@keyboardpipette for convenience i think it is quite convenient on hetzner since i use vs-code remote-ssh anyway all the time and mount remote folders when needed using sshfs. It is a bit expensive (there is a one time setup fee) even though transfer bandwidth is quite large but ssd pricing is an issue

@keyboardpipette for what it is worth i rent a server on hetzner for similar purposes since my internet connection is trash. It is about 50 USD per month, 62 GB ram, 20 threads with avx2 (sadly no avx512). But i guess for long term usage, buying one should be better
