Kaphost Blockland Servers

For internet speeds it's always the "only as fast as slowest link" rule. The speed of uploads and downloads depends on your own internet connection, because almost all the time I have more bandwidth than the residential internet that my clients have. So long as all the links between me and the client are OK, and the client has average internet or even better-than-average, the client will hold the slowest link.

DontCare4Free is correct, because the game sends packets at 32 per second (default, set by pref) and at a max of 1024 bytes (also by pref), it means that no matter how good your internet is you can only upload to your Blockland server at a certain speed, which is 32KB/s or 256kbps. I recommend doing the FTP and load bricks method that I mentioned in the OP.

Loading my laptop's two CPUs and turning the screen's brightness to full, the most I could obtain was 19.1W. Electricity, on average, is usually less than 20 cents per 1000W per hour (kWh). Using the 20 cent price, the laptop would use $0.09168 of electricity per day.

As you can see computers don't use that much electricity so you cannot use the electricity argument for buying my servers

Well, you are probably right. But it's not always the best option to leave your computer running for extremely long periods of time.

Haven't turned mine off in two months. Problem?

One running for two years straight (excluding 1 week's worth of power outages). Problem?

I saw that edit thar.

[Joffrey]

Wouldn't be a little hard on your computer?

Just wondering.

I guess you have an efficient laptop. My desktop uses about 120 watts on average. Fortunately, over 90% of electricity is cheap hydropower, so my rate is only 4.7 cents per kWh. I was thinking that a computer like mine eould be pretty expensive to run in places that mostly burn coal for power.

I have solar panels. 50% of my power is free

Awesome. Of course, solar panels are not exactly the cheapest items in the world. I'm not sure that "free" is quite the right word.

They cost (IIRC) $20,000 for the whole package. We got them 7 years ago, so that's $238 per month. But, our power bill has dropped by ~$40, so around $198 per month. Oh, and that whole "saving the world" thing.

[pecon98]

It will already take over 100 years for CO₂ levels to return to where they were before the industrial revolution; this is implying that the entire earth stops producing CO₂ altogether. So "saving the world" can be pretty literal. And it's amazing that some most people don't seem to realize our predicament.

What happened to DrenDrans and Aludanes server? did they stop paying for the servers?

They had to be deleted as they were sending up unresolved TCP connections.

What?

Why would I do that? He just hasn't hosted.
