It's not hard to run a server with Sia and have it run constantly. I mean that is more or less what filebase does for you. I'm not sure how feasible it is to do it without payment/sign up but I guess http://opacity.io is something you may like, it's going to use Sia soon and there is no sign up. Source: over 2 years ago

Github commits that you see on https://github.com/opacity are for main/production (opacity.io). We use a test environment for our latest features & fixes so that we can test them out first before pushing them to production. If you have Telegram, I suggest you join our Opacity Github channel. This is where you will also find the latest Github commits of the test site. Source: over 2 years ago

Before I built my rig. I used paperspace.com and parsec. you'll probably have to request that they unlock a better gpu server for you though. If you need any help just shoot me a message. Its like 50 cents an hour. Source: over 1 year ago

There are several tier-two clouds that offer GPUs but I think they generally fall prey to the many of the same issues you'll find with AWS. There is a new generation of accelerator native clouds e.g. Paperspace (https://paperspace.com) that cater specifically to HPC, AI, etc. workloads. The main differentiators are:. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Guess you've never heard of paperspace.com :) Their systems (depending on the configuration ofc) work great with ESO and they run windows and it's parsec compatible. Source: over 1 year ago

Something else to look into for a Windows machine would be Paperspace. It can be a little flaky at times, but you get a Windows machine in the cloud which works from a web browser. Even a pretty good one only costs $7 a month for storage 50¢ an hour to run. If you need a Windows machine in a hurry this is definitely your cheapest option. Source: almost 2 years ago

Have you ever tried Paperspace (https://paperspace.com)? I've spent many hours gaming using their Windows offerings, although always strategy games so the latency hasn't been noticeable. I'm not sure how well it would work for FPS (probably reasonably, to be honest). They have a large number of general computing/graphics-specific machines you can spin up, and you can either pay per hour or per month. I've also... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
