It's neither capitalist nor socialist. If it were fully socialist you would have long wait lists but it would be free and there would be one payer. It is like this for Medicare and Medicaid which I've heard are a fantastic UX. But

He's an idiot. He pulled off one of the most incredible stunts I've ever seen. Not only does was he able to find and extract the gold over a mile down, which is incredible, he was also able to rally over 100 investors and raise ca

What I do now is I make an MVP with the AI, get it working. And then tear it all down and start over again, but go a little slower. Maybe tear down again and then go even more slowly. Until I get to the point where I'm looking at every

Currently moving Carolina Cloud to Kubernetes. I had built a custom orchestrator but really want the freedom of pod movement as well as KubeVirt's live migration capabilities. My ultimate plan is to open a second location in South Caro

Completely different situations. None of the MinIO team worked for free. MinIO is a COSS company (commercial open source software). They give a basic version of it away for free hoping that some people, usually at companies, will want to pa

The complexity is what gets you. One of AWS's favorite situations is 1) Senior engineer starts on AWS 2) Senior engineer leaves because our industry does not value longevity or loyalty at all whatsoever (not saying it should, just obse

Great comment. I agree it's a spectrum and those of us who are comfortable on (4) like yourself and probably us at Carolina Cloud [0] as well, (4) seems like a no brainer. But there's a long tail of semi-technical users who are mo

Really it's for both. One of our cofounders came from a genomics background and so that's why we have the Marimo notebooks + R Studio Server + genomics container. But we've also had a lot of requests for general VMs so we mad

I guess you're right. Is it even possible to truly own everything yourself? Even if you open your own data center, at some point you have to agree to peer with big fiber providers like Segra, Lumen, AWS Edge Network, right?

We have no egress fees but you're right about Hetzner. They're cheap. We aim to offer more value-added software to make up for it. Also that machine is in Europe, Americans don't like the latency (at least I don't), they

We have about 1000 cores right now. We're really excited for the AMD EPYC Venice — 256 physical cores each -> 512 vCPUs -> 1024 vCPUS on a single board with dual-socket. It will probably be about $40k per machine with these RAM p

We don't have on-demand API-based bare metal provisioning right now. Sorry if that is misleading on the website. Our bare metal is OTC right now (over the counter). For the rest of our provisioning (VM and container) I wrote the softwa

Yes we're going to offer this very soon, we have a bunch of SSDs but we're still deliberating on what to use now that MinIO is moving toward closed source.

Landing page or console? We didn't really build our console for mobile though we probably should.

We fixed this, please try again, also if anyone knows how to run a Three.js shader without exploding people's laptops I am very open to suggestions.

We actually ran out of my house in our very early stages at which case we owned everything. We had Google Fiber 8gbps for $150/mo. The only issue was the Google Fiber terms of service — ie they could shut us down at any time. This was

We've yet to have any DDoS problems. We don't even use cloudflare proxy which we feel keeps our API and frontend super fast and responsive.

We own all our own hardware but we rent from a colocation provider in Charlotte. They provide the backed-up power and network + the IP block, we do literally everything else. We used to be in my house and I was considering installing my own

If you need more trial credits than our pitiful $1 email me at derek@carolinacloud.io. We were inundated with crypto miners from Russia so we had to ban all .ru domains from signing up + shrink the free trial. People on HN are obviously leg

Thanks for the honest feedback. We just fixed this, I was hoping people wouldn't stick around on the landing page for too long since our console lets you do almost everything without needing an account. That assumption was obviously m

Thanks for the explanation. As a long time user I feel embarrassed to have not known this but I will definitely keep this in mind going forward.

You are right for probably 60% of customers. For someone spending $3k/mo on cloud on a company doing $500k/yr of revenue then going down to $1k/mo on cloud for a less tried and true product (us) is likely a bad idea. Similarl
