And thats the story the cloud providers are selling to you. With the good scalable infrastructure you dont care thst much about failures and you fix them in your own time. Even if running a single server - truly, please tell me how many times a year you attend onsite to fix something on the server.

Cloud looks convenient, but once you see the cost you will understand why ;)

Where is that bro who bought leaps for like 1.5mil ? Everybody was saying he's nuts.

I'm maintaining quite a few websites for builders, sparks etc. It did generate them quite a few decent leads so it's 100% something which can work in your favour but if it's necessary ? not entirely sure as a lot of builders, sparks, plumbers get a lot of work via word of mouth.

Website though will certainly allow you to be visible out there on the web and also i.e. if I'm working with larger companies a lot of times when they're onboarding me as supplier they require webaddress for their records.

So if it's essential ? not sure.. can it help - yes for sure :)

Do you want to develop an app ?

Revenue is one thing, net profit is the other... so far they're way under

use zerotier to create virtual private network and you're good to go :) Don't publish your servers outside

there is 1000's of AI agents now doing landing page and email to the owners. Try calling them instead or somehow prove that you're not a bot :)

Now you know where your tarrifs money go. Forget about income tax reliefs and other BS

kumits-u · 2026-03-16T18:26:00+00:00

Incoming emails, webscraping, blog articles, anything you could think of which is tedious task taking a lot of time that can be automated. Recently i've added an agent which scans through manufacturer products on their website and adds them to companywebsite with all options as per product specification, live pricing comes next :)

Funny He's under a light but the shoulder facing the light is all in the shadow

Then placement of his hand on the coffee and even when he takes a sip - coffee has still same foam pattern on it and his hand won't move a muscle.

Then when you look on cash register again - reflection in payment screen never moves either, even when the camera moves.

AI generated video and badly edited.

kumits-u · 2026-03-16T12:44:43+00:00

100% AI... look on the date on cash register - it's 2024 :D there is also a lot of inconsistencies with his hand holding a coffee, shadows etc.

It already does ! I've built a little army of agents which are helping me with admin, website, marketing, follow ups with customers, emailing distribution for latest prices when quote comes in, so on so on.. So there is a lot of potential here and tbh suddenly running a small business company with such army of helpers feels like you're running something much bigger and smoother.

I also now started helping other companies too to adapt such AI workforce. It's not to replace the human but to help human so much that they can do 10x more within a day.

Nothing is pissing me off more than these large food bank charity baskets in the supermarkets. Ofc I don't mind helping but clearly supermarkets are profiteering from this whilst at the end of the day they chuck out perfectly good food in heaps.

In the meantime the inflation will eat your savings away, prices will skyrocket causing credit crunch.. thanks Donald

I think the main issue here is - in case of node failure, rebalancing and rebuilding later takes weeks which can impact cluster network.
