andymegacreep··on Ask HN: Pros and cons of switching to self-hosted inference?
not sure if you are interested in a managed PaaS that gives you the control of self-hosting without the maintenance, but take a look at https://usectl.com/

damn, that’s rough. The no warning / no explanation part is the worst.

stuff like this is why i’ve started leaning more toward things i actually control, self-hosting when possible, or at least keeping setups easy to move around. getting locked into one provider can bite you out of nowhere.

doesn’t help your situation now, but it definitely makes future hits like this less painful. Hope you didn’t lose anything important.

this!
andymegacreep··on Self-Hosting from Scratch
this is a cool little walkthrough for anyone starting out. it's funny how much of this becomes muscle memory once you've done it a few times, but these days I just spin up Kubernetes instead and sometimes i would be lazy even for that, so i use some platforms, like UseCTL that handles the parts that used to be painful. configuring NAS would become an ancient knowledge soon :c

this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c
