This post walks through deploying a self-hosted RustDesk relay and rendezvous server using Docker Compose. It explains why RustDesk’s open source, self-hosted design is ideal for privacy-conscious users, how to choose cost‑effective high‑bandwidth lightweight VPS instances, and provides a ready‑to‑use compose file, deployment steps, and security tips against scam misuse.

This post breaks down Nube.sh’s elastic cloud discount strategy, where discounts shift from 65% → 55% → 45% based on resource usage and renewals. It includes LG test IPs for multiple regions, real-order screenshots, and detailed benchmarks for Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and San Jose nodes. HK 1c1g starts at just $0.8/month, with one-way traffic billing at $0.0009/GB, hourly billing, IPv6 support, and a reminder that heavy users must watch bandwidth costs.

This guide walks you through connecting to Volcengine’s full-featured DeepSeek R1 API from scratch. It covers real-name registration, enabling models, creating API keys and inference endpoints, and calling them via Cherry Studio and ChatBox. You’ll also learn how to enable web search and translation with DeepSeek-V3, leveraging generous free quotas and high RPM/TPM limits.

This post walks through deploying the full DeepSeek-r1-671B model on Kubernetes with SGLang for production-grade, multi-node GPU inference. It explains how to orchestrate elastic multi-GPU workloads using LeaderWorkerSet and Volcano, optimize performance via RadixAttention and KV cache reuse, integrate Prometheus/Grafana for SLA-grade monitoring, and contrasts this K8s+SGLang stack with Ollama. A step-by-step environment and YAML guide is included.

This step-by-step guide shows you how to register a Grok AI account, link a Stripe-backed bank card, and avoid restricted regions. After making a $5 payment on the platform, you can enroll in the data sharing program to unlock $150 in monthly API credits. Note that once enrolled, you cannot opt out, so understand the trade-offs before claiming Elon Musk’s latest perk.

This post benchmarks Evoxt’s new Netherlands location powered by AMD EPYC-Genoa and NVMe SSD. It covers plan and pricing tables, CPU, disk, and network benchmarks (Yabs, Geekbench, UnixBench, PassMark, etc.), IPv4/IPv6 quality checks, streaming unlock status, and China backhaul routes—showing a balanced mix of performance and value for lightweight sites, backups, and similar use cases.

This post shows how to run deepseek‑r1 617B locally with Ollama on Ubuntu 22.04 using a server equipped with dual Xeon Platinum CPUs, 1 TB RAM, NVMe storage, and 8×NVIDIA A800 GPUs. It walks through hardware specs, Ollama installation, model directory and environment configuration, service exposure for remote access, Docker + nvidia-docker2 setup, and deploying Open WebUI for a complete large-model deployment workflow.

Hands-on benchmark of Tencent Cloud’s internal SA5 instance powered by AMD EPYC Bergamo: 4 vCPUs, 8 GB DDR5, 50 GB enhanced SSD and IPv4 BGP in Nanjing. Covers AVX-512 and other instruction support, KVM virtualization details, security mitigations, and synthetic benchmarks including YABS, GeekBench 5/6, UnixBench, and a Go-based “Fusion Monster” test suite.

Hands-on benchmark of a Catcat AMD Ryzen 9 9950X server: DDR5 192GB, 2×2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe, Hangzhou BGP 1000M/50M network. Includes lscpu output showing 16C/32T, AVX‑512, 64MB L3 cache, plus YABS, UnixBench, GeekBench, Fusion Monster script, SMART, latency and China network tests for high-performance and virtualization sizing.

I accidentally won a lifetime free 2c4g VPS from Alice with global streaming unlock. This post runs a quick benchmark of its specs and performance, including CPU info, disk and network bandwidth, and mixed test-suite results, to see whether this zero-cost, lifetime VPS is actually worth the effort to set up and use.

This post benchmarks a Monogatari Cloud dual-socket Intel Platinum 8259CL server in Zhejiang. It covers the provider’s background and licenses, promo pricing and value, detailed hardware configuration (dual 96-thread CPUs, 128 GB Samsung DDR4, 960 GB PM983), China Telecom 500M/50M unmetered bandwidth, and extensive real‑world benchmarks, plus a reminder about the SSD’s ~20k power‑on hours.
