I've built a socks5 proxy especially for AI agents, currently there are exit points in east and west US, central EU and east Asia. The payment for the service is settled by the X402 protocol, with USDC on circle/base. You can also purchase access via crypto on the webpage for humans, but the key focus is for autonomous agents.
It is a useful tool and easy to use if you're building monitoring or telemetry for nvidia gpus.

Life is shit sometimes, when he is out, he'll be out. Or he'll find some way of generating income, and then he gets another chance.
I've been in similar situations myself, and there is absolutely no reason to get stuck up regardless how stressful and painful it is, you can only do your best and that's it.
But the truth is that we ran service based architecture, network meshes and containers with bash just fine before cloud everything, usually with less effort than it is to do literally anything today. Sure you had to know how to set up network bonding and how to tune your systems.
Very, very few people and businesses _needs_ kubernetes or it's cousins. Most just need a decent system administrator.
Thank you for pointing it out.
I don't mind the scale, I like it. I don't like having to fend off questions and complaints why we aren't deploying the latest shiny new thing in our core this week.
This is almost as easy as it was to call someone and asking them for the number of the modem on their desk and their logins back in the bad old days.
Considering the target platform I'm not overly surprised though.
I guess it wouldn't be technically challenging to create a platform for this, the problem would be to bring the right users and as you say, moderate the content to avoid what it has become today.
Show your certificates? Amazing!
Selfie with some half-assed inspirational "leader" quote? No!

I want to blame juniors, the no-code and ai-code crowd, but I'm as lazy as they are and will just shake my head and move on.
Secondly it reminds me of the time when it simply made sense to ninja-break and rebuild mdraids with ssds in-place of the spinning drives WHILE the servers were running (sata kind of supported hotswapping the drives). Going from spinning to ssd gave us a 14x increase in IOPS in the most important system of the platform.
"News" as it is presented today is not a "product" that anyone should pay for.

Info: I'm an experienced platform engineer, devops etc. I'm currently hacking on AI related stuff.As soon as you expect paying customers in your system you need to have someone with the knowledge and experience to deal with infrastructure. That means logging, monitoring, alerting, security etc.
DevOps.. amateurs.
