Was going to try their Free account, until I signed up and the discovered the big black "Free" had a tiny light grey "+ Machine Utilization Charges" beneath it. Everything is "Free + Charges".

I'd like to see a cost comparison across different providers. A comparable v100 machine on Google Cloud is $2.015/hr, while Paperspace seems to charge 2.30/hr for a dedicated v100 ( https://www.paperspace.com/pricing )
Google Cloud is very sneaky with their pricing as they don't include the instance itself in the advertised GPU pricing. Here's an instance very comparable in specs (8 vCPU, 30GB RAM, 1 V100, 50 GB SSD): https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/#id=a9fbcab5-cb... It's $3.19/hr. The Linux version is $2.87/hr.
Looks quite interesting. I could really use a Windows box that I could use for a few games while I'm isolated not at home with only my Macbook Pro.
Why use this over GeForce Now? Really curious, I don't see a lot of advantages.
* allegedly. Tried to set up Paperspace and Parsec without result.
Is there something like this that's self-hosted? My ideal scenario is something like this that's $20/month for unlimited usage, with the caveat that you have to have the server in your own house with your own internet, but the service is that it provisions your machine and proxies it for fast speeds everywhere.

Here's a link to the storage pricing. There are links on that page to pricing details for just about any scenario. https://support.paperspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000380433... The lowest level is 50GB for $5 per month
I wish there was a way to automatically nuke the image on shutdown, and then spend 15 minutes to have a script auto-populate a few games in my steam library at next boot. It’d save $5/month, and also solve the OS update problem.
A bit fiddly, but it'd work.
I'm just going to state again what I want, which is only tangentially related to the topic... 1) I go on Github and configure a service 2) I make a wallet that people can donate to 3) I start up a virtual machine, aimed at the Github, using the wallet to pay for the time on the machine. The virtual machine host guarantees that the code at that Github is what's really running. I can imagine lots of other things I want…
This is a really hard problem with "solutions" that usually run counter to privacy and, you know, controlling the machine consuming your electricity. Remote Attestation has come a long way, but (at least on Linux) still in its infancy.

Paperspace supports* Linux client, GeForce Now does not. * allegedly. Tried to set up Paperspace and Parsec without result.

I'm waiting for my honest business practices to pay off. No cookies, no ads, donations only. It hasn't paid off aside from about 1k per year in revenue and lots of thank you emails.
