I don’t find that to be all that impressive.
I’m immediately saving money with the server I built out of mostly used parts and threw in my closet compared to VPS solutions.
The only reason it’s near 100% utilization is because $5 VPS instances have barely any computing power assigned to them.
For the same price as one game server I’m running something like 5-8 VMs at once. I can utilize 128GB of RAM and 6/12 real CPU cores (Ryzen 3600).
- Aeolun 2y agoCompletely unrelated, but I’m surprised how many people actually use the Ryzen 3600, from desktops to servers, it seems to be everywhere.
- terribleperson 2y agoI expect to see the same thing from the 5600. With AMD still selling 5000-series CPUs and their prices so low, they must be incredibly tempting to anyone who needs a lot of CPUs.
- throwaway2037 2y agoWhat is your annual electricity cost for that server in your closet?
- christophilus 2y agoI’d like to know this too, along with how you mitigate traffic spikes while using the internet connection as both your home internet and your public internet.
- dangus 2y agoThere are no traffic spikes, it’s not serving web content to the public internet. I probably should have been a little more clear that I don’t think VPS systems are bad or anything, it’s just that they aren’t well-suited to game servers and hardware in my closet is well-suited to it. I was spending almost 20 euros a month for a single Hetzner cloud instance that performed worse than all my gaming VMs on my closet computer. But if I was serving a public website or app I would probably not want it going through my home internet.
- dangus 2y agoI don’t know but probably a bit under $5 a month if 35 watts is my guess at the system idle. I haven’t bothered metering it.
