it's cloud companies raking in the profits of these hardware improvements. "Widely-available machines now have 128 cores and a terabyte of RAM." and I'm still paying $5 bucks for a couple cores.

- KronisLV 3y agoThere's a whole world of disconnect between the enterprise-focused offerings (AWS, GCP, Azure) and what most people would personally use: stuff like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Scaleway, Contabo, Hetzner and so on. It's gotten to the point where I could personally never justify going for the larger platforms outside of an enterprise setting - even if I'll run my own business, it'll probably be on one of the latter platforms, because they still have most of the features that I actually need, while being more affordable.
