Hetzner Bare Metal Servers Available At MetalVPS!
Friendly greetings! 🌎🌍
Hetzner Bare Metal Servers Available At MetalVPS
Curium, a MetalVPS bare metal server at Hetzner, has become available. If you are interested in playing with Curium, or with a part of Curium (e.g., a VPS or a container), please let @Not_Oles know immediately!
Curium might be cancelled in a day or maybe in two days if nobody is interested. If you have your own Hetzner account and you want to take Curium as a transfer, that might be possible. Please note that Hetzner recently seems to have raised by a couple of Euros the minimum auction fixed price for servers like Curium.
Curium presently is running Debian 12, but could be reinstalled any way you like. You could do the reinstall yourself, if you wish.
Curium's supercalifragilistically excellent Low End specifications and price paid to Hetzner are shown below!
Any other Hetzner server also could be arranged.
Warnings!
Clueless™ administrator @Not_Oles has no "technical background" and only "limited technical skills. . . ." 😀 @Not_Oles frequently messes up! 😱
@Not_Oles is Especially Clueless™ about Debian, Fedora, and all other OSes. 🤗
Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊
MetalVPS has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line via ssh until you install the GUI that you want. 🆕
MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎
Account delivery might take awhile! 😴
Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑
Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed! 🌺
Please make your own redundant, offsite backups! It's easy to download or sync or clone your backup to a safe place. Please also make sure that you actually can restore from your backups! Please think of your MetalVPS account as ephemeral! Your server might blow up! 💥 At any random second @Not_Oles or maybe you might reinstall the Node! 🤦♂️
Other MetalVPSians can see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, please do not put confidential information on the server. 🤔
**MetalVPS Customized BIGburgers might be available with your choice of toppings! 🍔

Unable to push-up due to shoulder injury 😣
He asked me several days ago, when this server and my other servers were busy, so I had to say no. Well, right now there might be a day or two of availability.
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
yay

Okay, I pushed the cancel button on Curium. She will be idling until late in the business day Falkenstein time on November 9, about two days from now.
More Hetzner servers can happen in just a few minutes after ordering at any time. Thanks to Hetzner for being so dependable and so well organized!
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Haha, there is a button to retract the cancellation. After taking a look around, I retracted Curium's cancellation. What a lovely server she is! 🤩
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
but can you Cancel the Cancel of the Cancel!?
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.

You know the price comparison website camelcamelcamel? I mean, you know, it's all about CamelCase, right? So now we have CancelCase, or maybe CancelCancelCancel. How about CancelUncancelCancel?
In another, parallel universe I could cancel the cancel of the cancel. However, in the Hetzner universe, I do have the freedom to cancel, uncancel, and then recancel. Or at least I think I could do that. Never tried. Yet.
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

I had to look this up. The cancellation camel race might not be quite up to the level of Schroedinger. However, if we consider a box containing Hetzner's profits together with all the words of all the people saying Hetzner prices are impossibly low, we arrive at a Universe where only Virmach can understand.
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum!
Finally, a 🇺🇸🗽US 🗽🇺🇸 Provider beat [Redacted's] pricing!!! MetalVPS has a new 🇺🇸🗽US 🗽🇺🇸 server!!!
As a joke, the winning US Provider made me promise to discontinue rubbing [Redacted's] awesome pricing and awesome profits into the faces of all the US providers. I was willing to promise only because I myself imagined that my constant massaging about [Redacted's] pricing + profits already might have reached the congestion point on the humor link! Luckily I only promised to stop for one year!
The new US server's login credentials showed up on poor Curium's last possible cancellation day of her current monthly period. So I was just barely able to Recancel the Uncanceled Cancel before Curium's next period begins a few hours from now. . . .
Snif! 😢 Losing a beautiful server like Curium really hurts! Even when I finally got a new US server! Even though I am sending Curium off hopefully to grant another Low Ender a wonderful opportunity to have as much fun with her as I enjoyed! 😭 Bye, sweet Curium! 💖 Fare thee well! 💖
Fortunately, MetalVPS still has two servers with [Redacted] and still could get more at any time. Thanks to awesome [Redacted] for awesome service and awesome pricing!!! Thanks to the awesome 🇺🇸🗽US 🗽🇺🇸 Provider who beat [Redacted!!!]
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Somebody asked me about E-2276G at [Redacted.] So I picked one up. The price was higher than the minimum auction fixed price, but I do not know how much higher. Do I remember right that the single core E-2276G Geekbench score was very high? Delivery time was 6 minutes. If somebody wants to use this server, we might be able to make arrangements.
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Wow!
smartctl -a
shows 6% and 4% for the percentage used on the new server's NVMe drives! They are almost new! It's not always that way! She has been named Polonium.I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
