A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Joe's datacenter & hetzner server auctions are good deals if you've got bad internet and want to run your own multiple smaller VMs! Depending on latency in the case of hetzner.
But yeah, hosting at home is always great. I did it for years, but electricity prices began creeping up and I got tired of the maintenance
Yeah, that's true, they do have pretty good prices. I like DO though because it's where I started and they have a DC not too far from me, so latency is very low.
It's also nice to pay for not having to deal with the hardware, and to also have the hidden costs go away (ie, electricity)
That's true! Those do add up over time.
I'd love to go full cloud-native with a kubernetes cluster, but I can't justify the $100+ a month for a reasonable cluster :(
That's my disappointment as well! I've done k3s on a droplet, and it was nice, but I'd like to handover the control plane to a cloud provider when I'm experimenting without burning my wallet.
For sure, then you just have to worry about deploying apps. Seems a lot easier for testing.
