    VS Code in the browser

  • There is an open source implementation of this you can just spin up in docker.

    https://github.com/cdr/code-server

    I've been using it for a couple of years now. It's been amazing for me. Run a server at home and I can just edit stuff on the fly via browser from where ever I am.

  • Mosh

    Mobile Shell

  • No port forwarding though. Must use ssh

    https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/337

    A comparison of Vultr or Hetzner using Geekbench 5

  • It is awesome that you parsed all that out. I wish those were advertised on the front page clearer instead of Hetzner Clouds server pricing structure for a higher price (I would say some upcharge like at most almost double) with a little bit misleading pricing. I was mislead for 5 min. Maybe a switch over the table between X hours per month and 24/7 could make that clear.

    I am not sure how many of those features could be implemented by just a docker container or something similar.

    I actually considered doing something similar using Hetzners cloud API once. An end point for distributed computing and Hetzner was place that seemed to cheapest performance/dollar with hourly billing. [1]
