<div dir="ltr">also: depending on the time scales of havingt these machines, it sometimes makes sense to just have a mini itx/ micro tower/etc at home!

They are in Europe so latency should be pretty good from England. I don't build GHC regularly but I have just purchased a machine similar to <a href="https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex62-nvme" target="_blank">this one from Hetnzer</a> (with only a single 500GB Samsung 500GB 970 EVO Plus) and it makes a meal of my client's application with many dependencies. We use a Hetzner machine at work as a CI server and it hasn't let us down yet.<br><br>Note that I used to use GCP because my MacBook Air wasn't really up to the task. I'd use tmux and emacs so things were pretty good (on a free trial with preemptible — shut down your machine when you're not using it and it can be pretty cheap). However, SSD speeds are not like those you get with a dedicated server. IIRC 300Gbps vs 1000Gbps.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Steve.</div><br></div>
