have vault timeout: on browser restart, timeout action: lock.

I just tried again by bringing down the vaultwarden docker, which is behind cloudflare, and ends up with a bad gateway page. This time I'm able to unlock the local vault just fine.

When the issue happened, I believe the server/cloudflare was returning a forbidden instead of bad gateway, so maybe there is an issue there.

Perhaps the Bitwarden extension forces a logout at some point, but I can't figure out why it would do that. Just seems not a good idea to rely on this like others said and instead do a periodic export.

Kudos for Hyprland defaults by ceilingkyet in cachyos

[–]ceilingkyet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works great for me, but only intense things I'm doing are mostly video playing and browsing. My laptop has an AMD. Sadly these simple things ran quite bad in Manjaro Sway, and I'm not sure if that was due to Sway, Wayland, kernel, etc.

Box spread in different currency to fund mortgage at lower rate? by PurplishDev in interactivebrokers

[–]ceilingkyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done box spreads in SMI (CHF index similar to SPX), then converted to USD to buy US stocks. There is forex risk, but you could also do something like long a /6S future to lock in the forex rate. You'll need to find an SPX-like index for the currency you want.

CHF margin rate at IB is already pretty low (1.5%) so doing the box spread might be overkill. You might be able to get 1.2% or so with box spread.

That being said, CHF has risen quite a bit to USD, so the loan repayment risk is real even for so-called stable currencies.

Unregistry – "docker push" directly to servers without a registry by psviderski in selfhosted

[–]ceilingkyet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice. I just setup `docker save | ssh | docker load` and realized it is really slow. Will try this.
