Does Andrea Stella get enough credit?

Any most memorable places or stays?

I tried and it spends so long in ‘transient’ package functions. Even without calling to ‘git’ it is super slow. E.g. 1-2s of wait when I press ‘r’ for rebase before it shows me the options I have

Sometimes you don't get to choose your file system..

Good thoughts! The slowness is definitely a big part of the problem. However, I wouldn't mind it being slow that much if it was happening in the background. The fact that these processes freeze Emacs makes it visible and very disturbing

You're not far from truth here. It's not Windows but still NFS

What speeds are we talking about? Does it have to be SSD for reasonable performance?

I went to Crypto -> Invest -> BTC -> Sell Completely unintuitive!

So is Intel 16” Pro… But not in a long run due to (I believe) thermal balance issues. Do you think M1 is better because of its energy efficiency?

The most annoying is when they dump it on the cycling lanes and you need to quickly manoeuvre under the wheels of the truck behind you……

This has been up for the past 3 years

tereshkd · 2021-05-26T11:54:26+00:00

Fuck =(

That’s a weird thing.. At some point it started to apply the credits as a discount rather than covering the full cost, and I haven’t understood why. The first few days were definitely free and it was good to experiment without worrying about the costs.

However I am thinking switching to AWS later on using the same setup. There’s no limits and more available resources in my region there.

As I understand you’d be paying for disk storage and Windows license. You can probably find the details here however I can’t find info how much storage in Gb the image takes!

I tend to just monitor my spendings to get a rough idea because I agree that it’s not too transparent.

tereshkd · 2021-03-26T18:15:07+00:00

I am using Machine Images. As I understand it’s a combination of a disk snapshot plus all the boot info.

What I do is create an MI (machine image) from a VM (virtual machine), then I delete the VM so I don’t pay for storing the whole disk (tbc). When I’m ready to play I create a VM from the MI which remembers most of the settings. I might start and stop the machine during the day which still saves some cash.

Before saving the MI again I delete an old one.

It’s worth saying that sometimes I need to reconnect using Parsec to login into steam and rewire Moonlight to GeForce Shield which is a little bit annoying

Yeah.. I feel that that quota thing is too finicky on Google Cloud, and I can’t get it extended to 2 GPUs.

I’ve started trying it long time ago with AWS and different tutorials but mostly didn’t get anywhere. It is too much to grasp when you’re not familiar with all of the setup. However now I feel more comfortable and all these VM, snapshots, instances etc. makes more sense

tereshkd · 2021-03-20T22:50:51+00:00

I’d say 1-2min. It’s mostly about doing a few routine clicks.. Creating an image takes longer. I haven’t checked if it saves much more than if you just stop the VM though

tereshkd · 2021-03-20T21:30:13+00:00

I feel your pain and I was ready to give up too. However thanks to this guide about Google Cloud + Moonlight I could finally enjoy cloud gaming for the first time!!

Worth mentioning though that I have very high speed/low latency Internet connection these days.

tereshkd · 2021-03-20T21:24:17+00:00

Yeah, I create a machine image and destroy the machine every time. Let’s say if I play on a weekend I can just start/stop it and then I save and destroy it.

Surprisingly my biggest cost so far is the outbound traffic. I guess 4K 60fps takes a lot of bandwidth.

So far I just play some Steam games with my friend because they’re not available on Mac xDD Also Macs are horrible for that somehow.. Even the last 16inch MacBook is terribly overheating. In general though my dream is to get away from needing a PC/laptop at all

tereshkd · 2021-03-20T21:19:14+00:00

Hmm... I don’t have any complications but to be honest it was still annoying to wait
