  • Hey Tiff, awesome work.

    Have you considered buying hardware and renting only the datacenter location? Then you just have to pay for its rent (power + space in a datacenter).

    Especially for higher ram usage, it usually pays off.

    It's sometimes called server colocation, for example this italian provider https://serverdedicati.aruba.it/colocation offers :

    • 100 Watts
    • 100 Mbit/s
    • 2U server height
    • 75cm of depth Starting at 59€ + taxes.

    With this you could have much more RAM. There are also many smaller providers that offer much more competitive prices, you then really cut costs.

    Edit:

    Contabo https://contabo.com/en/dedicated-servers/ makes 95€ a month for 64GB RAM

    Otherwise I remembered this website https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers that has various smaller providers proving colocation.

    For example, this one https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/184470/alexhost-com-web-hosting-vps-dedicated-servers-colocation-md offers https://alexhost.com/colocation-in-moldova/ 77€ for 300 Watts. With that, you can easily get a chunkier server with lots of RAM and disks and do whatever you want at a MUCH lower price :)

    Yeah, RISC-V in general isn't yet ready for mainstream use, but it's a major step forward in the right direction.

    It's a 64bit CPU running at 2Ghz, that works on a MOBO with 1 x16 port.

    They market it on their website as "Make native RISC-V development possible" so of course your don't buy this expecting everything to work out of the box.
