   Very high quality alternative

   I was recommended this by a friend. I have had great experience using it with friends and I have heard the support is amazing. Buying the premium version of the service is very much worth it because of the improved quality. I have recommended this to several friends and they have all enjoyed it.

   👍 Pros:    High quality|Freemium is not expensive|Excellent support|Fast debugging

   👎 Cons:    Freemium version

   An excellent virtual streaming service especially with the current push towards meeting electronically.

   The hyperbeam app is, at least in my opinion. A wonderful piece of software that allows users to create a "Virtual machine" that is then streamed over to other users in the current room. As the 2019 to 2021(Current, as of writing this review) Pandemic rages on, this has become an excellent way to not only lift up spirits but get interested in watching stuff together.

   For personal anecdotes, early on in said pandemic, I have had my personal group of friends feeling quite down and hosting communal "Movie nights" together was an excellent way to help pass the time and keep spirits high. It was a nice experience of chilling out with each other, with voice comms active and having a blast watching stuff some of us just never seen.

   A second one I would have to share. Later on, I had met a wonderful new friend and we ended up sharing anime that we had not watched with each other, with it being an excellent thing to do while playing our games.

   These experiences simply would not have been possible without Hyperbeam.

   For the way its overall structured in more depth. They essentially offer people to make rooms, where they can start a VM up in one, essentially a communal stream for each viewer in said room. The Room host has primary control over it, but can give control to any other user, as well as setting it up so anyone can freely take control.

   For its business model, it essentially works by having a handful of virtual machines that anyone can use, with subscribers paying for the upkeep and maintenance of it. The idea is that, with subscribers paying for the servers, they get access to unlimited and priority use of the virtual machines, while free users often get 2-3 hours per session as the host, with that often being to give other people a chance to use the service.

   With a subscription cost of 5 dollars a month, its more than affordable. And something I would heavily recommend, subscription or not, if you are looking at hosting any group activities together.

   For closing words. I can only say that my interactions with the staff have been excellent, with them often ready at any point to try and troubleshoot any issues you might have and often are quite pleasant on their discord.

   🏁 Competitors: Rabb.it

   👍 Pros:    Great customer support|Cheap price|Free to use|Stable

• Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

  I would recommend Psiphon [1,2] most (all?) of their code is open source and their main goal is to get around censorship blocks. They do have some crypto side projects but the main product is very solid. [1] https://psiphon.ca/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• C Development is a Mess

  Hey folks, it's been a while since I posted here! I've been quite busy with life, especially working at a few companies such as Hyperbeam, DigitalOcean, and a few others. That being said though, let's get into the real meat of today's topic. Why is C/C++'s development such a mess? - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

  If you use hyperbeam.com, set your server to Asia when launching a room. It'll put you in Singapore and bypass the block :). Source: over 3 years ago
