I don't see how this is better than c9.io, nitrous.io or ssh into your own VPS. I guess it is developed just for the people who use Google Cloud?
We at Codeanywhere.com offer Web based SSH into any type of server as well

Re: Google Cloud Shell
#152I'm going to spin this up today and see how it integrates with rsync.net.
We have 'gsutil' in our environment, so you can do things like:
ssh user@rsync.net gsutil ... blah ... blah ...
Not everyone has a use-case like this, but some folks do ... so we'll see how it works ...

Germany, for example (Where I live). Most people don’t live in the US, and for most people wasting 1.20$ for a product where you save one or two lines of code to integrate it is not okay. I seriously rewrote several web products myself that I'd have to normally pay 4$ or so per month for. I took over development for the QuasselDroid Android client because I could not afford IRCCloud. I ended up rewriting all the feat…
> Germany, for example. 40c per kWh is outrageous. This certainly goes a long way in explaining the dismal failure of Tesla in Germany so far.
Nah, Electricity is still cheaper than gas. Which is currently at 9$ per US Gallon.

I followed this thread with much interest, and I'm glad I did. I was just gilded this afternoon, and was able to confirm for the first time that new comment highlighting is not particularly hard for RES to pull off, it just doesn't do it for political reasons. Hence, the only way would be to quietly develop an extension for the purpose... or, strike the jackpot, and come across someone who's done just that :D Might I…
The extension currently is designed to only run on my system, as I wanted to be able to sync comment times between my computers.
So you’ll need to write an endpoint that stores the data somewhere, I'll link you my current solution.
First, the actual script that I load: http://cdn.kuschku.de/reddit-silver/reddit-silver-comments.j...
Second, the way I load it into the page: http://hastebin.com/raw/sugixafeve.js (You’ll need to adapt that, too, as Userscripts or extensions can’t easily interface with the rest of the page normally)
Third, the code of the endpoint that I use: http://hastebin.com/raw/gipubidevu.php
Last: You’ll need to set up localStorage.authkey to be equal to the auth key you set in the php script, you’ll want to host the PHP script on some server, and you’ll want to create an SQLite database on that server, give your PHP environment write access to that database, and initialize the database with a table:
CREATE TABLE `reddit-silver-comments`( `thread-id` TEXT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, `values` TEXT NOT NULL);

> ctrl v doesn't work (nano/pico) OT, this is a big reason why I encourage people to learn vi/vim. It doesn't rely on ctrl, and can be used in environments that do weird mappings to control characters. Anything you can do with ctrl, can be done with regular keys and commands.
So if the environment is broken, or at least subpar when it comes to functionality, you "fix" the application?
I cut my engineering teeth having to work on a lot of disparate systems run by the US DOD: VAX, True64, PC Linux, SGI. Having a single dependable text editor that worked across all of them consistently was important. Those environments were neither "subpar", nor were they "broken."

You can reach your full cloud infrastructure from any browser, all you need to remember is your google password. No need for a terminal or ssh, a regular windows, os x, linux, chromebook or tablet will do. Quite handy.
Handy? That sounds like a security nightmare. Your instances are accessible by simply being able to gain access to the Google account? Even with 2-factor authentication, this is a serious no-no to basic security requirements. A remote server should be only accessible from specific IPs using ssh keys. No passwords, no world-accessible browser interface.
If a Google account compromised all of the assigned features are available at the web console anyway, having ssh access doesn't add that much risk.

You're well past the point of diminishing returns where it makes sense for you to focus your efforts more on increasing income rather than reducing expenditures further. If saving $1 per month is significant to you then it sounds like you've already cut your expenditures to the bone, and there's no more blood to squeeze from that stone. Even working a single hour per week at a part-time job would have better returns…
I’m a student, I have not much time to work during the day, and jobs during the night are not exactly growing on trees. Also, I’d still cut expenditures equally. Even my parents – both of which have studied law – do this. Actually, most people I know do. Why waste money on useless devices if it takes only seconds to unplug them?
If you're capable of rewriting essential subscription web-based services from scratch instead of paying a few bucks a month for them, you're basically do have a part-time job at night, except that your few-$-per-month savings aren't paying you anything close to what you're worth. Rather than spending your time doing this, you should be doing some programming that actually pays you a good wage.

Yes, I should just get a job – but that is long-term more work, and still does not fix the issue of wanting to run FLOSS.

Wow, thanks!
You've definitely given me some awesome ideas with this. My implementation is likely to be slightly different, but your links are an awesome start and will definitely come in handy.
I'll likely take a while to get to actually implementing my idea (>.>), but I think it'd be cool to share my implementation when I (finally) finish it. How best can I get back to you in perhaps a month or two?

Sure, contact me at newsletter@kuschku.de (that email goes per default to my spam folder, if you send me an email today I’ll whitelist your address).
And the implementation is very simple: I just store every timestamp when you visit a thread (unless you visited it in the last 5 minutes already), and then just display those in a list.
Highlighting then all comments that were created after that timestamp is pretty simple.
