[1/2] It seems like one side effect of standard server stacks being so slow is that when you go to rent a dedicated server, you get something with massively more horsepower than its uplink could really use.

What is a good place to look for dedicated machine now? At old day I use to go to OVH or Hetzner for it
-
Hetzner is still good now. I send petabytes through them.

I am sure I will one day have this rude awakening to reality that the root of all software performance issues is that in the grand scheme of things, no one, I repeat, no one, including users, give a fuck.

If you don't think users think IT sucks and hate using and/or working with computers, you haven't spoken to users.

Do you know of any good resource that explains cycles per byte? Or rather not the concept itself (which I did google), but more of the context: what's a lot, what's a little etc.? Would really love to learn what one _should_ expect from todays servers and software stacks.
-
It's very contextual, so there's not a lot of ways to explain it other than "know what your code is doing and how many cycles that takes". The reason 217 is a very high number is that these are the lowest-priced servers, so you would expect them to be for the simplest jobs...

Hetzner FTW. Price-quality is best in hetzner. Seriously try hetzner.

Those numbers _were_ from Hetzner.

It’s also relatively common practice to do TLS termination on a load balancer and send the traffic unencrypted to the node behind it, so you really don’t need all that horse power in many cases!

Well, great. Mine some cryptocoins with the spare core time and donate the proceeds to Programmers Against Inefficient HLLs.
