Feels like the real value here is zero setup.

Even spinning up a VM can be enough friction for beginners. A browser shell is kind of “good enough” for that.

Probably why tools like this keep sticking around. Wanna try.

It's been a while since I've used it but Google cloud shell is a good free platform for learning Linux commands as well

User mode linux is so cool.

Yes, User mode linux pretty cool project. If I'm not wrong, UML is kind of predecessor to gvisor or firecracker from a different era.

Well that server is worth 1M due to the 8GB RAM now!

I wonder how much money went into the hosting over the years.

A year ago I bought a Intel N100 Mini PC with 16 GB DDR5 RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $170.

Maybe it could have hosted the site too. It's certainly a lot faster than Azure VMs with 4 "vCPUs".

I've never tried Webminal (only used Linode for it's simplicity). But, it seems great. I'll probably try it out.

This is a good reminder that good enough + zero setup often beats more powerful solutions.

blegh, the content is interesting but i've grown numb towards AI speak. It's so generic that I lose interest halfway through.
