[exe.dev co-founder here] This grew out of our work on sketch. We built a container-based system for it, and found ourselves saying "I wish we just had a computer." This is our answer to that. If you are interested in our work and

Tun devices are possible and useful on exe.dev today, because it means, for example, you can install the full copy of Tailscale. But to your point: if a single VPS meets all your needs and you do not feel constrained by the marginal cost of

We could! Do you have any in mind? I can file issues for them.

For non-web stuff you will need a static IP. We plan to support that in the near future: https://github.com/boldsoftware/exe.dev/issues/6

Details coming in the next few weeks. The contents are regularly replicated to a disk cluster, though we have some more experimentation to do before we commit to exactly how frequently. This space has a lot of trade-offs, we believe we have

[exe.dev co-founder here] You can make it public! Our TLS proxy supports it, and supports CNAME rules (plus a top-level trick) to let you put a domain name on it. To make the HTTP server on port 8000 of your VM public run: ssh exe.dev

[exe.dev co-founder here] As of the past few minutes, some of our VMs are having intermittent network access issues. Working on it now. UPDATE: this is fixed now.

[exe.dev co-founder here] You are right, you cannot! It was quite a bit of work. We have a blog post in the works that should come out in a couple of weeks with all the details.

[exe.dev co-founder here] Thank you! Not to give too many secrets away, but my hope is to follow a business model I have been part of before, and make it as cheap as possible for individuals so they encourage their employers to buy it for w

[exe.dev co-founder here] Hi there, I am not sure exactly where you are, but your VM is ubuntu derived and definitely starts with apt and bash. Perhaps try `ssh yourvm.exe.xyz`? Thanks for trying it!

by crawshaw 10mo ago
[exe.dev co-founder here] It is planned! The reason we have not got to it yet is it needs to be very different than IPv4 support. We have spent a lot of time on machinery to allow `ssh yourmachine.exe.xyz` work without having to allocate yo

[exe.dev co-founder] Hi! There is a mobile site. It is not super visible right now but you can use it to create VMs (and even build something on them with our agent if you like). If you ran into a particular bug I would love to get it in th

The mention of Kata is out of date, we are fixing that, thanks! Our underlying VMM is very similar to firecracker (same upstream source). We believe our advantages are in how we run it. Several blog posts are in the works about technical de

I went for a walk to think about your position. I do not think you are wrong. If you refused to name a person in a situation like this, I would never try to convince you otherwise. That is why it is hard for me to make a case to you here, b

Thanks! We are thinking a lot about how to prepopulate VMs. The first thing we are going to start with is a fast ‘clone’ command, so you can preconfigure a base VM then make as many as you like. Lots of other ideas floating around too. Re s

Hello, exe.dev person here. I have not used E2B (though I really like their web site), though it looks like there are quite a few differences. Our disks are persistent (without manual snapshotting), we have a TLS proxy by default with built

I just tried this out in Firefox on macOS and there are no issues, so this might have something to do with our LetsEncrypt wildcard cert and the CA roots installed on Android. Could you tell me what version of Android you are using?

Containers aren’t enough for me. I like to do things like create TUN devices, run docker compose, etc. I believe the VM is a fundamentally better abstraction. Consider this: sometimes when you are using a VPS, you start a new project and sa

Yes our docs are out of date we are not using Kata, thanks.

No I apologize for the confusion (exe.dev person here). What is different about this service is you get dedicated resources that you share between your VMs. The initial allocation is conservative, we want to give people more (or drop the pr

Thank you! Yes, KVM. And public IPs are very useful and we want to do them. We will have to charge and/or limit them, unlike VMs, unfortunately, because IPv4 is scarce. (I am busy trying to buy some right now.) You can follow along her

Hello, an exe.dev person here. There are some very early docs, exe.dev/docs (which are also accessible over ssh once you ssh in). There is a lot more to come, very early days, please bear with us. I was not expecting to see it here tod

Hello, an exe.dev person here. They are VMs, on a crosvm-derived VMM. So I consider them "actually VMs", though we do not currently support custom kernels. You can do VM things in there, like create TUN devices, etc.

I suspect you think more effort went into my comment than actually did. I spent less than 60 seconds on: clicking two or three buttons, typing out the names I saw from the other window, then scrolling down and seeing the 501(c)3. The reason

Part of what makes this post newsworthy is the claim it is an email from an agent, not a person, which is unusual. Your claim that "unsupervised LLM's are commonplace" is not at all obvious to me.

That is really interesting and does suggest some new questions. I would claim it does not change who is responsible in this case, but an example of a new question: there was a time when it was legally ambiguous that click-through terms of s
