Dave JonesGUEST
You can do it that way, or you can do where your own node publishing directly into the mesh, and there will be instructions on how to do that once we get all this other stuff.
Dave JonesGUEST
Most hosting companies are just gonna wanna use PodPing.cloud just 'cause it's simple, it's reliable, it's hosted on Linode through Cloudflare's geolocation, so it, it's literally never gone down.
Dave JonesGUEST
We may lose a node for an hour every now and then, but then it just gets redirected, so it's all very stable.
Sam SethiHOST
Nice.

John NunemakerGUEST
Some things are on Heroku.
John NunemakerGUEST
Some things are self-hosted on Linode and things like that.
John NunemakerGUEST
And I think the things that have really changed factory-wise for me of creating software, It's like now it's like, okay, there's a little more upfront of like planning that I never did before.
John NunemakerGUEST
Like before it was always just like, well, I'll just, I know I've been building software forever.
John NunemakerGUEST
Can we do a test? Sure.
John NunemakerGUEST
So I spin up, you know, an Oregon instance.
John NunemakerGUEST
I run queries against it from compute in a, you know, Linode.
John NunemakerGUEST
And it's like it's going to be 22 milliseconds or something on every single query both ways.
EliHOST
And so one of the big issues for a lot of these platforms is again, you think about things like denial of service attacks, right? So you go out there and you get a VPS, right? Virtual Private Server.
EliHOST
does Linode still exist? Uh, DigitalOcean.
EliHOST
You go to DigitalOcean, you get a VPS.
EliHOST
And when you're going, you're going out there to buy a VPS, you can get the $4 a month VPS.
Jay GoldbergHOST
But they also have a cloud computing business.
Jay GoldbergHOST
They bought Linode a few years ago.
Jay GoldbergHOST
And they have not released many... details about what exactly Akamai is going to do for Anthropic.
Jay GoldbergHOST
And so I've been digging into it all morning, and there's a couple ways it could go, as far as I can tell.
Jay GoldbergHOST
They probably haven't been getting a lot of those in the deals they've signed.
Jay GoldbergHOST
They really need those now to do more inference.
Jay GoldbergHOST
And Linode and Akamai has a big pool of probably underutilized CPUs sitting around.
Jay GoldbergHOST
I also think there's another angle here, which is around the network topology.
Dave JonesHOST
Just by refactoring.
Adam CurryHOST
I thought my Linode alerts were low today.
Adam CurryHOST
I'm
Dave JonesHOST
like, I don't have as many.
Pete RizzoGUEST
They set up plans.
Pete RizzoGUEST
And then very quickly, what happens is that the website hosting service that they use, I don't know if folks are familiar with Linode.
Pete RizzoGUEST
It's a very popular service if you run a website.
Pete RizzoGUEST
It'll help you store your information to connect and run your website on the internet.
Adam CurryHOST
I put the whole thing together.
Adam CurryHOST
And I even made a remote version of it, spun up a $5 Linode.
Adam CurryHOST
I said, hey, make this work on a web interface.
Adam CurryHOST
It's all Python.
AaronHOST
So I was looking to extend one of those Ansible roles on GitHub to be able to do those additional pieces I needed.
AaronHOST
And I was in that situation where I was looking at it and I thought, well, I know it works for me, but in order to actually test this and to test that I haven't regressed the default behavior for anybody, I'm going to have to spin up, you know, a whole nother nebula cluster that doesn't interfere with my existing kind of prod environment, which is my home lab, right? And to do that, effectively, I had a separate Terraform that had to launch a new machine on Linode that has a public IP, as well as some LexD machines on my server in order to have a reasonable setup to test that.
AaronHOST
So it is a bit harder, I think, once you're talking about Ansible than it is with something that's just inside a container or whatever.
ShaneHOST
Yeah, because inside a container, your deployment unit is the namespace or whatever in general.
