I find myself looking up commands/options in manpages or examples in cheat.sh, but that should no longer be the case, with how things are moving so rapdily. With wizaskdo you can generate/execute commands based on natural language instructions.

Right now this works against openrouter, but any contributions to support other providers are more than welcome.

Thank you for the recommendation! definitely that's a dimension I need to checkout :)

I hope I have the same effect on students doing internships where I work this year . I believe my René was Brian Harvey!

Hey! Thank you!

Your feedback is very appreciated, and definitely we don't want to be seen as a crypto project. While in this current iteration we have that utilization token, I understand cryptocurrencies doesn't resonate well with too many scams. We are seeking a way out of that situation to be honest.

I'm saying in the current system we need to represent the usage of storage units and compute units per second to a fixed number you can call it tokens or points that in the system it moves around I don't think we can do dollar billing per hour right? we need a fraction of that

Let me rephrase, and please excuse my English as it's not my first language: goal is I buy capacity on the system e.g 5$ allows me on the system to use X amount of compute and Y amount of storage, this value should be converted to more lower number to represent concrete number -could be milli Dollars or micro Dollar- or something (as a way to represent that usage per second as we currently bill every 1hr. I'd rather indeed to use that notion instead of introducing a cryptocurrency :)

Thank you for taking the time, very appreciated. We are actually aiming to build everything! crazy right? :) we have a working infrastructure that provides Virtual Machines and Kubernetes clusters, we are also targetting managed services as well (we are a quite small team, that's why we try to be a bit pragmatic deciding on solutions that we work on)

We are also planning to provide a cloud for systems like gitea, fossil, in a non-aggressive way to these respective projects.

Actually there's also another untold story, which is called a 3bot that's completely decentralized standalone working as your digital assistant, but we didn't get there yet :)

I fully agree that crypto world is making it harder for projects with good intentions specially those who delivered! (We are planning to be not linked with crypto at all soonish and allow more of fiat adoption)

Again, Thank you for taking the time!

Thank you! glad you're liking it. It's definitely a concern the incentives to provide a stable, secure service are certainly greater than incentives to steal your application's data. That being considered, you can choose the capacity provider you trust, or even run your own nodes to host your workloads (or plan the system with services like https://github.com/threefoldtech/0-stor_v2)
aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
We mainly use this token as a utilization token (credit points if you want to say) just to feed the too many transactions
aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
It varies between capacity providers so you can find people who do 80% to 99% uptime
aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
The reliability varies, given that not all hosts are the same, but we provide statistics on the nodes and depend on the workload you should use the provider with the best SLA conditions for you

I only mentioned that because of a parent comment linking to the token price on coinmarketcap. Definitely, we don't want to be seen as a crypto project (the reputation for crypto is horrible). And would love to help/promote using fiat too

And we are as, I mentioned, in other comments building fiat-based solutions, and some of our users built platforms based on fiat.

aredirect··on Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
I really like the idea, and the language itself looks very reasonable. (added to my forever opened tabs list) :D
aredirect··on Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
How did they come up with that name xD
aredirect··on Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
It is. I encountered it around Qt4 time. I really liked Qt4 backthen, but I was also open to using/trying other things. Like Lazarus and U++.

It offers a more compact i'd say approach to develop and it's quite straightforward.

I only used it for small GUI applications, but you can see what others been building https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$apps$en-us.html

I don't know how to edit the main text:

To open-source projects, We would love to provide you with resources for as long as your project needs e.g in terms of virtual machines, kubernetes clusters to develop/test, run you workflows. All free of charge. No strings attached.

And this also the link for legal information https://manual.grid.tf/legal/legal.html as well

aredirect··on Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
I appreciate your comment, I've interests in so many things, specially RAD systems like lazarus, delphi, gambas (I was from that era) and I tinkered with Rebol many years ago, and the experience was quite "unique". Tarantool I had to work with in previous projects (it offers a lot, but very unknown)
aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
Hello, you are 100% in control of where to host your data and the beauty of the system is that you can completely replicate it yourself. I'd say the experience is more streamlined than building on-premise openstack cloud.

You can find the terms and conditions here https://library.threefold.me/info/legal/#/

and everyone is also welcome to run the current cloud or replicate their own :)

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
Hi! Thanks for taking the time!

The idea is very flexible it can be converted to different kind of models

- Model 1: Global grid of resources where you choose (entrusted person, could be even yourself) to deploy your workload on their servers, and that's what a capacity provider offers with their SLAs - Model 2: You can replicate the whole infrastructure yourself (region level e.g gov) so you can build e.g for your own company (there you have full control)

So the way I see it, as administrator, I plan my deployments to be hosted on some reliable servers and I plan everything around redundancy (here's an example to host nextcloud https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-guide-nextcloud-redun... )

and there's a space for services that does such planning for the users :) I counted from 1, excuse that honest mistake :)

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
I'm glad you're liking it! It's the idea from the beginning indeed to allow that level of freedom to people. I would also love to help you to know more / test the project (not strings attached and no money to pay) :)
aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
My bad, was confused by the previous comment

Here's a list of the current pricing https://manual.grid.tf/cloud/cloudunits_pricing.html?highlig...

Of course, there're other projects building on top of us to even drive the prices lower, and even as a token of appreciation I'd love to provide you with whatever necessary to be able to test the platform for as much as you need.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time I'm actually not aware of any project that was more complete, delivering on such scale like threefold.

I'm not sure I know ICP, it'd be great if you could link, It's always good opportunity to understand more

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
Indeed, crypto made the world a harder place for projects with good intention. We aim to build a truly decentralized, peer to peer cloud infrastructure that you can connect to or even replicate on your own terms, and yet familiar to developers and system admins by providing the tools they love for provisioning and managing their workloads.

The whole system is 100% opensource, you can run it on your own terms (we would be happy if other people based on our work and expanded further)

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
Thank you! I 100% agree. We are exploring other options (and with the current crypto scene, it's more pressing e.g direct support of fiat, some of business built on top of the current infrastructure uses fiat e.g https://www.zonaris.io/

And main thing that separates us from all of these crypto projects, is we actually delivered the infrastructure, reproducible, that works :)

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
I'm not familiar with urbit, however, we built a system that works you can deploy Virtual machines, kubernetes clusters in less than 1 minute. And you can fully run / replicate that system on your own terms

https://manual.grid.tf/playground/vm_intro.html https://manual.grid.tf/playground/k8s.html

Also, we spent lots of times to bring developer's favorite tools like terraform, pulumi, typescript libraries to make everything familiar.

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
I'm very sorry you're feeling that way. Nothing fishy is going on. I was just happy to post about a product I've been building for years that's under utilized and can solve too many things for people. We don't want to be attached to anything crypto and we are working on supporting fiat.

The system is there, usable -unlike so many web3 projects- :)

Thank you! we would love to hear from you! Our token price is quite low at the moment. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/threefold

I have to say we have tons of resources ready to be used! and would love to help our wherever fits :)

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
The system is completely opensource, the team would be even more the willing to help you to build your own clouds separate from the current main one, and even can guide you if you ever wanted to change how the payment works. We are already at the point of designing the 4th iteration of the system. Too many believed in our vision and connected their capacity to make it reality.

There're various definitions of free, e.g it will cost power and bandwidth for sure, but free as in totally decentralized as owned by the people? they get to decide how and where their workloads are hosted :) you can connect a server in your basement and I deploy my workloads on it or you can even host your website (trusting other human beings on your own terms :) )

aredirect··on Show HN: ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
We are moving to support fiat as well, as well. You can literally build anything (we recently built a students platform to deploy their workloads without concerns about tokenomics)

Tokenomics aside, I'm sure https://manual.grid.tf will show very interesting bit, And please keep in mind that the system works .. quite well actually (and it's opensource if you like the idea, and don't like the execution :)

aredirect··on I can fund a project and provide financial advices. Any great idea out there?
