Is there a way not to burn quithub's LFS quota on github actions?
I have a repo with GBs of LFS data, and it looks like the checkout action downloads the entire thing every time it's triggered.
This is not only is extremely wasteful, but also gets expensive very quickly!

@castano If "quithub" is not a typo, gitea is a direct self-hosted replacement. It supports LFS as well as actions.

@pervognsen @castano The cheapest you can go with GitHub is $5 per month for 50 GB of LFS storage and 50 GB of monthly transfer.

BuyVM will give you 1 TB of storage to use however you want for the same $5. The catch is that you also need a VPS from them, which is $15 for a dedicated CPU core and 4GB of RAM.

You can go cheaper with them, but then you get into CPU fair-sharing territory, and the low RAM amount doesn't play well with running actions.

@pervognsen @castano I would recommend it. There have been relatively few problems, support is quick to respond, and you can nag the owner on Discord. It's a small company, not a shitshow like OVH.

One downside is that the route I have from home to their EU site is not that great. It looks okay with trace route, but seems to be throttled on some hop in the middle.

@pervognsen @castano Actually... I'm looking at Hetzner's dedicated servers, and that might be a better option? Superior hardware that you don't have to share with anyone (even with a dedicated CPU core you still have other people (ab)using your RAM or IO bandwidth), and the price bump is very small, definitely in the same price range.

@pervognsen @castano Yes. The cheapest one are 35 eur, and they are 4 core 6700/7700 with 64 GB RAM + 500 GB SSD or 32 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD with an unlimited 1 Gbps link.

Right now I have a 2 core 8 GB BuyVM option ($30), and a 256 GB slab ($5) that is spinning rust accessed via network. For the network link, it's unlimited, guaranteed 200+ Mbps, with bursts up to 10 Gbps.

@pervognsen @castano The disk space is actually half that in a 2x RAID 1 configuration. Still very tempting.

@pervognsen @dotstdy An excerpt from BuyVM's terms of use:

3,1,1 - Clients must provide their legitimate name and surname and residential address when registering an account.
3,1,4 - Registration and Order Placement must take place from the client's residential ISP.
3,1,5 - Account details must match information provided by payment method.

I'd imagine Hetzner takes similar precautions.

@pervognsen @dotstdy In BuyVM they also manually verify your order, unless you pay in crypto (so no chargebacks) or are in good standing with them (6 months of active service).

@pervognsen @dotstdy In my dealings with the Polish tax authorities, I was able to present English documents with my own handwritten translations of the important parts. The lady at the counter said something about notarization, but I assured her it would be fine, and it was.

@pervognsen It went without a problem for me. Create an account, hook up a credit card, and that's it. No paperwork for verification or anything.

The server I got on an auction was up and running right away. They provide a TUI installation tool that does everything for you, provided you use one of the distros they support (https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/operating-systems/standard-images/). The RAID thing is optional, so you can just use the two drives you get separately.

Right now I get a 60 MB/s download from https://www.borgbase.com/.

Because no one stopped me, I ported "Everybody Wants to Crank the World" demo to PC (Windows/Mac). https://github.com/aras-p/demo-pd-cranktheworld/pull/1 :playdate: :demoscene:

Using Sokol libraries by @floooh to do most of heavy lifting.

Fun fact: while the demo is running, it takes up as much CPU time as the windows task manager on my PC.

@aras @floooh I don't think the "less CPU usage than the task manager" claim still stands ;)
