    Honestly if @AlexPads releases the game on new year which it looks like is likely, I won’t be playing. I hope the DM’d code will be a $3 VPS deal but if it isn’t, so be it

    I’ve spent lots of time on here but I won’t spend new year’s browsing LET lol, that’s where I draw my line

    Finally, very happy woth the deals I got so far:

    • Onidel
    • SolidSeoVPS
    • Terabit
    • DigiRDP

    Neat.

    What ya planning for the new year celebration?

    Party party

    U?

    Dinner and then at friends place party...
    That's for now.

    I think the new trend now is doing a hybrid of cloud and in-house.

    Lots of companies are feeling the heat of the ridiculous bills for being always available and being on the cloud.

    Most of the time it was just hype which led teams make a decision to go 💯 cloud only to realize it's not that Kool.

    In my last company, the data science teams were excited to move to the cloud, and they didn't realize how messed up the billing would be. Spun up a couple large ass 1tb ram clusters and forgot to terminate them after use. And a $ 6figure bill was slapped

    I warned them of this but they are like, stay out bruddah. We know what we doing.

    Was a nice.. I told you so moment...

    @plumberg said: Who was your first vps provider?

    The first hosting I did was in-house at I company I worked at, but I organised the provision of the 2Mbps leased line into the building and we ran everything in-house.

    The actual first real provider is hard to remember, but maybe UK2NET for a company I worked at around 2001, but that was work not personal use. Although we did have 2 machines and hosted maybe 40 client sites from those two.

    The first provider for personal use was OVH from about 2012 and I kept that KS-1 for 10 years.

    I discovered LET much later, in 2021 when I picked up 2 small Racknerd VPS. Laughably, in my naivete, I didn't even realise they were VPS when I bought them as I'd only used PCs without virtualisation until that point, so had never heard of dedi vs VPS, and just assumed it was some generic crappy Intel Atom with 2 cores.

    About a month later in the BF 2021 sales, I bought the original KS-LE-1 for the company I was just starting. The next year in BF 2022, I got really into deal frenzy and bought a few things speculatively for myself and my company, and decided to upgrade the company dedi to a nice i9-9900K at Hetzner that was a really good price in auction, while keeping the KS-LE-1 around for backups and low-CPU services.

    Long answer, but the stuff after the first provider is much more interesting.

    Awesome.

    I love to do things in house vs cloud. So much east to manage and budget and control

    Self-discipline and a sense of personal needs are the foundation for stability in your life.

    It's pretty easy. x+"aaS" means take the old annual cost for x, knock 20% off and that's the new monthly cost for it as a service.

    There is no need to interact with the underlying server hardware connections; you can use existing service software to build your own services (right? Like some Docker containers or similar services).😅

    Precisely. Take something generic that's easy to learn and available in any computer store, and replace it with something that requires a proprietary API so it's not interoperable with any competitor and requires training courses and support contracts for when it goes wrong.

    Bonus points if you make it free for a year so people migrate their entire codebase to use it, and then have a reasonable first year price so they think "well, we're still saving money" and then rack up the price by 20% every year after that when they can't move away.
