   Best cloud solution out there

   We moved our services to Render and can't be happier!

• Show HN: X11 desktop widget that shows location of your network peers on a map

  I was about to mention Aminet[1] too as a joke of sorts (it's Amiga focused, but still updated, though it stores the actual archives more than focus on the "news"), but scanned the front page on freshcode first and one of first things that stood out was an Amiga program[2]... If anything makes Freshcode a successor to Freshmeat, the only thing missing is an Enlightenment theme being posted too. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Attic find - A1200

  Aminet - General repo for open source amiga packages, software and material. Source: over 3 years ago

• Just got an Amiga 500, couple questions.

  And just for the sake of completion, there's also the AmigaExplorer, which allows you to access stuff on your Amiga with ease, but which can't transfer ADFs from your PC to your Amiga (but you could send over stuff found on Aminet). Pros: Very easy to use, allows for great accessibility for files/disks/harddrives on the Amiga. Cons: you need a specially designed null modem serial cable, with an extra pin...

• I generated 207 MCP tools from an OpenAPI spec. Generating them was the easy part.

  I wanted neither, so I built render-useful-mcp: an MCP server for Render where every API tool is generated from Render's own OpenAPI document. All 207 endpoints, no curation. - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• Seven Free Node.js Hosting Platforms Worth Trying in 2026

  Render offers a free web service tier for Node applications, with 512 MB of memory and 0.1 CPU, that spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity and cold-starts on the next request. Deploys are Git-driven, native runtimes handle most Node versions without a Dockerfile, one-click rollback works on all tiers, and preview environments are available with their own resource billing. - Source: dev.to / 20 days ago

• Best alternatives to Heroku in 2026

  Render is the closest structural match to Heroku on this list. It's built around web services, background workers, static sites, cron jobs, and managed Postgres and Redis, which maps almost one-to-one onto a Procfile plus Heroku add-ons. Buildpack-style auto-detection handles most language runtimes without a Dockerfile, and preview environments and one-click rollback exist out of the box. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

• Why Vercel is still my default for shipping frontend projects

  The other limitation is compute. Vercel Functions can handle APIs, server-rendered routes, streaming, and other request-driven tasks, and the current function limits are far more generous. But if your application requires a continuously running background process or custom Docker containers, Vercel isn't the right fit. There are platforms like Render or Northflank that are built for that kind of workload. Vercel... - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

• How to Get Your First Tool Online

  A host: A host is really just a computer that stays powered on and connected to the internet with a public address of its own. When a visitor types in the app's address, their browser sends a request across the internet to that machine, the machine runs the code, and it sends the finished page back. A laptop was quietly doing both jobs during the build, the server and the only visitor allowed in; a host is that... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
