jammoon Same Provider. Same $78 Plan. One Hetzner Region Scored 92. Another Scored 14

This is inherent in shared services though, (VMS).

jammoon Show HN: UK Butchers Meat Price Tracker

Just so you know the cheapest per kg beef entry is wrong.

jammoon Carolina Cloud – One third the cost of AWS for data science workloads

Have you found any customers who are too price sensitive for you? Presumably at some point it is cheaper to go and rent bare metal.

jammoon Nvidia, Deutsche Telekom strike €1B partnership for a data center in Munich

I don't really understand why Nvidia are investing in datacentres, bubble behaviour. If they were so certain in the long term value they'd provide it IAAS out of owned DCs

jammoon PlanetScale Offering $5 Databases

Really big impact! I'm not sure how fly or render work but if your compute instances are in $city make sure your planetscale instance is too. You shouldn't be far off 'in region aws' latency at the point.

jammoon Alphabet tops $100B quarterly revenue for first time, cloud grows 34%

Imagine what they could do if they focused a little bit more on making TPUs easier to use in real world applications. They are fantastic value but you feel like you're doing so much busy work to use them.

jammoon Tell HN: Azure outage

We all need to move away from these big cloud providers. Two medium size smaller providers is enough.

-Cloudflare for R2 (object storage) and CDN (Fastly+backblaze also available). -Two VPS/Server providers with a decent reputation and mid-size (using a comparison site like https://serversearcher.com or look directly into people like Hetzner or latitude) -PlanetScale or Neon for database if you don't co-locate it, though better to use someone like digital ocean, vultr or latitude who offer databases too)

jammoon AWS to bare metal two years later: Answering your questions about leaving AWS

Equinix Metal is now EOL, so worth bearing that in mind..

jammoon Boring is what we wanted

I have a 2020 intel 10nm quad core MBP and my god even the M2 is so much faster. They are doing absolutely incredible work to be getting >10% improvement every single year without fail starting from that point.

jammoon Keep Android Open

I can see why they add the fee, but they would both garner so much goodwill by giving free accounts if the app you publish is open source. I don't think it would be that hard to automate by requiring a GitHub link.

jammoon Ubiquiti SFP Wizard

It's particularly a problem with multiple access points, if it's just one and you need 'ok' coverage you're good.
