That's wonderful and I know why it's an Indian founder. Was so hard to get a remote shell back then. Indian debit cards didn't work online reliably and so on. So what's the hardware underneath? Cloud server or on-prem?
These days the world is amazing. Oracle Cloud gives you a ton for free. But perhaps there's some niche where this is useful. I have to say that this shared screen comms system is outrageously crazy, hahaha.
This is so fascinating, I've never heard of UML!
How many users can this support simultaneously? It says 256MB RAM per user, 8GB total on server? But it's probably more than 32 simultaneous users?

Feels like the real value here is zero setup.
Even spinning up a VM can be enough friction for beginners. A browser shell is kind of “good enough” for that.
Probably why tools like this keep sticking around. Wanna try.
It's been a while since I've used it but Google cloud shell is a good free platform for learning Linux commands as well

User mode linux is so cool.
Yes, User mode linux pretty cool project. If I'm not wrong, UML is kind of predecessor to gvisor or firecracker from a different era.
Well that server is worth 1M due to the 8GB RAM now!
I wonder how much money went into the hosting over the years.
A year ago I bought a Intel N100 Mini PC with 16 GB DDR5 RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $170.
Maybe it could have hosted the site too. It's certainly a lot faster than Azure VMs with 4 "vCPUs".
I've never tried Webminal (only used Linode for it's simplicity). But, it seems great. I'll probably try it out.
Sure thanks, Let me know if you have feedback.
This is a good reminder that good enough + zero setup often beats more powerful solutions.
iximuiz also give you 1 hour per day free i think.
very easy to use. almost instant.
blegh, the content is interesting but i've grown numb towards AI speak. It's so generic that I lose interest halfway through.
Yeah, the content itself is amazing but the AI writing detracts from that. I'd much rather read broken English than GPT output.
That being said I really enjoyed reading this, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
