general

its provisioned to me whether server is on or not

did you configure a 40,000 IOP server?

2 25k iop servers ig

ok, my estimate was close then

tbh, that doesn't even seem that crazy, since I assume you're actually reading/writing a normal amount then

why the fuck are they charging you for making a small volume of storage like that available

im trying to figure out how to measure how many iops i catualkly need

ok Regi, not meming

could you just configure everything in RAM?

pay for a REALLY slow drive

and then just load everything into RAM when the instance starts

idk how to do that

this is the Windows ramdisk way

on Debian it's pretty easy too from what I remember

but uh, I think it would actually solve your problem, since Ramdisks are transparent to your OS

and then I think you could even replicate files to your slow 500iop configured drive so you have some protection if everything crashes

at least to save off your text files or w/e

if you don't want to go this route, I could see you dropping by a factor of 10 (2500 each) on your configured IOP, depending on how much you're actually writing to disk

reduce that price to ~$10/hour

which isn't nothing

with a ramdisk, you could probably go 500iops

all the AWS links I find are of people using specific Amazon products getting ramdisk to work

but it should work for you I think

ok, scientific answer

just figure out what one of your VMs running eats up

and multiply that out

I still think your host could probably survive being at 2500

why is there no fucking good way to measure how many iops im using

track the number of disk interactions you have per second

and multiply by 2 I think

i think i found a way

cool, hope it confirms you can drop your speed lower

or else your cost to run these is just silly

1052 iops continuous refreshing 10mb throughput continuous 4177 iops Torture test 182mb throughput torture test

this is what i got for just idling

and then opening all 75 tasks at once

so nowhere near the 25k we have

cost goes down to ~$20/hour

oh wait, I can't math

$11/hour

i run 3 servers

but still

id do 5k prob

so

15k instead of 75k

I'm blaming you for that confusion

ok yeah, the math makes more sense now

still weird af how they bill you for that

k well i backed up all my shit and terminated those instances, will just remake tomorrow

with more appropriate hardware

go make your million dollars Regi

we believe in you

Hopefully

I'll sponsor the meetup if I do

Ok hdd deal if u want big new drives

36tb for 500

really good deal

they've been doing a lot of those "buy 2x20TB, buy 2x14TB, etc." deals

I don't fucking understand how this aws billing works, I'm up to 350$ now lmfao

All in iops charges

i can build my own server at this rate

So.... about them IOPS

I had a dream that Edgar Allen Poe died

was pretty sad

rip

I had a dream that my toilet clogged after I shit, then it unclogged and it went down before I plunger'd it

idk what it means about my psychological state

i had a pretty wild multi-stage dream last night

bet you wish you had a poop shelf now, huh

Fuck

you got me

the first stage was unrelated to the first and involved my dad dying causing us to move in with my grandparents in lousiaiana in the second phase we were in louisiana but my dad was no longer dead, but was instead fighting some business feud with like some old friend who was hacking us or something? so we had this complicated operation to infiltrate his base and put bombs inside of it to destroy the hacking device, but we couldn't put bombs on the outside as they wouldn't penetrate the armour. i was part of the mission but put bombs on the outside which had to be removed. anyway the bombs went off but then for some reason it didn't work so there was a standoff during which i ran and my dad was killed. so now i'm actually with my grandparent except now we are living in the dystopia school tower city ran by the old rival of my dad. i go through the like class roster and i see that everyone there is like people i used to know and they announce this program where if you date someone you have to confirm with the admin and then they keep track of the number of kids you have. so anyway i'm meeting with the guy and we're like talking and he's impressed about the fact that i know what endianness means. and now for some reason my sister is involved in the story and we live in the same room and we have a shared power to time travel to the start of the day a la groundhog day. so we plan out murdering the leader of the city which will accomplish some goal. but then he gets like sus and chases us and i have to walk down the giant tower. but i forgot to change into outside clothes so i have to time travel back and put on outside clothes and then go down the tower. then i'm out on the streets when a speaker announces that a trade went through in the economy. then a missile strike comes and hits a building far off. so i take cover down and the shockwave and sound like blow towards me until they hit. and i take like burn tick damage slowly and my HP which i have now goes to 0 and i'm like "am i dead?" but a medic comes and restores my hp i think this is where the dream ended
