@jerry thanks AI ... again.
SSD + HDD price skyrocket, so it was predictable.
@lexinova they are citing rising ram prices as the reason to increase my prices.
-
ugh. hetzner just announced a pretty significant price increase. I'm going to have to start some serious downsizing before that happens
@jerry
Site's too fast anyway, you're spoiling us. -

@jerry yeah still AI fault so
but i really hope AI bubble enter market correction soon to bankrupt all those crappy AI tech bro and make crash the price to normal level.

@lexinova I think it could take a few years for that to happen, but it will happen enventually

@jerry Be ready for all providers to announce some in the coming weeks, the hardware world is on fire right now thanks to OpenAI and their shenanigans to kill their competitors (and the AI bubble overall).
OVH announced a 10-15% increase as well. -

@jerry I foresee a 25% to 50% price increase in the next 2 years for everything requiring hardware, including servers, cloud but also laptops and phones. This will have a *huge* impact.

@melroy In RAM yes, I was talking about the total price. RAM (and storage) is only a part of it, so a 500% increase in RAM prices do not raise the total price by 500%.

@simonzerafa @jerry I have the same question! How can we help?
-
@renchap problem is like you said, storage is basically nvne today, which is also made by the same machines.
Same with GPU, which also has ram on board. And recently China also has a high demand on cpus. So overall, CPU, GPU, Ram and storage prices increased. These are all essential components. Maybe GPU in a lesser degree on servers that only host websites. So as long as the Ai bubble doesn't burst, I predict more like a 100% to 200% price increase for a total machine.

@WXQ4987 @simonzerafa I'm not sure yet. I need to figure out the overall change in costs given the number of servers I have, and figure out what I can replace with something smaller, then figure out what the funding gap (if any) will be. I'll do that this evening after work.

@jerry That is really terrible. I guess the "all important" data centers are busy consuming everything.
Well, perhaps they'll be able to use all that compute to sell ads to me in a more precise way. That seems important.

I was thinking more about additional funding, over and above the regular contributions we make.

@jerry Is there any public info about this ?
