Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!
You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.
Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.
I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!
Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.
♥️
Yeah, they would probably let you pay a small fee per month for this feature.
I don’t know about the history of selfhosted, I use a vps at hetzner which serves as playground and I use a mini desktop (hp elitedesk) as my home automation lab.
This community is an inspiration on spotting new techniques and software to discover!
The biggest bonus to the democratic world stems from just one individual. And the rest of the world believing in his idea.
So never say that just you cannot make a difference in this world.
Because you can!
This is just a sales pitch. We wants featuress in our pocketsess.
Prepare for the Nvidia card to be a pain in the ass, if so, maybe running the official driver on a LTS version of Ubuntu is the best option here.
Been at Ubuntu for a couple of years but I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to debian. Sticking to that one like shit on shingles.
And the CPU + RAM upgrade.
Buying a modern cheap low end card might give you the same or better framerate thatn this legacy card.
And steer away from Nvidia.
…so now we are discussing not speed again but ease of use.
Not everything with an R in it is faster than C. Read up about it. Everyone says so.
I’m out.
while C has to fiddle with void* and function pointer to get similar flexibility, which are much harder to optimize, as none of the type information is there.
I thought we were discussing speed, not ease of use?
Thank you for sharing your linux journey!
I’ve been toying around with linux since the old famous slackware distro!
I have used Windows professionally, later switched to Mac, but my desktop (my main driver) has been linux for a long time.
I run it the way I am most productive with it (yes, Gnome, don’t hate me, but liked xfce before that).
I like the way everything is customizable, light weight and… free.
Aside from that I think C is more performant than C++ (indeed when you use the bells and whistles that C++ offers), you are comparing the libraries with each other.
The fact that the implementation of one random std::Sort is faster than the implementation of qsort() is comparing libraries, not the languages. You are comparing the algorithm of the Rust Sort with quicksort (which is obviously the qsort you are referring to.
I am certain there are sort implementations in C which outperform Rust.
Having said that, I immensely enjoy Rust because it forces me to think about the error handling and it does not give me the quirks of C/C++ (index out of bounds, memory corruption).
May I comments you both for the openness, politeness and helpfulness displayed here?
Thanks!
I also found the response informative, and thanks for making lemmy/fediverse happen!
Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.
