Introduction
If you want to host some ever-running script, what option do you have?
- Run on your laptop, and never sleep / off it (??)
- Get a Raspberry Pi (ugh.. overkill)
- Pay a few dollars to host it somewhere (few dollars to host something so small.. worth?)
- Ask your friend to run on his/her laptop and never off it.
Option 4 seems to be the best option if you manage to convince.
Fortunately I have the opportunity of abusing my personal VM at work. I mean, not abusing, it's somewhat related to work too. I'm sure.
