Pricing (both cheaper and more predictable), and reduced complexity.

The last comparison I did was Hetzner offers 14x the performance per dollar Not including the faster SSD & included traffic

I haven't been professionally involved in AWS in some time, and never was involved in pricing. Personally, the only thing I know of that is a true deal vs. competition is cold storage of data. Using the s3 glacier tiers for long term data that is saved solely for emergencies is really cheap, something like $1/100GB a month or less. AWS is usually not the cheapest EVER when it comes to offerings like EC2. If you aren'…

At a certain price people choose not to buy
Sure, the market may shrink some but it's also relative to alternatives that are also increasing. There's no advice in the article the market is shrinking or that pricing is causing it to. People leaving the market on this type of cost will likely be people that have VPS's as idle resources, like some forgotten subscription they don't use but never canceled because it's The comparison to 2000s telcom market does not…
The provider is still making the same money for the same cost on that pre–existing service, so they might not even choose to raise the price for old customers. They're only losing an opportunity cost, and different businesses weight that differently.

Ideally all cloud applications hostable on any platform would just provide the following services to clients: A. rendezvous services so clients can connect to one another, B. storage/retrieval of encrypted data where the host does not have the key to decrypt, C. transport of encrypted data which cannot be known by the host due to B above. > How can you trust him to have redundant networks You can't, so abstract that…
Your data has to be decrypted somewhere to be useable, how would that work?

Yeah I'll need conclusive proof of that.
This is not difficult, you just need to run `htop` and perform addition of the RES column (which is in KB unless a unit is shown). Example: USER RES▽ Command root 70436 systemd-journald root 14268 amazon-ssm-agent root 13508 systemd root 12160 systemd --user root 10240 sshd: root@pts/0 root 9088 sshd: root [priv] root 8944 systemd-udevd root 8704 systemd-logind root 8320 nix-daemon --daemon systemd-ti 8192 systemd-ti…

I'm not quite sure what points this makes... That's supposed to fit on 128MB? And it doesn't include memory consumed by the kernel itself (which is not negligible at this scale), and linux needs spare for cache to work remotely decently.

If the US government bans the import of RAM, it guarantees the immediate collapse of the US.
I don't think so, Lutnick just made sure the US wouldn't need to import DRAM with his newest threats.
This destroys all the AI companies, and more.

Canadian here, could you share the name of the provider? I'd love to move to something more local and just need a basic small vps for a simple apache host. I know of a couple providers but never talked to anyone actually using one.
They're probably talking about ServaRICA. They post deals on LowEndTalk.
I'd see Chinese RAM manufacturers like CXMT filling the void left in the market for consumer-grade RAM modules, I appreciate they face challenges (like lack of access to cutting edge EUV machines), but the RAM just needs to be fast enough and affordable enough for the average user for these companies to make significant inroads into the market that Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix are abandoning to chase the AI server ma…
I am very hopeful of CXMT. But then then it could take a while for them to ramp up production. Maybe by then, the AI bubble would've burst. One problem with US sanctions is it could hurt US companies too, like in the case of cutting-edge EUV and CXMT. This is when China is actually a hero and not a villain.
If corporations in western (aligned) countries stopped feeding sovereign wealth funds and private equity with profits and actually invested something maybe they could compete with China more closely, even with whatever shenanigans the CPC get up to with state support.
