Ask HN: Anyone got unused servers?
hello everyone!
Does anyone have some unused server with a very powerful CPU and at least 8GB of RAM?
I'd like to do some video encoding but I don't have the resources to buy my own servers, being unemployed highschool student.
However if anyone has unused digitalocean / aws (elastic transcoder) credits, or on any transcoding service I'd like to borrow them to do some encoding.
They should have at least 120GB HDD and at least 20 Mbps internet. I'm not planning to DDoS people, or to send spam, or mine bitcoin, I just want to run ffmpeg -i something.avi -c:v h264 -c:a libfdk_aac -q:v 26 -b:a 96K something_else.mp4.
In return, I can do a project for you, work for you (PHP, MySQL, Node.JS, Web design skills), be eternally grateful.
If someone doesn't think this belongs here, delete it, I'm not sure who to ask.
- dylz 10y agoI have resources, but they're not accessible to/from the internet directly. If you want, upload your source file to mega.nz or something and give me a ffmpeg command to type in. As long as it's legal/not copyrighted/etc.
