just to be clear, this is total resources for all the vm right ?
like you give 2 cpu. 8gb memory for 20vms. Which I believe you wont be able to use 20 of them at the same time if they share 2 cpu only

#132The individual plan says: — $20/month — 25 VMs — 2 CPUs — 8GB RAM — 25GB disk — 100GB bandwidth Is this 2 CPUs/8GB RAM per VM (in other words, 50 CPUs/200GB RAM)? If so, this is an unbelievable bargain (too good to be true?); other cloud providers charge hundreds of dollars per month for an equivalent VM. If, OTOH, it's 2 CPUs/8GB total, Hetzner offers an equivalent VM for about $5/month (with much more disk and band…
It's not actually a VM - it's a container, and they are fundamentally different. This feels like false advertising.
I guess the question is: can I run systemd services ob their VMs? If not, then yeah that’s false advertising.
But my perception from the homepage is you can. Am I wrong?

#133Does anyone know e.g. a small systemd-nspawn oneliner to SSH in securely?
There's nothing dangerous about SSHing into an untrusted server unless you're using the same keys for everything.

[exe.dev co-founder] Or don't throw them away! The disk persists. And thank you!
Sorry if I missed this in the docs, but how robust is the persistence? ie is it the disk that comes with a standard AWS VM? or is it a share backed by e.g. Ceph with multiple redundant copies?
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 found a new and interesting one.

#135That must be worst website ever made. Zero information available on mobile. I thought it is some kind of portfolio site that does not work on mobile.
i'm not sure what you mean; the demo runs with the ssh command in the centre, there's an 'about' link at the bottom, and that links to a docs index
it's fiine i think

You are not the target audience if "how" was not apparent to you
I am the target audience and I still had no idea what the site was promoting from just the landing page.
Re: Exe.dev
#137I wish they'd auto auth you with Github based on your pubkey, in a similar spirit to `ssh whoami.filippo.io`[1]. That would remove so much signup friction.
SSH is really the only protocol you can do shenanigans like that over, it's a shame not to use them.

It would be funny if it was literally the best website I've seen in like a year...
... which it is.

"ssh exe.dev" is exactly the Linux command you would use to connect there via ssh. And it's stylized like command prompt.
The question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"

Someone else said it's not actually interactive. So which is it?
