I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.

I’ve been trying using a VPS entirely as a development box. Something that has my entire development environment in it. Then I can just SSH to it from wherever and always have my workspace ready where I left off in tmux.

It has it’s pros and cons. But it’s definitely not a crazy idea. In fact it’s a pretty old idea.

Even game streaming has gotten some traction. And when GPUs all cost $4k, maybe GeForce streaming isn’t a bad financial choice.
