chrism2671··on Making Cloudflare Pages Faster with Cloudflare's CDN
Using Cloudflare Pages doesn't automatically use Cloudflare's CDN, even if you enable the proxy.
chrism2671··on We launched on Product Hunt – and got hit with a noindex, nofollow tag
Mind you- we'll try again in 6 months and hope we can do a better job...
chrism2671··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
I agree. This is the main feedback I've been getting today- make it cheaper- so I will be. It needs to move to a cheaper platform; that way I'm hoping I can make it $10 a month for unlimited hours. Would that be good value?

Did you try this one? I'd be keen to get your feedback.
chrism2671··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
That's right! Cool!
chrism2671··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
Yes, I agree, I'm hoping that I can move the architecture to an LXC based setup to make it more efficient, and to allow instances to have unlimited hours (that's the destination).

I'll add, these are t2.medium instances; which are mid-range (about 4x the size of the cheapest digital ocean instances).

I agree. I'm trying to reduce the pricing, but it's stuck to AWS pricing on the backend. Working on it though.

The latency depends on your connection, but on a commercial internet connection, you're looking at <50ms. Anything under 100ms is quite smooth.

Oh no! I'll look into it! Thank you for pointing this out. The best bet is to delete the instance and create a new one.

Can you suggest a better pricing structure? I'm trying to make it cheaper (it's just AWS is expensive that's all!)

I do 90% of my work on a Chromebook/ChromeOS desktop, but I can't program on it, and yet I don't want to suffer trying to put Linux on it, so basically anyone who doesn't want to install Linux on their computer :)
chrism2671··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
I'm actually up for that, if you can suggest an alternative way of doing this (ideally using LXC rather the instances), that would be great. Target is 'always on' instances and reduced cost.
chrism2671··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
Yep, founder here. Trying to work out how to reduce the cost of both the free plan & paid plans, in order to give more for less.

For performance comparison, they are AWS t2.medium instances.
