   Excellent backup service

   By far the best backup service I've used. Reasonably simple to use but also extremely powerful. Support is excellent and the Snapshooter team have been highly responsive and are pro-active in adding new features and backup "recipes" for common scenarios. Once you're comfortable with the process, setting up a new server connection and backup jobs takes just a few minutes.

   Backup with clarity

   Backups, done.

   A good range of options for backups of files to config and previous databases and much more. Only use a handful of integrations. Lots of options around scheduling.

   All administered from an easy to use web interface.

   Use their storage or your own is flexible to ensure multiple copies reside.

   Restore is good too, that’s quite important I’m told ;) clear to see steps needed.

   The support is great and responsive too.

   My con is in the context of wanting certain integrations without the rest of the higher plan features. It’s a minor niggle really :)

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|Clean ui|Support team always ready|Reliable|Reports

   👎 Cons:    Costly pro plan

• Sometimes my MariaDB server gets stuck (stops inserting) after snapshotting, any idea what's going on?

  I run daily snapshots on my Hetzner VPS with https://snapshooter.com (it just triggers a shapshot daily via Hetzner API, I do it while the server is running), and sometimes the snapshotting absolutely wrecks my server:. Source: almost 2 years ago

• RIP Stadia - Where to play? 🤷

  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

• AWS doesn't make sense for scientific computing

  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

• Casual ESO cloud gaming in a post-Stadia world

  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

• Mac vs. PC - which to buy?

  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

• Ask HN: Any piece of hardware that was more of game changer than you expected?

  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
