You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.

Lets normalize the price for comparison.

6/3 = 2

So for the same normalized price you get:

  • 4/3 = 1.333 cores
  • 6/3 = 2GB RAM
  • 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage

Thats a bit more CPU, four times the RAM and six times the storage!!!

I highly doubt that the "near bare metal" performance of that one core is better than just having 30% more virtualized cores.

And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.

The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits (32TB outbound + unlimited incoming) and there is probably some math where you can calculate when it starts to be worth the money vs. getting a second contabo vps.

Thats expensive

With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith

Without a free tier, they can't collect more data

Ah yes, if you don't want your data to be harvested, go to the company that harvestst it equally but shares it with more shady entities. Ingenius.

Use le chat

It falls under european data protection laws (contrary to the dystopian laws of china or usa) and has a paid tier where your data is not used for training.

I like clicking buttons that have a text on them saying what they do instead of trying to memorize a gajillion terminal commands and flags where I have to enter more commands and flags to see what they do.

borgmatic is way too easy and hetzner storage box is way too cheap to have any excuses

My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can't return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked ...
