I wish I could say I'm surprised, but they've shown their colours a long time ago. They want feudalism and being little lords, not whatever bullshit they spew on their /mission page
it depends on your needs, if your setup is inside a Microsoft setup running it in azure is easier cause you can use the permissions and authentication that exists in your mfa/oauth setup. if its mainly Linux hosts then I jump between lowendvps for hobby projects, https://oxide.hosting for longer projects
I can't discuss the ins and outs now but I may be working on an analysis of non-US managed hosting. I think some people are realizing it's not even clear what's out there.
I used to work at Render, so I have some thoughts in this space, and honestly if I wasn't going to rawdog k8s, which I do like a pervert, coolify is really high on my list of Good Options.
you shouldn't be running hobby projects or small projects on those services it makes no sense to scale that soon in 80% of the projects that try make it lean, minimal and working on both a local dev and a simple low end vps. if you need to rapidly scale you can consider that.
OpenNext is making it easier to host Next.js beyond Vercel and so far the Next.js team at Vercel) has been helping make that easier (I know because I just interviewed everyone involved in the last few weeks)
How does the world feel about Netlify these days? In the process of moving blog to Astro and don’t want to use AWS stuff or VMs because ain’t got no time for that
I had the same urge after seeing that. I also saw Zuck, Tim Apple, Sundai, Satya and some others kissing the ring (congratulating) and gave up trying to make a ethical stand. I'll still move off Vercel and I deleted my X but otherwise I don't know what to do.
Indeed!!! I was already thinking to start a Coolify self hosted server. Now, after that post on X, I think it will be the final way!!! Let's leave Vercel!!!!
I don't understand how someone unironically can write this. Is it the founder brain or does it just happen when you make so much money that you stop caring about others?
Who tf is he even signaling to here [rhetorical question]? It's not like trump or anyone is his orbit has any clue what the hell vercel is. Pure performative dipshittery
That’s good to know! I have no ill will towards you but the last few times we’ve interacted on hacker news, I came away feeling like maybe you did. Probably just a me thing then.
Also I probably just should have emailed you or something then but my thought was that if it was true I didn’t want to make you even more upset, so best to just leave it. Guess that was the wrong call.
Yeah, he's very clearly not a walk in the park (I think it's a generational Hacker thing idk) but they're trying hard and building something cool and I pay for support so I don't have to like, argue with him in the forums if all else fails.

but really, I’d love to know more about your love, Kevin! (like when things are not feeling so bad)
just looked again and they have all kinds of AI bullshit too, good move
i've been renting VPSs and dedis for years so i never bothered
Taking a decade off web work to work on non web stuff means some skills have atrophied a bit
i stick to sysadmin instead of actual webdev, and $dayjob is not web either luckily
I still can't get that out of my head...

your non-enterprise project on vercel is the key difference to the political landscape of america
The one crafting your glasses can have same mentality as Guille...
That doesn’t mean that I can choose who I want to do business with and who I don’t. My glasses maker is not making their opinions public.
I have a feeling people will be surprised by who comes out of the woodwork as having supporting him all along.
There's no more reasons to hide it.

Oh well
if you don't need particular offerings, would suggest cf pages/workers instead
