It does not let you launch an app without a card.

Is that directed at @-unrelated-?

yes

But I asked them what they meant because the link said what they said

It used to. I think they recently changed their plans

ninjamar.dev
GitHub
Cloud Lists
Video Player

Oh! That is probably the legacy hobby plan.

So we have:

Possible but against TOS
Impossible for most projects
Credit card required
No guide to set up

I think we need a guide for deta.space or a new option

Always remember that free hosting services have lots of servers which are very expensive + they have to pay for the electricity used. That's why hosting services are mostly paid. And abusing not supposed to be free services as free services seems illegal. It's best to either have a paid hosting service or have your own server.

github actions (iafu) (guide: here)
pythonanywhere (rdfue)
fly.io (mafku)
deta.space (ifu?)
more?

i = unlimited free runtime/bandwidth
r = almost unlimited free runtime/bandwidth (e.g. refresh needed every now and then or high limits)
m = limited free runtime/bandwidth (e.g. 1000 minutes per month)
a = arbitrary internet access (no limitation like on pythonanywhere)
d = database included
c = cheap but not free
f = free
k = credit card required
l = limited access
u = not ip banned
e = easy to set up
? = what???

github workflows have limited run time per month and it'll stop automatically once that finished, you have to pay for unlimited.

No. That's only the case for actions on private repos

Github actions still doesn't limit runtime per month but the last few days the cron trigger doesn't seem to work properly

Deta.space guide:

Create an account using this link
Go to this url
Click “start building” and do step 1
Prepare for step 2: Put all your source files in <project folder>/src/. Pip/npm/cargo config files (such as requirements.txt) go outside of src/. I haven't experimented much but probably put everything that isn't one of these files (or the spacefile) should go in src/. If you use a venv or similar, put that folder somewhere completely unrelated. If deta.space sees it nothing will work.
Do step 2.
If the spacefile is empty or only has 2 lines, go through this page and add the relevant stuff

At this point you should have:

~/
|- venv (if you have it)
|- project folder
  |- Spacefile
  |- Package manager files (eg. requirements.txt)
  |- src/
    |- <everything else>

Do step 3. If it complains about the spacefile being wrong, do #5

You now have a test URL which only works if you're signed in. If you want other people to see it, go to deta.space/builder, click on the app, go to publish, create release, then fill out the information. Make sure the publicly avaliable toggle is off. (this will only make it non-searchable, people with the link can still access it).

I just realized deta.space probably won't work for long-running things, it's intended for everyone to have a different instance of an app. So not as useful as normal hosting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

UPDATE: see this post for actual hosting on deta.space. Each request is limited to 20 seconds so still somewhat limited but it's free

You have to turn it on when you create an account apparently

i love the fact that it says in a “like pythonanywhere” but in the pythonanywhere lettering “a” is not anywhere (get it like anywhere and pythonanywhere)

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.
