Clodhost.com … Claude code with a web interface on your own (hetzner) VPS… and free!

I had a sense things may be turning against them when my accountant asked me last week if I’d like to participate in their new round ($750B premoney) with no carry. How am I suddenly blessed with such exclusive access, at no cost?!

This comment about the OpenClaw guy hits a little too close to home:

“Peter Steinberger is a great example of how AI is catnip very specifically for middle-aged tech guys. they spend their 20s and 30s writing code, burn out or do management stuff for a decade, then come back in their late 40s/50s and want to try to throw that fastball again. Claude Code makes them feel like they still got it.”

This inspired me to make https://poputrend.clodhost.com/

You can mess with assumptions and see how it projects out the population of any country/continent/the globe (based on 2024 data and trends).

ClodHost.com ... it's basically lovable but just claude (opus 4.6) on your own root ubuntu server, with a web wrapper to claude code. And no credits, unlimited claude usage. Also free if you sign up now to help me with beta testing! thanks!!

https://clodhost.com

Oh, I also used the tech to set up claudecrowd.clodhost.com .. a vps running claude code where anybody from the internet can submit the next prompt!!

Not much, what’s up with you?

Ha, thanks!!

I’ve always had it set up to dangerously skip permissions, I just start every new project in a vps, done. I’ve got it set up for the web too, give it a try at clodhost.com if you wanna help me beta test (you get a free VPS)!

Claude code all the way! If anybody wants to help me beta test my own web-based set up for managing multiple claude code instances on hetzner vpses: clodhost.com!

I actually use dozens of claude codes "in parallel" myself (most are sitting idle for a lot of the time though). I set up a web interface and then made it usable by others at clodhost.com if anybody wants to try it (free)!

I made something very similar for myself and now have decided to open it up to others if you want to help me beta test.. free for all and it sets you up with your own hetzner vps and you even share my claude code max account: clodhost.com

I think the right solution is charge whatever would maximize revenue, then distribute the revenues evenly among all residents/voters/whomever.

AI has more knowledge than everyone already, I wouldn't say smarter though. It's like wisdom vs intelligence in D+D (and/or life).. wisdom is knowing things, intelligence is how quick you can learn / create new things.

Hear hear!

I made the switch from Perl to php mostly because php executed a lot faster (without having to figure out any weird stuff like modperl) and I loved the little convenience functions just built-in like “strtoupper” and the date formatting stuff!

Also, I realized a side effect of a hypothetical world where everybody rode in robotaxis/waymos/even ubers is we’d effectively get congestion pricing everywhere (due to “surge” pricing), and the use of roads would actually fit into regular supply and demand market forces!

Your unique id is your “device id” so if you visit from the same browser (not incognito mode though) you’ll be the same user.

Okay, it should be a bigger random range now.. try reloading the page if you’d like!

Thanks, 20 miles it is! (Or will be when I get back to my computer… or actually I guess I can have Claude change it now)!

Ah, thanks for the feedback… I’n just using a geo IP lookup by peoples IP for the first “very rough” location, but I hadn’t considered that even a 7 mile radius can not be very anonymous in rural areas! Hmm.. is there a larger radius you feel you’d be comfortable with? Like 50 miles?

I always felt like they’re the database dogman would use.

In their defense, DoorDash always had a giant tipping screen… it’s just that they used to steal it from their drivers.

Not arguing too hard but people do have to spend some money to live regardless… it could be said people are less careful with their money when they feel like it’s losing value, so they spend more and save less. Yes it results in more spending but on what?

I believe boom has suggested it would only cut about 30% of the time off, and cost 3x.. not to mention needing to refuel to cross the pacific. :/

Give me 4K, joycons that never disconnect or drift, and up to 16 players locally, and I’m in!

I’m in regardless.

I had an idea for this you might want to consider adding: store the passwords/keys in the client, no server… but then shamir’s secret sharing to shard them along your contacts.

So when you open the app it asks you to choose five (?) friends you trust (who don’t know each other) from your contacts and it’ll ask them to install the app to help you store your secrets.

Then if you ever lose your phone or whatever when you reinstall the app you just have to remember at least three (?) of the five people you trusted and then will be able to restore your keys!

It would also ping the other contacts when open to make sure they still have your shards and redistribute them as you add/change/delete them.

Agreed on all three points!

1 and 2 I know they’re working on, and 3 hopefully this gets it on their radar!

That is the ideal strategy, but easier said than done. Once you’ve got that cash it’s very very hard to act like you don’t have it… especially when everybody knows you do.

Slightly off-topic, but has anybody else seen an issue with stripe's live checkout flow when you collect a phone number? People paying with Apple Pay will frequently have the first 2 or 3 digits doubled! So like 313105551212 will come through. Didn't seem to happen in the test environment.

(Oh also sometimes it defaults users (in the U.S.) to Anguilla as their country code (also +1) but then gives users an error their phone number is invalid.)

These guys are doing something sort of in that vein.. https://wolfsbane.ai/
