People still use x86?

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 days ago

what do you think run your lemmy instances?

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago

There are ARM CPUs for servers and cloud computing. Of course X86 CPUs are far more common, at least for now.

Wake me up when ARM64 based cloud gets mainstream.

[-] Badabinski@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago

It already is. My company runs hundreds (possibly thousands) of ARM64-based instances right now. It's done great things for our cloud spend. We still have more x86 stuff than ARM because some applications just don't perform as well on ARM, but I can imagine that ratio will change as software gets more optimized (specifically the JDK, golang's compiler, and GCC/LLVM) and Ampere releases new systems with better single thread perf.

EDIT: Ampere, not Alterra. God damn tech company names.

That's actually good news. Honestly, I'm hoping alternative archs would be in the game as well, but their options tend to be less accessible/affordable than the x86 counterpart.

Personally if I ever decide to host an instance I would prefer to do it on aarch64.

Btw?

Clouds

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

Cloud is just a fancy word for someone else's (most likely x86) computer

Next you’ll tell me the earth is round 🙄 weathermen (weatherpeople) are the sysadmins!!! Truth!!!

cloud is simply a service being provided on another person's computer

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago

It’s fueled by rain and synergy. 🙄
