4d2.org awesome group of people
focused on self-hosting, gave us our cool email address.
stickersstickers.com they
gave us cool stickers (250 of them lol).
You could be here! Email us at
botswanacompute@4d2.org.
Botswana Compute Group
We run the botswana compute cluster, giving free compute resources
to kids. Currently just cpus (we have ~24 cores to give/host
things), but gpus are in the near future.
When I was younger, it was a struggle to get ways to host my things
(such as lhsface.me, chessanalysis.tech). In case you couldn't tell
by the domain name, I scavenged around for free things that didn't
require a credit card. I struggled and wasted time on these
endevaours, so I made the BCG.
But gpus are the future!... We have 8 arc gpus, we just need the
enclosure for them. If you want to sponsor us for ~500-1000 USD,
that'd be great. (I'll make an ad for ya)
Who are we?
We are just a group of people from Leland High School. None of us are
from Botswana, just fans of Botswana (we even got stickers lol)! We also
like computing, might as well make it free. Our names will be private on
the public web, but you can
email us to find out
information!
FAQ
- Why are you doing this?
-
I have Azure non-profit credits for this, might as well spend
them on our mission statement.
- What access do I get?
-
Probably ssh access if I can verify that you're a real teenager
and not a scammer. Otherwise, we will deploy the code.
- How do I get access to begin with?
-
Email us at
botswanacompute@4d2.org, or if you're a cool kid, join our
discord server
- What am I getting from this?
-
Just shared access to 8 vcpus on azure located in India. For
this year only (as of right now), there will be 16 vcpus in
India, 64gb ram, 4tb storage. Just don't use up too much and
you'll be fine.
Things we find cool!
Evan Conrad, who has indirectly roasted us in so many tweets, but is
also very cool. SF Compute Company, also very cool and is currently
letting me do my AP Research project lol.
