@movq@www.uninformativ.de See this kind of service wouldn’t work for you, unless you can justify what you run on your VPS and cut away all the cruft and wasted memory 😅 Here it would cost you $20/month alone in memory 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 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@www.uninformativ.de How much of that VPS are you actually using? What do you run on it? 🤔

This would make running my pod a mere $2/month

Hmm I was a bit wrong here. I forgot to dive storage costs by another 1024 🤣

This pod would cost $9.56 to run on this model 🤔 (most of that is storage)

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@twtxt.net ? 🤔

@jmjl@tilde.green Fixed 👌 Repo had the wrong trust setting

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 👌 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@tilde.green 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.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I think you did, we probably need to track content somehow and de-duplicate 🤦‍♂️

@apex@twtxt.net Oh nice! How cool 😅 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? 😳

@jmjl@tilde.green Di you mean Tutum Cloud that Docker bought? 🤔

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.

@shreyan@twtxt.net What would you do with said API(s) if they existed? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Interesting attempt but kind of lame 😆

BMW for example provide SIMs in their vehicles and up to a few years of plans with local telcos.

it’s not clear to me what happens when this runs out though 🤔

Or if you can even opt out 🤔

@shreyan@twtxt.net archived twts

@xuu Holy moly 😆

@jmjl@tilde.green Sorry I’m confused? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

The benefits of blockchain implementation across multiple sectors are well-documented, but how can this decentralised solution be used to achieve more sustainable programming?

But c’mon, it’s not a decentralised system, it’s a distributed network! FFS c’mon people 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Oh I would never offer such a service here at the Mills DC for sure 😅 😅 NBN Co is a piece of holy shit™ 😱 This copper garbage they continue to do nothing about is beyond a joke, its downright embarrassing. We have 3rd-world countries that have better quality broadband than Australia’s NBN Co 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci 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?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Sorry you list me there a little… What is it you like about smol.pub? 🤔

It’s our 13th anniversary on Monday 🤔 What to do, what to do 🤔

The entire point would be that you don’t get an antire machine, but a container.

@eapl.me@eapl.me What if it were also possible to “pause” your apps and only pay a much smaller amount for say storage? When you use it again you pay something like tiny amount per hour

@bender@twtxt.net That depends on what you’re intending to run. 10 milliCores of CPu is probably rnough for a tiny web app that doesn’t see huge traffic volumes 😅 Right? 🤔

@apex@twtxt.net https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/app/src/branch/master/.gitea/workflows/build.yml – 1GB of memory, I also tried 2GB and the workflow also failed 😱 I’m limited by hardware at this point, my underlying machines just don’t really have more to spare (32GB ea and they’re all sitting around ~80%+ utilisation)

Would anyone pay for like cheap hosting if it only cost you say ~$0.50 USD per month for a basic space to run your website, twtxt feed, yarn pod, whatever? 🤔 Of course we’re talking slices of a server here in terms of memory and cpu, so this would be 10 milliCores of CPU + 64MB of Memory, more than enough to run quite a bit of shit™ 🤣 (especially when you don’t need to run or manage a full OS)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Nice 👌😆

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Get any good pressies? 😉

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci We’ve done this already to some extent – Some 12km or so if I recall 😆

@eapl.me@eapl.me A simple T ?

@apex@rawtext.club So can I share my workflow with you and see if there are any memory optimizations that can be had? 🤔

@apex@rawtext.club Fair enough 😆

Electricity Across Oceans: Is HVDC the Future? - YouTube – Great video n High Voltage DC projects around the world and some of the benefits and challenges 👌

@darch@neotxt.dk You’re more than welcome to ! 👌

@apex@rawtext.club Do you also have experience on the iOS side of things? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Congrats! 🥳

@jmjl@tilde.green Yup I understand 😆 I still believe a search engine solves this better 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sadly no 😢 The move from Papua New Guinea to Australia put a nail in that foccim 😆

But I dad will remember some of the tales 🤣 @off_grid_living@twtxt.net

It will be sad to see you both leave the Twtxt ecosystem 😢 But if you must, I sincerely hope you all stay well, happy and safe 👌

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Btw… I haven’t forgotten your ask of documenting the “Upload Media” API. I’m actually trying to work out how da fuq it even works myself 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah, I actually did a lot of assembly back in the day with MS-DOS. I believe my tools of choice were Norton Commander and Tasm (Turbo Assembler). Also used Masm a bit as well.

Interesting, but I’m actually still integrated in stand up my own local (self-hosted) GPU cluster to experiement with 👌

There is just (for me) simply no value in any of this Web3/Blockchain crap, especially for any kind of “communications” (social media included) 🤦‍♂️

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I completely agree 💯
