Found cheaper hosting, upgraded machine, excited about new projects.

Thursday, December 19, 2024

Had a chat with some of my buddies today about the machine I got, and they told me about a significantly cheaper hosting company (3x cheaper), so I'll look into that. https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/

Just checked the website, and for about the same price, I can get the following configuration:

Intel Core i7-6700
2x SSD M.2 NVMe 512 GB
4x RAM 16384 MB DDR4

I got so excited I bought it instantly. I can do everything I would ever want with this machine. I'm very excited to learn how to set up grafana, loki, and maybe a kubernetes cluster. We'll see.

I figured out why the commands are getting killed. It's because they're running out of ram.

Turns out, swap wasn't being utilized because you need to actually enable and initialize swap memory. TIL. I will increase the amount of ram to 600 MB anyways.

Next up, I need to:

fix the file not changing bug
add google/github logins
set up the c# extension

Sometime, maybe this weekend, I can migrate to hetzner and shut the DigitalOcean VM down.

My email is getting really messy and I need to organize and group code interactive stuff. I'll also soon start sending marketing emails, so I got an email set up: roko@codeinteractive.dev. Very exciting.

I've created the GitHub organization. I need it for the auth. Unfortunately, CodeInteractive is taken, so I'm going with codeinteractive.dev.

I set it up inside supabase, but no time to set up the ui today.
