On: Exe.dev

> I almost immediately surmised it's some sort of on the fly generated vm you can access via a ssh jumpserver

How? It just says `ssh exe.dev`. Unless you are clairvoyant.

[integralid → lnenad]

"ssh exe.dev" is exactly the Linux command you would use to connect there via ssh. And it's stylized like command prompt.

[flexagoon → integralid]

The question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"

[PcChip → flexagoon]

Because it literally tells you what to do

[codezero → flexagoon]

How to ssh into a server isn’t a question, it’s a command.

[doublerabbit → flexagoon]

"exe.dev is a subscription service that gives you virtual machines, with persistent disks, quickly and without fuss."

scroll down and hit the "about" link. I do agree though the landing page could be more resourceful.

I'm not going to SSH to a random server.

[lnenad → doublerabbit]

That's my point, the home/landing page tells you nothing other than "try to ssh into this van"

[panxyh → lnenad]

All a malicious website has to do to be convincing is to have a more conventional landing page then?

The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues, then you have the about.

[lnenad → panxyh]

Where did I say that, that wasn't a topic I just commented on the *entirety* of the content on the landing page.

> The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues

I mean, you do you and let's agree to disagree about a good landing page UX.

[pxx → lnenad]

tbh maybe this service doesn't want you as a customer if you can't figure this out. it seems like you'd be an above-average support burden

[hnlmorg → pxx]

Are you honestly suggesting that startups should be picky about taking on customers?

That’s probably the oddest thing to read on a tech VC forum.

The lading page was garbage. It’s forgivable because designing goods landing pages is hard. But inventing wacky ideas about why a bad landing page might have some hidden genius, isnt constructive feedback

[lnenad → hnlmorg]

Why are you giving in to such a troll/AI/low effort comment. If the page was some genius implication and I were too stupid to get it then his comment had a good point. The page has a random ssh command and this dude thinks it's genius.

[lnenad → pxx]

You made me lol

[kelvich → doublerabbit]

> I'm not going to SSH to a random server.

Opening a random website likely exposes you to more risk.

[enneff → kelvich]

Likely? Definitely.

[rnewme → integralid]

Except it doesn't trigger the keyboard on my phone and I can't interact with it.

[TJSomething → rnewme]

It's not interactive. It's just an extremely brief brochure for the actual service, which is available via SSH. All the useful copy is under the About link at the bottom, which is so light as to fail WCAG contrast standards.

[gavinray → lnenad]

You are not the target audience if "how" was not apparent to you

[hnlmorg → gavinray]

I am the target audience and I still had no idea what the site was promoting from just the landing page.

[davidmurdoch → gavinray]

Someone else said it's not actually interactive. So which is it?

[andai → gavinray]

I became target audience after I had a cup of coffee...

[lnenad → gavinray]

I mean, I've done engineering work for the last 15 years on most layers of the stack. Seeing an ssh command into a fancy url does not tell me anything about what that is going to accomplish. But yeah, you must be right.

On: Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s

[lnenad]

But that's not what anyone is arguing here, nor what (to me it seems at least) uncloud is about. It's about simpler HA multinode setup with a single/low double digit containers.

[esseph → lnenad]

> I’m really not sure why K8S has become the complexity boogeyman.

Was what i was responding to. It's not the app management that becomes a pain, it's the cluster management, lifecycle, platform API deprecations, etc.

On: A new AI winter is coming?

[lnenad]

I think it primarily comes from people being entrenched in their early opinions that AI is shit and they're now moving goalposts without actually giving it a shot.

There's a good joke in there somewhere

You're absolutely right!

The more infuriating part of that remark is when its due to you pointing out something really dumb, then you ask yourself, why didn't it ask this in its reasoning? lol

The SaaS is open source too, it’s AGPLv3.

Yes your honor this kid died of congestive heart failure at 200 kilograms but AI might have made him like computers more than humans if he went beyond 16 years.

[lnenad]

Weird take. For me they let me focus on the things I want to be working on, instead of having to write repetitive boilerplate stuff, so it's the opposite. But also nobody is forcing you to use them.
