Reply to comment by Damitrix in [D] Cloud providers for hobby use by gyurisc

The same thing can be said for someone never standing up server in AWS, GCP, AZURE, VPS, DIGITAL OCEAN.

I don't get your point.

A 3090 VM around $0.50 an hour on a lot of providers (less if you look around). If you're a hobbyist experimenting 6 hours a day for a week that's $21.00.

Compare to $1100 for the machine you quoted.

Your cost did not account for storage and bandwidth

Using Runpod as an example: bandwidth is free and storage is $0.0013 per GB hour.

If you use a 100GB disk that's an extra $2.87.

Is the 3090 VM on AWS? Sounds really interesting. I might give it a try

Thanks, I signed up. Are you using the community cloud or the secure one?

Typically secure if it's available, community cloud if not. Have a look on "browse servers" for the community cloud instances, their specs can range quite a bit so make sure to get one that fits your use-case.
