I’d like to know this too, along with how you mitigate traffic spikes while using the internet connection as both your home internet and your public internet.
There are no traffic spikes, it’s not serving web content to the public internet.
I probably should have been a little more clear that I don’t think VPS systems are bad or anything, it’s just that they aren’t well-suited to game servers and hardware in my closet is well-suited to it.
I was spending almost 20 euros a month for a single Hetzner cloud instance that performed worse than all my gaming VMs on my closet computer.
But if I was serving a public website or app I would probably not want it going through my home internet.
I expect to see the same thing from the 5600. With AMD still selling 5000-series CPUs and their prices so low, they must be incredibly tempting to anyone who needs a lot of CPUs.
I’m immediately saving money with the server I built out of mostly used parts and threw in my closet compared to VPS solutions.
The only reason it’s near 100% utilization is because $5 VPS instances have barely any computing power assigned to them.
For the same price as one game server I’m running something like 5-8 VMs at once. I can utilize 128GB of RAM and 6/12 real CPU cores (Ryzen 3600).
