    Yes. The cave is better, because the cave has The Yeti. Nobody messes with The Yeti, not even online where he's moderator. /s

    However, you can always trust him with data and compiling software. I don't know his terms though with regards to CPU usage.

    Stop the planet! I want to get off!

    Normally a cave would be chock full of fermented food and dried jerky. I don't know how a Yeti would find room in his cave for a powerful server. What's more, running the electric power and the internet cables down deep into the cave must be quite a trick as well.

    Basement hosts have it super easy compared to cave hosts. In basements, the electric power and internet cables usually are already built in!

    I can imagine that service from a cave host could be much more expensive than service from a basement host!

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    There was a guy who had all the sources for all of Slackware organized in a repo. I remember looking at it, but I can't seem to find it now. Maybe somebody has a link? Maybe there are additional places to get Slackware sources?

    Additionally, I'm curious to hear where our beloved Yeti gets the sources on which he runs his cave based compiler?

    Thanks! !>

  • I've used a VPS to compile for different CPU architectures. For example, there is a fairly popular riscv development board that originally shipped with only 64 mb of RAM. So, a cloud provider offering slightly more RAM seemed beneficial. A bit of an odd use case but it is what it is I guess.
