Signing up for Wasabi resulted in a deluge of unwanted marketing spam, all written to be "cheerful and your friend" Also, huge warning for Wasabi newbies so you are not surprised. This might wreck your wallet. Your egress is cappe

Newegg already upcharges significantly past MSRP (they scalped the shit out of RX580's back during the RX580 days a few years back), and _forces you to purchase items with incompatible, unreturable bundles_. Like imagine being forced t

Cost of doing business, or ... introducing new Fortinet vulnerabilities into your infrastructure? I know you mentioned 2000s, but it's funny that these contractually obligated boxes might introduce more worry: https://www.bl

For chargers, I've had some seriously laptop-destroying ones. For phone voltages (ignoring fast charging), it isn't that big of a deal, but USB-C PD laptop chargers I am extremely hesitant to buy on Amazon. Almost every memory car

Apparently it's gotten even worse in the last month, since Samsung and NXP's fabs are in winter-blizzard-disaster Texas, and TSMC is in a once-in-a-century level of drought area

They do everything on the spectrum from "I can't feed my kids if you leave me 4 star review" to spamming your phone number with pictures of bald children from google image search.

This is one of the most common Aliexpress (which many Amazon sellers are) store scams. They will continually send you fake "kids with cancer" pictures, fake begging about how your non-5-star-review will kill their shop, send you m

How are you affiliated with them?

by ev1 6y ago
Pretty much. Use 5% of the money you saved moving your workload from AWS to OVH to support failover, DR, and backups. You can probably buy like five or six machines of equivalent spec or more.

If you choose to run 100% of your workload on a single EC2 VM in us-east-chaos-monkey and put nothing in S3, only local mounted block storage that also disappears when you reboot your on-demand EC2, that is on you.

The pricing on their dedicated servers are cheaper than most 1-2GB VMs on cloud: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal/ - this is their flagship and most expensive brand, the cheaper ones are even less The funnie

This is an apples to oranges comparison. OVH largely sells bare metal; their public cloud wasn't really impacted. If you are using AWS, Google, or Azure, ran a single (or multiple machines) inside a single AZ with no backups and opted

If you want talent, loyalty, and commitment, offer significant amounts of money and significant amounts of equity. This reads like one of those "i have an idea i cant pay for it but i'll give you 1% of the profit it'll be big

Scalingo is €552.96/m for 16GB of memory. 32c xeon/256GB ECC/500GB SSD 8TB HDD is $100/m at OVH. The difference is amusing.

OVH has new servers. Their sub-brand soyoustart has older servers (that are still perfectly fine), roughly E3 Xeon/16-32GB/3x2TB to 4x2TB for $40/m ex vat. Their other sub brand kimsufi for personal servers has Atom low-power

for me, at times you'd not bother trying to remember your NIC-handle and just curl the API instead out of laziness

Yeah this is not at all what you use now. It's an Angular SPA. It is still a mess of separate accounts, but you can use email addr to log in instead of random-numbers generated handle. The OVHCloud US is completely separated for legal

They were not and never advertised as anything similar to AZ. You could not deploy in SBG1,2,3, etc. You only pick city = Strasbourg at deploy time. It's merely a building marker.

OVH is one of the largest providers in the world. They run a sub brand for personal use (bare metal for $5/m, hardware replacements in 30 min or less usually). ..and they do support all of those things you just listed, not just API-bac

They are different physical buildings. OVH does not generally claim anything regarding AZ or distance. SBG1, 2, 3, etc is just denoting the building your server is in - they are not like AWS style AZ or similar, quite literally just buildin
