Yeah I think this is quite tricky. Even spotify screws up the sync halfway through the song somewhat frequently

Unfortunately the transparency of the IP stack means that unless u want whole world to know where u live via one DNS query, you'd need to use a service to proxy back to urself. And if ur paying for remote compute anyways, you could probably just host ur stuff there. Any machine that can proxy traffic back to you is just as capable of hosting ur static stuff there.

Yeah I agree with this. The only tool that really matters is file patching -- which you can check something like the opencode patch implementation, its fairly straightforward.

The main problem with actions is the way they advertise its usage "just put workflows together" is a horrible and non-debuggable way to do things. But even in the tech itself, caching is pretty stingy which can slow dev builds for fairly simple projects because every run will repeat some common work unless you have the cache perfectly configured (did u cover npm, docker, etc. with cache keys correctly?)

Looking at these flaws, running workflows from a persistent VM of ur own becomes pretty tempting because you don't need to copy caches around and can easily SSH in.

Yeah its very dumb stuff that people unfortunately fall for.

If those flames of resentment could be redirected toward policy makers and corporations for flooding the lower-income labour market and away from those who took the opportunity, that'd be great.

Yeah its an awkward position, as self-hosting is going to be insanely expensive unless you have a substantial userbase to amortize the costs over. At least for a model comparable to GPT-4o or deepseek.

But at least if you use an API in the same region as your customers, court order shenanigans won't get you caught between different jurisdictions.
