Ask HN: Shittiest Hosting Experience? | May 2023

Expand Context ↕

Hey, you do you. It just sounds like an expensive way to avoid owning the hardware you want to debug to me.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but there are a few projects out there that do more-or-less what you're describing:

- https://github.com/m1k1o/neko

If you're having fun, then continue by all means. I've just been nerd sniped by your cloud costs and I'm having flashbacks to seeing six-figure monthly AWS bills at startups that refused to buy their own GPU compute.

Aither: Containerized Multiplayer Linux Desktop Environment | Apr 2023

I ran into neko recently which has similar. It's more application centric than desktop centric, but both offer multi-player experiences & I just think that is the absolute coolest.

I hope someday hardware video encoding & modest sized slices of gpus (VDI) becomes a regular offering on cloud systems. These projects feel well suited to home servers, but to really run very well it feels harder to do on the cloud. Being able to share these huge beefy gpus we have, to parcel up the many 1080p encoders should be a straight shot to blowing the cloud market wide open but alas dividing up these resources is harder & more expensive than it should be.

Japanese Words in Neuromancer | May 2022

This reminds of a list I’ve been compiling for the past couple of years: English-language software and products with names taken from Japanese. I find them interesting because there has long been awareness, discussion, and controversy in Japan about the opposite phenomenon—English words used in Japanese.

The following examples all came from HN:

Koi Pond, a load testing tool. Koi (鯉) means “carp.”
