I get 10g symmetric in Austin for $150/m. I had Cox before, and it was $180ish for 1g down and ~50mb up. Things are improving!

Because Google Fiber HQed there. Come to Houston, where you'll pay >$200/mo for 5Gbit if AT&T covers your area or MUCH LESS if Ezee is an option.

What provider has 10G? Highest I've seen is 5. Genuine question - I'll keep them in mind next time I move across town!

You can get 8gb fibre for around $65/usd a month in Toronto.

9 Mothers YC P26 | Robotics / Software Engineering | Austin, ONSITE | $150-400k + equity + benefits | 9mothers.com

I'm Russ, one of the founders of 9 Mothers. We're making AI weapon systems out of Austin, TX. Our first product is for stopping group 1 suicide drones. We started in 2025 - still a small team under 20 people. We're hiring for a lot of roles, but mostly in software and robotics.

Cool! Are you interested in defense? If so, we're based in Austin, TX and in the current YC batch.

Are you interested in more robotics / defense?

Ditto. Though, I fixed my M1. I have an M4 max for work; the nano screen is a win. The perf is better, but it's really marginal unless actually doing stuff with the GPU, then it's super slow compared to a decent GPU anyway (i.e. h100, gb etc)

One of our engineers built a web-app crawler from scratch (why? enable users to quickly build a QA test plan). Jiri researched existing crawlers first and found nothing: he wrote about why build from scratch, plus technical challenges he ran into.

So good!

Gitea. Gitlab (ish?).

GitLab actually implemented Actions first back in the day (called CI/CD). I remember GitHub was following their lead.

Which is funny reading how TFA tries to feign ignorance:

> When we shipped Actions in 2018, we had no idea how popular it would become.

Gitea scales really badly with large repos in my experience. Gitlab works a lot better mostly because you can just throw more hardware at it. This is with a pretty large git repo and a lot of daily commits.

On the other hand, gitlab is a memory hog. You need a big vm dedicated to it.

We were on codeberg for a couple years and it was fine.

Yeah Gitlab is a pig, but that’s what I meant with you can throw hardware at the problem. I’ve been meaning to check out Codeberg for personal project hosting since it seems to address the shortcomings of gitea

GitLab scales much better horizontally than it does vertically.

4x 4c/16gb instances will perform much better than one 16 core 64GB instance.

You can also just use Gitlab Cloud but setup as many self hosted runners as you like.

>Gitea scales really badly with large repos in my experience.

Isn't it written in this super scaling language that everybody says scales super well?

What is the problem with it?

Is that true? There is obviously some creative work in connector design - optimizing for looks, robustness to damage, dirt, easy of use, reliability technically, etc.
