inflation

I'm still new to cloud computing. I've only ever used linode. What is this supposed to be? I couldn't figure out a specific design through the article well. Pls help

This fixes a lot of things that had made me hesitant to buy Framework before.


Thanks! Looks like it's just the magnetometer and a receiver instrument. Once the pool of instruments runs dry, I wonder how thinly they'll be able to slice the functionality of the remaining, non-experimental systems to prolong their lifetime as much as possible.

Actually, it doesn't get that slow. I ran benchmarks and avg. increase was 10%. Compared to other things on the internet, it doesn't cause that much of a slow down.

That's... actually a lot worse than I'd have expected. When running a new protocol that <=3.x didn't support, sure, but then the test suite couldn't compare so this must be for old protocols that they just made slower?! Sounds like it would be nice to have a separate code path for the 4.x calls so you can import an older, supported version alongside the new one and call into whatever was available there

Doesn't happen that much. Possibly the environment in which people grow up in is so free and kind. Sort of like Hawaii's aloha spirit (search it up).


Why is this getting so much points/upvotes?


I've never tried Webminal (only used Linode for it's simplicity). But, it seems great. I'll probably try it out.


Sure thanks, Let me know if you have feedback.


I really like the ease of use of the site. It's also very clean. However, when you go into the Linux, there is a bit of latency (very noticeable). I know that it's impossible to remove the latency completely (it is what it is), but is there a way to slightly reduce it?


There will be little latency if you access from different region. Server located at Singapore. From India, I checked right now directly via this link https://www.webminal.org/terminal/proxy/index/ I dont see much issue. I use firefox/chrome on Debian. May be try with different browser?


How does it only work on 8gb of RAM if it serves 500k users (albeit not all 500k at once)?


Only UML is the resource consuming part kept as option available on request. Rest of them all shared Shellinabox, nginx,Flask and each active user session consumes little RAM since its a shared terminal. Simple `ls /home` shows all other users on that server!


monster yes, but also very powerful
