@movq What I'm talking about here is something like this:


CPU: $0.01/month per 1% of CPU cores
RAM: $0.01/month per MB
Local Storage (_not guaranteed to be persistent_): $0 for up to 1GB
Persistent Storage: $0.01/month per GB


Throw in $0.10/month for "access feeds" and either $0 (community), $10 or $20 per month for support.
@movq How much of that VPS are you _actually_ using? What do you run on it? πŸ€”

Just been playing around with some numbers... A typical small static website or blog could be run for $0.30-$0.40 USD/month. How does that compare with what you're paying @mckinley ? πŸ€”

prologic/docker-proxy: docker-proxy is a transparent HTTP proxy that proxies requests to a Docker Remote API via a local UNIX socket. It also support filtering requests and responses to enforce policies - docker-proxy - Mills -- This little proof-of-concept now works πŸ‘Œ And is the basis of something I was talking about, a "Container as a Service". Now I just have to figure out billing, build some APIs and find someone with better UI/UX skillz than me to put a swank UI on it 🀣

@jmjl Wellt o my knowledge, no-one has every run such a service before. And to be specific, I mean where you pay to run containers and only for the resources the container uses. Normally anyone that claims to do "container hosting" essentially just rentes you a VM of some size and runs an OS on it with supporting tools and services that are designed for running containers. Not quite the same thing, becuase the price comes out at well either at VM prices or higher.

@apex Oh nice! How cool πŸ˜… Yeah there has to be some fine-turning we can work out for Android/Gradle builds that don't consume a tonne of RAM 🀣 Under normal circumstances in Github Actions I'm sure this is fine, 3.8GB, but on your own much more constrained hardware, I'd have to shutdown a tonne of services just to run CI? 😳

I would define things these terms like this:

- Decentralised systems are those in control of the data and its locality.
- Distributed systems are systems with participating nodes in a network that cooperate in decisions with data locality over the whole network.
- Federation enables systems and users to communicate across boundaries using identities.

The key differences come down to data locality and control.

@abucci Sort of. But, if you look around, and I mean look really hard, no-one really officer this kind of "small slice" computing anywhere. Docker tried to do this once and failed. Containers as a Service -- CaaS.

we-are-twtxt moved to Yarn.social but is no longer maintained. I don't think anyone uses this anymore.

it could also be interesting to add additional API(s) to the crawler/search-engine I wrote to visualise the ecosystem?
