I just tried this and it’s pure pain on the modern web. Granted it’s a Rpi3 so it’s ram limited, but I have to do a lot more optimization to get it to run stable enough for decent web browsing or streaming a video.
It already exists. There are businesses whose model is that they rent out vram that you can offload tasks to
And for a couple of years now tech companies have been talking shout how cool it would be for computers to be just portals with all the processing power being online somewhere (as a subscription model)
Thanks, Mark. Can we now have normal RAM prices again?
Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*
*premium subscription required for >12gb, metered pricing for >20gb usage
I’d rather go back to raspberry pi levels of compute with BBS style text only sites.

Yeah, it’s got to be old school text based with at best low quality images. Or use extensions like Text Mode. Modern web is very bloated.
Don’t give them any ideas

we all know its coming, and this is the end game, its a matter of time.
Careful man, with thinking like this you are about to get recruited to upper management at an evil mega-tech corporation.
No! Shut up, plebe! Nobody asked you!
No one ever asks me. :(
Imagine them using open source services instead their own ones and addressing the plebs. 🤭
