The capabilities of using a tiny client for a beefy/flexible server seem to be getting better and more mature as robust clients get cheap and bandwidth get solid. I love it. I’ve been very very slowly using AWS as my “computer” more and more. S3 is a wonderfully cheap infinite hard drive and I never have to worry about migrating scripts. And EC2 is as flexible as computing gets. And since I need to recreate everything every time I boot up, reproducibility is a must, but that’s easy when you have it from the get go.
I kinda worry about the economical likely next steps of using a thin client like a raspberry pi, like everything will become netflix/stadia and you never own the important bits.
But on the technical side it’s really great.
