Sounds like you're going to love this one: https://www.tindie.com/products/arturo182/bb-q20-keyboard-wi...
Cyclenerd··on Strava hikes monthly subscription price
Shameless plug also: I am the developers and operators of the free and vendor independent training log » https://www.velohero.com

Like you, I run this training platform as side project. I have been doing this since 2008. No price increase since then (always 19EUR). I come from your neighboring country - Germany. If you see the change that we join forces, feel free to contact me via LinkedIn or email » https://www.nkn-it.de

Cyclenerd··on Show HN: Google Cloud Compute Engine Comparison
Thank you very much for your feedback, I am very grateful. The cost change is not related to compute (vCPU and memory). I will have a close look at it in October, because I need to apply the price adjustment to my other project: https://github.com/Cyclenerd/google-cloud-pricing-cost-calcu...

The "Instance Picker" automatically sorts by price per hour. So at the top is always the most affordable VM according to your filter. Everyone has different requirements. I work a lot with SAP and therefore filter a lot by the SAPS benchmark.

To automate this step I provide the SQL export. You can then quickly select the correct machine type.

When your VM is active in the Google Cloud for the 8 days, Google automatically recommends the size (vCPU and memory) of the VM based on the workload. More: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/apply-machin...

Thanks. There is also a GCP fork: GCPinstances.info

I needed more information than that. E.g. all the SAP stuff and I also wanted links for each VM.

In the Instance Picker in the "More" section you can find the GPU Filter. Additional GPUs can only be assigned to N1 and A2 instances. The whole Accelerator topic is very specific. Maybe I will expand it further if more people find it helpful.

I built an open source webapp that helps you find the optimal Google Compute Engine (GCE) machine type in the many Google Cloud regions. I hope the app helps you too. Any feedback is very welcome.
Cyclenerd··on Updates to Google Cloud’s infrastructure capabilities and pricing
The fire last year at OVH showed us impressively that it is not a good idea to have your data only in one region. So don't do it and stick to multi-region.

Sounded exciting. I looked it up right away. Seems to be only 10TB yet. But it is also great. Source: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/#always-free
Cyclenerd··on Bash HTTP Monitoring Dashboard
no, it runs sequentially. But it is checked if status.sh is already running. So there are no repeaters.

I'm author of a similar monitoring solution :) https://github.com/Cyclenerd/static_status
Cyclenerd··on MNT Reform: The Campaign Is Live
UnixBench would be great. I have a bash script that runs several benchmarks and create a website: https://github.com/Cyclenerd/benchmark

You would have to remove Geekbench from Line 650 in the source code. Does not work with ARM.

Cyclenerd··on New AMD EPYC-based Compute Engine family, now in beta
Geekbench Multi Core Benchmarks:

1. n2-standard-16 (Intel Cascade Lake): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257619

2. n2d-standard-16 (AMD EPYC): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257340

3. n1-standard-16 (Intel Skylake): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/1257420

Intel Cascade Lake is with a very small lead on 1st place. But AMD is with three-year commitment the cheapest option. Great to have a choice. Thx @cvallejo

Cyclenerd··on Ask HN: Anyone moved to PC-BSD (TrueOS) from macOS?
If you have not done it yet, install it in a VM. Make your own picture. I did not like it. In my opinion, Ubuntu or Fedora is better for the desktop.

My browser sends 'de-de'. With 'en-us' it works.
Cyclenerd··on Show HN: Unstatus: Free hosting for dynamic, server-side (PHP) status pages
Already understood. Nevertheless an example would be helpful. E.g. with https://unstatus.site/foobar

I can't see any code in the repository. An example would be helpful.

You should try to recognize the language of the user. I got everything in Finnish on my first visit. Then I chose English. On the next visit everything was Finnish again.
Cyclenerd··on Show HN: Script to automate installation steps. Inst packages on different OS
I have built a Bash Script to automate post-installation steps. It helps to install packages on different operating systems. Feedback and pull request welcome.

good idea: https://cyclenerd.github.io/gallery_shell_demo/
Cyclenerd··on Show HN: Bash Script to generate static responsive image web galleries
At first we had similar thoughts. But I really wanted to try it with one file. If the script becomes bigger and more complex, I think again.
