Since I moved server, I left behind my #Devuan install to restart from a #Debian 11 offered by my hosting provider which I immediately upgraded to Debian 12. This means I am back to #systemd land, and I'm already annoyed with it.

See, service mariadb [action] calls mariadb-admin that requires password-less root access (??) to localhost to do anything, which I don't allow for obvious security reasons.

On the other hand, systemctl [action] mariadb.service doesn't rely on mariadb-admin, but there's no graceful reload available either. 🤷‍♂️

I already miss /etc/init.d/mysqld [action].

It looks like I'm going to have to move server, and the offer I got isn't available anymore at my current hosting provider, which means I'm going to have to pay more or get less.

I currently have: for 20 euros/month:

  • CPU: Intel® C2750 (Avoton)
  • Memory: 8 GB
  • Disk: 1 TB
  • Price: 20€/month


The currently available offers that are close to this are:
Start-1-L

  • CPU: Intel® Xeon E3 1220v2
  • Memory: 16 GB
  • Disk: 2 x 1 TB
  • Price: 21€/month


or
Pro-4-S

  • CPU: Intel® Xeon E3 1245v5
  • Memory: 32 GB
  • Disk: 3 x 250 GB SSD
  • Price: 23€/month


My main question is: is the C2750 so much better thanks to its 8 threads than the Xeon E3? I only use my server as a web server, so isn't the thread count more important?

Would the unavailability of the C2750 be a good enough reason to move provider?
