Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

A CUDA installations guide

A Magical Guide to Installing CUDA

This guide tries to make sense of installing NVIDIA CUDA on Ubuntu.

Disclaimer: Installing CUDA is a somewhat tedious and can be a problematic process. This guide worked for me, though if you have an unusual configuration you might need additional preparations to make this work. My machines are mostly blank Ubuntu machines.

For reference NVIDIA's official guides are here for CUDA and cuDNN.

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] or tweet at me @statisticsftw

This is a rough outline of how we utilize next.js and S3/Cloudfront. Hope it helps!

It assumes some knowledge of AWS.
