Hi Slig. Thank you for the kind words. Right now we are on Hetzner. But we're in the process of getting colocation and our own metal.

Hi author here. Happy to answer any questions anyone has.

I'm going to second the Syself (https://syself.com) recommendation.

We're running our entire PaaS platform (Sherpa.sh) on top of Hetzner with Syself. We are 5x more affordable than Vercel and a big piece of that is because Syself allows us to operate autoscaling k8s clusters without an army of ops engineers.

We tried hetzner-k3s, and many other solutions. But ran into many of these same problems. Syself on the other hand, has solved all the sticky hardware and networking challenges at scale with their own customer operators. Plus they're support is super responsive and helpful.

The one downside, is they don't have a dashboard yet, so you need to be comfortable in the CLI. But I'm sure they are working on it.

I don't think I would manage kubernetes any other way at this point.

Hi, Sherpa.sh founder here. Thanks for posting indigodaddy.

Our goal is to be the world’s lowest cost platform as a service. We do it by being full stack AI operationally - and using our relationships from 10 years in the space - we keep the costs crazy low and pass those savings on to our users.

Happy to answer any questions.

This is actually a decent idea. I have a friend that’s in the brewing space running a small local brewery and can’t do non alcoholic as it is too capital intensive at his scale. But his customers want options.

Meaning there is a decent moat and customer demand.

Wish I could say I'm surprised you're getting downvotes. Carrier costs are some of the lowest costs for hosting providers. Yet that fact seems to elude a majority of the community here.

Make a post on indiehackers. You'll get a ton of people offering to buy it.

Its a serious problem. One off day and you are down the cycle again. It's the addiction of our times.

If anyone has some tips that have worked for them please share! Here are ways I've found that help on iphone:

1. Delete all time wasting app.

2. Delete all browsers on your phone (disable safari in screentime). If you "really need" some content there will be an app, or RSS feed you can tap into to get it. A light version of this would be using screentime privacy restrictions and only allowing the websites you want to view.

3. Turn off your ability to install apps in screentime so you don't install the time-wasters.

4. Have a family member/friend add the screentime passcode so you don't know it and can't turn it off when you get the first itch.

5. Put your phone in black/white mode and turn down the contrast. The apps you do have won't be as intoxicating visually so you'll spend more time in the real world.

There is also a large number of providers well below the prices of DO and Vultr as well. That are just as big, more profitable, and provide you with a better product and service.

Its crazy to me how many smart people don't realize they are only looking at the most expensive options out there.

It's like thinking the Ferraris and Porsches are your only two options for getting from point a to b

> 2. Ingredients are listed by percent, and nobody wants "sugar" as their top ingredient, so lots of products will sink it down the list by having sugar, and syrup, and honey. 3 small ingredients instead of 1 big ingredient, but you're still just eating sugar.

Damn, that's a sneaky one I haven't heard before. Thanks for sharing!

> The scam centres generate revenue amounting to billions of US dollars each year. Revenue in 2021 from scamming globally amounted to USD 7.8 billion worth of stolen cryptocurrency.

Crypto has made scamming easier than ever. Ironically, it probably is making it easier to track how impactful it is too.
