Server discussion
Piglet:
Yup.
The only downside I can see to the AMD is that unlike the Intel chips it's not intended for being hammered 24*7, and it needs a bigger case which would up the cost for hosting anywhere but in my local datacentre. The first of these shouldn't be a problem as hammering 24*7 isn't the use case for the server. The second could be a problem if we find problems with the datacentre...which is why I'm keen on people trying the UK Freon server to see the ping.
I'm very close to giving the nice datacentre chap the nod to start spending my money.
If we go this route (to any physical server) we'll need to get regular donations for co-lo hosting, this website, and DNS charges over the year - with a little extra to cover any maintenance needed on the machine.
If I buy the machine with my own money we'll need donations of about £40 (+paypal fees) to pay the initial hosting fee, then an average of a little over £40 a month regularly after that to be ready to pay the next bills as they come in
Piglet:
I've sent the email for option 1 - the AMD option.
We have a little more time than expected to prepare.

You could pick the ryzen pro 3600, which has some extra tech related to servers and is certified for use in such environments.
Thermally, this could fit in 1U with a low profile cooler and RAM, using PCI-E riser cables for a small GPU if it can't run headless and a 250w mini psu.
Now technically speaking i have no idea how they use this stuff in datacenters.
Piglet:
Looks like that chip isn't yet available, and the extras appear to be for corporate desktops.
Piglet:
AMD Server is being ordered today. Exciting.
The warfare server is paid to the end of the month. The VPS is available for longer than we are likely to need.
I'll need to knock up an announcement for the servers to let people who don't follow developments here know about the changes...and invite regular donations to help cover hosting and ongoing costs.
It would be brilliant if we could get more donating small amounts on a monthly basis.
