What it does

Ditch your shared host for Octohost. VPS servers built for gaming — 2 GB RAM, unlimited SSD, dedicated IP from $5.99/month or $3.49/week.

Ditch your shared host. We use only private VPS servers, that are actually built with gaming in mind. All of our servers have a dedicated IP address included, so you don't have to deal with silly port numbers. We only use SSDs on our servers so that you can get gaming faster than ever before. Play with peace of mind, knowing that your server is secure from DDoS attacks. Manage your server with the latest version of the AMP control panel by Cubecoders, included! Don't want a month of service? That's A-OK! We support weekly billing too. Most support requests are responded to within the hour. Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments!

    ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

    Octosphere, a tool to decentralise scientific publishingFeb 2026 · octosphere.social · ▲64

    Hey HN! I went to an ATProto meetup last week, and as a burnt-out semi-academic who hates academic publishing, I thought there might be a cool opportunity to build on Octopus (https://www.octopus.ac/), so I got a bit excited over the weekend and built Octosphere. Hopefully some of you find it interesting! Blog post here: https://andreasthinks.me/posts/octosphere/octosphere.html
