Dear readers,
I tried to use different operating systems and hardware architectures for my Tor relays for diversity. So I came to the Parisian provider Scaleways, which has a cheap offer for ARM servers for € 2.99 per month. Debian was available with architecture "armhf / armv7l". I knew that, but I did not want to believe it. After performance trouble and a server crash I tested "/etc/cpuinfo" and 'lscpu'. There are Raspberry Pi in the cloud! From my personal device at home I know, that full cpu performance will kill the device due to overheating. Oh no! Must change to the next offer with x86_64 for € 11,99 / month. What can I expect? An old Pentium with 400MHz?

My order was "C1 - A true metal ARM server running in the cloud."
"4 Dedicated ARM Cores, 2GB Memory, 50GB SSD Disk / 200Mbit/s unmetered bandwith"
