Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.
So it’s a thin client remote booting extremely slowly over a really high latency connection. Cool, the 1980s called and they want their tech back.
So they reinvented terminals, but worse
Put a swap file on that bad boy boy and they’ve invented downloading ram!
This is a revolution.
Wow this sounds useless. Congratulations or whatever.
Interesting experiment, but I’d rather have a personal machine that isnt completely useless when/if the internet goes out. Also would be nice not to depend on a centralized service that could easily revoke access.
Seems like it’s better suited for company work computers.
when/if the internet goes out.
Or worse, when it basically sends a different image…
Looks like a new CVE dropped lol

Good luck booting when Google nukes your account
y tho
So we’re back to
PXIPXE? Everything old is new again.Neat technical problem to solve though just for fun
Reminds me of the image macro about using drive as your swap
One of my duties in my first job was to build diskless computers. I’d record an EPROM in the station and boot from a Novell server.
