Thank you for the demo and for sharing. I like that you can scale your service as needed.

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm going to check out the website and learn more about your service. I'll reach out if I have any questions.

I haven't, but I'm looking for something with more batteries included. Can you point to any examples?

Thanks for sharing that, it sounds like a really interesting approach and this may solve my problem.

Man I love xkcd. Lol, maybe I am one of today's luck 10k!

This is good to know. Thank you for the reference

Yes it might, though I wasn’t aware that SSH sessions ought to / are capable of living for long periods of time.

I may be missing something really obvious as everyone keeps being up LUKS…. Why would I want to use it for what I described above?

I love your take! haha

Thanks!

Thanks!

> I do what you are describing for fun, but I would never recommend it for a business, even if it is reliable.

I appreciate your response and don't necessarily disagree. Could you tell me a little more about why you wouldn't recommend it for a business, even if it is reliable?

> To get around the reliability problems, I have the on-prem laptop environment update cloudflare entries with keep-alive timestamp messages. .. I then have a Google script that monitors the keepalive and if too much time has passed, a “failover” is done and everything that was running on-prem is spun up in digital ocean. The failover script completes by updating DNS and pointing to DO

This is a clever solution. Thank you for your thoughts!

> Running our services on computers is exactly what we as an industry did in the old-timey days.

There are times I long for the simpler approach from the "old-timey" days, but I digress...

> You've got availability concerns (power, network, hardware failure, etc), the networking to get a static IP in the place the laptop lives might be a bit tricky, but you can absolutely do this.

Availability is a good point :), static IP too. Thanks for the thoughts.

I'm aware of k3's, thank you for the suggestion
