Do you have a dedicated server for personal usage?
As the title asks, do you have a dedicated server for personal usage?
What are it specs? Which software do you run? Have you more IP blocks attached to it? Pricing?

I do... Proxmox..
2x i7 8700, 128 gb ram and 2x 1tb nvme (everytime a new vps for a new idea)
1x i7 7700, 64 GB ram, 1b ssd and gtx 1080 (cloud gamer)
1x E5-2640 v2, 64 gb ram, 500 gb disk (from zap-hosting lifetime which runs pretty good)
pricing around 200 a month and 10+ ips.
Nice spending on hobby/learning.

I've got one of those annual deals from Colocrossing from last BF that I run Proxmox on.
Xeon E3-1271 v3 - 16GB DDR3 - 1TB SATA SSD - 10TB B/W Per month - 1 IPV4 - Buffalo NY - $149 per year

“If it can’t guarantee behavior under load, it doesn’t belong in production.”
So you just connect via RDP to this server and play for example cs2/gta or some other game?
Isn't latency for rdp is issue?
I use parsec and latency is actually not much of an issue. I'm actually surprised how well everything is going. (wired)
though mobile hotspot does kill it but games like minecraft or gta v where competitive settings isn't a thing it's alright.
Poor performance
Yup. 615.92€ onetime. (https://zap-hosting.com/en/shop/product/lifetime-dedicated-server/), but you have to login to the panel every 3 months. They seem to a) hope that most will forget sometime/don't actually need them for years and b) finance the lifetime dedis with normal monthly VPS/dedis. The lifetime cost is equal to 12 * monthly cost.
Edit: and they exist since 2015, and sometimes there even is an up to 25% coupon.

My workstation has an E3-1245 v3, which should be similar. At 150W it costs 350 €/year in electricity alone. The power plants in NY must run on holy spirit.

Another owner of ZAP Lifetime Dedi. How has your experience been overall with that one? You are saying good, but what exactly are you running on there. Got 2x lifetime ZAP VPS/Rootserver, but Dedi also sounds nice. I also remember someone else who got a lifetime dedi from ZAP. It's pretty cool that ZAP said they will even replace the Dedi if it dies, so it's not even limited to the lifetime of the hw, only lifetime of the company/buyer.

Unfortunately only 5 TB / month traffic even for the dedis, and no IPv6, but if you assume that the company exists for at least a few years, it's pretty cheap.
And have you somewhen made a YABS of a lifetime rootserver?
LTstats resource monitoring system | Recommended providers: Onidel, Layer7, v6node, HostBilby, Dataforest, Gigahost | AS202986
Yeah, but personally I wouldn't use as much traffic anyway. Plus you can pay for extra traffic on demand iirc.
So, there's that option, I guess. I posted a YABS somewhere in the ZAP thread. Pretty sure you'll find it if you look that one up.

I'm running 4 vm nodes which only 1 vm running a website and other 3 are idling.
So far I'm happy with it. been having issues with the remote management panel as i can't use it once i get disconnected and i need to forcefully reboot my dedicated server to make it work again and repeat if i get disconnected again sadly support was not able to find a solution but luckily i have not been presented an emergency to have that fixed. for the server experience it's been smooth so far.
they even replace it if it dies? oh perfect!
When I asked them in January, they said that the limit can be reset for 9.9€.
Found it. Thanks.

Good to hear! Yeah, check out the ZAP thread I created a while ago, someone who bought a lifetime dedi asked them via ticket and they said the dedi would get replaced.

Briefly had a pretty spicy hetzner (~70 pm).
...but got rid of it since I've got a fair amount of hw at home and static ipv4 on fibre so makes little sense
@Amadex I am using an i9-13900 in Helsinki. I like it cuz it's very fast when I compile stuff.
nice! But have you used the processors Intel UHD Graphics 770 iGPU for anything tho?
No, I tend to stick to VPS, because every time I think of spending the money on a dedi, I come to the conclusion that I would be better off spending that money on upgrades to my Unraid box at home. But if the price was right, I probably would get one!
I have this in Arezzo, Italy for 23.99€ and /29 IPv4

New Hetzner cloud line is tempting as replacement, https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/
But real mens are using dedicated servers, I guess?

Own a server I bought years ago in the Datacentec realm. Runs okay a bit old but good for slackware mirrors.
The Yeti has left the building.
I'm Australian so I don't really know much about NY power but Buffalo being very close to that giant ass waterfall probably helps right?

I think so.

Using a retired Dell (i7-6700) as the home dedi
If that counts
DM us for private tracker invite.
well i hope
i just have my laptop if that works lmao

We've gone ahead and just doubled halved your bandwidth electricity spending - from now on your E3's TDP is 84 W.

A long time ago, I think I had some 3950X 128GB configuration in London that I ran Proxmox on as my personal server. I just used it for some Windows VMs and to host some personal project, it was more of a learning environment than anything since I would use it to experiment with virtualization.
Then I moved over to some i7-6700 64GB server with ReliableSite (?) since it was a lot cheaper. I think I then moved to a colocated server with a Dual X5570 that I had leftover from a project along with some VMs at other hosts. I think I also used a Ryzen 3600 for a while at Hop1Networks, specifically because it was cheap, high frequency, and they let me bring my own hard drives.
When I founded Advin, I started to just deploy myself some VPS on our own nodes. Now I just have a 32GB VPS in Nuremberg at Advin running some LXC containers with Proxmox.
There's also an 8TB HDD attached, hence the IOWait. I run various projects, like ArchiveVideoMirror for r/publicfreakout, a mirror (+seeding) for osu! beatmaps, and just some various other stuff. I believe I just use NAT to conserve on IPv4 space (so just 1 IPv4), but there may be 1 or 2 additional IPv4 addresses attached here. I haven't really checked on it in a while.
I had intended to build myself a really nice EPYC or Ryzen dedicated server at some point with a bunch of RAM, SSD, and HDD disks that would've been an all-in-one setup, but I don't really feel like I need it.
I also have a home NAS with (I think?) 6 x 12TB HDD and a Ryzen 5600G that I run some home VMs on and have some file shares on. My upload speed is too poor to use a cloud provider, so I do local backups to my NAS. The VMs are also used for various experimentation/projects/whatever I want!
I am a representative of Advin Servers
No, I don't need a dedicated server for personal usage. It is mainly designed for situations where an application needs exclusive use of the computing power and resources.
Yeah. 2 colo servers with Level One Servers @Ian_Dot_Tech and a $28 E3 with Heymman Servers. All of them running Proxmox of course, and a /29 or a bit bigger.
What things do you host?
Amadex • Hosting Forums • root.hr
Websites from customers, backups, personal files, a forum, and now Plex.
I used to use a finland dedi that was like 64gb ram 1TB, it was i7-7700T
I used it for hosting websites and it worked fine. Bought it on offer so it was pretty cheap.
I ran virtualmin on it. Pretty fine for a free panel software.
But I later cancelled it as I didn't have any websites to host anymore.

I think it's me! I actually have two. They work well enough, even though the antiDDoS is more cumbersome than anything and no IPv6 is annoying.
Both of them have aged SSDs which may need replacements in the near future so I will post back how it goes.
Ah, yeah! I think it was indeed you, I was referring to haha
Glad to hear you're still happy with their dedis! Yeah, haven't heard anything good about their antiddos yet lol. Let us know how SSD replacement goes, if it comes to that. I'm also still happy with my ZAP vps

anti ddos is questionable at best... it started with me having to raise a ticket to get the ddos re enabled because it costed me a while to figure out why my ssh wasn't working. so hit or mis.. so i guess it's just a little more premium than hetzner.
