> Currently, MoonHome is a single-man operation, 100% self-funded. I wouldn't highlight this on the homepage as I don't think it's a plus. I personally wouldn't want my dev environment to depend on a single person operation.

Actually, in my experience, it's easier to get useful support for a paid product/tool/plugin that's developed by a single person or a small team, than for a product made by a big company.

"We do not have access to your data" How can I independently verify the accuracy of this claim?

You could encrypt your drive to be sure.

It would have to be E2E encrypted which would break the functionality of a remote development environment

I find the pricing structure surprisingly similar to Hetzner Cloud. There are the same RAM and CPU core tiers running the same AMD EPYC 2nd Gen (one to one and onto mapping). Except prices for storage is almost double. And hourly costs are higher which is kinda hidden by not assuming 24/7 operation compared to Hetzners monthly pricing. You will pay less with Hetzner as they also offer hourly billing. More smoking gun…

What would be wrong if they're reselling Hetzner? Obviously the price difference come from whatever they include on top.

I've been doing a lot of this lately. I got the cheapest Macbook Air and SSH into my machine at the office. Tmux attach and go! Lag is never an issue for me. I could get used to this.

Check out Mosh, it’s an upgrade over ssh if you are doing remote development

No port forwarding though. Must use ssh

> Lag is never an issue for me

Is that because you have extremely good latency to the VM or because delays while typing don't bother you? Just wanted to clarify as latency (especially over VPN) is what keeps me away from these solutions.

Where exactly do you find these prices in Hetzner Cloud? They appear to be at a minimum twice as expensive to me.

A 16 vCPU and 32GB RAM server costs €59.38 per month. If you want dedicated vCPU then you'll have to pay €166.48 per month.
