• Free version control for game development handling large projects??

  Self hosted Gitlab instance is an option. The only cost is hosting (personally I am using hetzner.com CPX31 instance, 16€ for 160GB a month but you can add 1TB volume for 45€ a month if you need more space). Just keep in mind that Gitlab needs about 8GB RAM to work correctly (it crashes on 2 and is only kinda stable on 4). You can also use an older computer or a NAS if you prefer to go that route.

• What Absolute control?

  Personally, I use hetzner.com's dedicated line, so I rent a full piece of physical server hardware. AmazonAWS is gross. Source: over 1 year ago

• Privacy friendly, EU-based, host providers

  Hetzner is awesome and they allow you to sign a data protection agreement contract. Source: over 1 year ago

• Writing a DNS Server in Rust

  I went ahead and purchased the domain dnsfun.dev from my registrar for 19.99€, and I purchased a VPS from my cloud provider for about 4.50€ per month. I then logged in to that VPS and ran something like this:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• We reduced our annual server costs by 80% by moving away from AWS

  We've just finished moving servers from AWS to https://hetzner.com - and saved 10X with servers of double the capability. A great experience so far. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How do you break into the space and where is a good place to find projects to work on?

  Golem, develop Docker applications and make use of their (now) very limited features. It's best suited for heavy calculations, or calculations you can split up between dozens or hundreds of nodes through sharding. A fork is working on bringing GPU & internet access, but it can be hard otherwise. They have a GLM Rewards Program that - generously rewards up to 20 users per month under regular conditions.

• Calling all developers, what are your opinions and experiences with various cryptocurrency protocols?

  For compute, my experience has been the best with Akash, then Golem, then I have been unsuccessful with any other project as of yet. Both of these supports Docker images, but Golem is painfully thorough with securing providers with sandboxing in both networking and workloads. This makes Akash easier to use right now when wanting to run something more advanced such as a custom backend or a Minecraft Server. Source: over 1 year ago

• Isn't ICP a *clear* evolution of blockchain technology, am I missing something?

  If you want to run scientific calculations or similar, I highly recommend Golem. Right now, its best applications are ones that can scale by sharding, to use parallel computations. Think doing 100 similar small jobs on 100 computers instead of 1 large job on 1 computer. One average CPU-month costs $3.17, or you can rent 100 CPU-hours for $0.44. Notable examples are blender_cuda which runs on a GPU, and the... Source: over 1 year ago

• Guys I need a new project! Please provide ideas!!

  If you're not using your computer, you can consider letting other people use it! Come checkout golem, a distributed super computer similar to Folding@Home, but for all kinds of computation not just protein research. You even earn some money and it's really easy to get started.

• Electricity/Cooling: how do you all afford it?

  This is where the math of VPS on demand for testing vs home starts to matter. OR higher buy in but lower ongoing is SBC boards. Raspberry pi, turingpi, ION whatever boards from nvidia. All have higher cost, more limited abilities (in some ways) but FOR SURE are way lower power/heat than traditional low initial cost/higher ongoing. It's a common issue. Getting yourself a NAS or ESOS or SAN or whatever as an always... Source: over 2 years ago
