ugh. hetzner just announced a pretty significant price increase. I'm going to have to start some serious downsizing before that happens😕

@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.

@renchap I don't blame Hetzner, and I know they aren't the only ones. It's going to soon impact just about everything else we do online, I am guessing.

@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.

@renchap @jerry we already have 500% increases in ram?
Show threadRenaud ChaputFeb 23

@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%.

@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.
