Hmm, I checked my smallish standard household fridge with a Kill-a-watt meter and found it uses 150W when the motor is running and basically zero otherwise; the motor runs about 1/3 of the time, so 50W average.  My mom's fridge is full size, maybe 2x the volume of mine, so I guess 100W but...

That's interesting, comparing the new online.net personal range to the new Scaleways.  The monthly charge is a little lower than the C2S/C2M and you get direct disk, but there's the setup fee.  The 750GB ftp backup for 5eur/mo available with those servers is also nice.

Does that mean they're pulling the existing SC's from service, or just stopping selling new ones?  Will they make some kind of transition offer to SC users?  I think the Scaleway C1 is more attractive in most ways than the Via Nano SC anyway.

If you post in english, more of us will be able to read it :). If you want someone's email it's preferable to ask them by PM.

Basic idea for disks is monitor the SMART statistics and schedule replacement if (at least for hdd's) any of the failure-predicting parameters change.  There's an old Google hdd reliability paper that said even tiny blips in thosee reports meant the drive was much more likely to fail.  Servers...

There's lots of NUC models so you'd have to check the specs to get power draw of any particular one.  They probably use more power than the XU4 but not by all that much in the scheme of things.  Your refrigerator probably uses 50-100W averaged over 24 hours.

I haven't tried a compute stick.  We had a NUC where I used to work and it was very nice, like a Mac Mini but smaller and faster, and we had it running a huge Samsung wall monitor.  It seemed to make desktop computers pointless for most purposes.  The XU4 is not a 5 watt board: it uses a 5v...

XU4 has 4x A15 and 4x A7 (big.little), plus a big heat sink and cooling fan.  Power efficiency of big ARMs (especially arm64) is actually not that great compared to current x86 of comparable performance.  If you want to goa little spendier you could look at a much faster NUC-style x86 box.  I'm...

This sounds like a garden variety software bug, not a chip bug that's baked into the silicon.  Title makes issue sound harder to fix than it is.

Thanks.  I better pass for now, so don't go out of your way to find this info for me.  Other potential buyers might want it of course.

Can't you plug your phone into a car charger?

Does it have any more drive bays?  How many?

There's some threads on Phoronix saying the pi3 runs hotter than the pi2.  That suggests it uses more power: http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RPi2-vs-RPi3-SoC-Temperature http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Raspberry-Pi-3-Heatsink They also have some Odroid c2...

Is it possible to download from netflix (assuming you have a paid account) using similar tools to the ones for downloading youtube?  That should get rid of the lag problems. 

Oh I got confused and thought LSSD was local SSD.  Thanks for clarifying.  If it's the networked drive, that suggests they're using the 16GB boxes so the amount of CPU overcommit isn't as much.  It would be weird for them to build a different server config with less ram for the sake of those...

Wonder if they support 2 factor authentication.  A site like that certainly should.  Not that it helps that much any more: there's Android malware out there that steals 2fa credentials.

I don't think the vps cores are dedicated--see my post from 4:56pm Tuesday.  It is indeed a good deal though, if you just want a cheap x86 vps with good memory and network resources.  I'm mostly after raw cpu power when it comes to products like this, but maybe I'm not typical.  So I prefer the...

There are some benchmarks over on LET.  The C2750 per cpubenchmark.net is around 3800 Passmark, so a bit less than half the speed of a current E3 or i7 or comparable to a dual core i3, not too bad but not a cpu monster.  The dual 2.5gbps network interface might make cluster computing with it...

Amney, per Google Translate I think you're asking for an invite.  I can't send out any directly but I can ask Scaleway to send you one.  PM me your email address and I'll put it into their request form.  I don't know how long it takes to actually get an invite.  I think the LET thread said they...

Scaleway internet seems reasonably ok to me.  If there's a C1 benchmark you want, I can run it, I've had a C1 for a few months.  I might get a C2 to test but probably won't hold onto it since the last thing I need is another x86 box.  I can request an invite code for you using the member page if...
