Same type of thing as fiverr etc. Just stay away.
It's a shame - cause it seems like it could be a neat system. Plus, I would like a way to reduce the cost of all my virtual machines.
Tell me more about your virtual machines.
Not too much to tell really. I run a couple of hobby websites that get 10's to 100's of visitors per month. I have an unnecessary postgres server that keeps a bunch of datasets I've built up over the years for the rare instances where I want to query. I have a couple VMs that just run my web scraping scripts.
In general - they are easier for me to rent and setup than teardown!
When I learned about repl.it bounties my fantasy was something like "Do programming problems get VM credits" and it seemed ideal - but underwhelming in reality.
Buy a bunch of ebay thinclients and a switch?
