Why is an imperative SSH interface a better way of setting cloud resources than something like OpenTofu? In my experience humans and agents work better in declarative environments. If an OpenTofu integration is offered in the future, will exe.dev offer any value over existing cost-effective VPS providers like Hetzner? Technically, Hetzner, for example, also allows you to set up shared disk volumes:

It also has a CLI, hcloud. Am I getting any value with exe.dev I couldn't get with an 80 line hcloud wrapper?

From the linked blog post:

> The standard price for a GB of egress from a cloud provider is 10x what you pay racking a server in a normal data center.

From the exe.dev pricing page:

> additional data transfer $0.07/GB/month

So at least on the network price promise they don't seem to deliver, still costs an arm and a leg like your neighbourhood hyperscaler.

Overall service looks interesting, I like simplicity with convenience, something which packet.net deliberately decided not to offer at the time.

Let me see if I understand it. The TL;DR is that instead of asking for VMs and fit things there you reserve the CPU and RAM and do with that whatever you want? Number of mVMs, etc.?

> $20/month for your VMs

>One price, no surprises. You get 2 CPUs, 8 GB of RAM, and 25 GB of disk—shared across up to 25 VMs.

This might sounds like a good thing compared to the current state of clouds, but what’s better than that is having your own. The other day I got a used optiplex for $20, it had 2TB hdd, 265gb ssd, 16gb, and corei7. This is a one time payment, not monthly. You can setup proxmox, have dozens of lxc and vm, and even nest inside them whatever more lxc too, your hardware, physically with you, backed up by you, monitored by you, and accessed only by you. If you have stable internet and electricity, there’s really no excuse not to invest on your own hardware. A small business can even invest in that as well, not just as a personal one. Go to rackrat.net and grab a used server if you are a business, or a good station for personal use.

HeavyBit is absolutely gross. I've heard lots of horrible things about them from multiple founders.

One of my friends was told to come to a sex party that was all male and he is straight. It soured his relationship with the firm so much he ended up winding down the business.

Thank you! <3

exe.dev landing page is sublime. The call to action is "ssh exe.dev" and you can bet it works.

Thank you, but no thanks

Very cool signup!

So much good stuff is happening at https://exe.dev, keep it up guys!
