I run outsourcing agency, we work with US clients and have seen lots of fake applications (different degree of sophistication), so far we have either rejected them right away, or we were able to filter them during (remote) interviews.
That's exactly one of my use cases, I have setup runner for 2 projects last week and action runtime went down by a large margin, from 10-15 to 3-4 minutes.
I use single dedicated server that costs ~40EUR/month, AX41-NVME, and each runner is a separate user account to allow for some isolation.
Depending on your setup, you might need to spent some time adjusting jobs to have proper setup/cleanup and isolation between them (but it's not really Hetzner specific, just general issue).
For anyone looking for really straightforward way to get cloud hosting credits, checkout out IBM cloud: https://developer.ibm.com/startups/ you can get a $1000/month credit for one year no commitment to continue using them after.
$1000/month is actually really impressive. I have seen a couple of others that offer some free credit but not nearly as much. For example Azure only gives $200 for your first 30 days https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/search
The real question is: is using IBM cloud worth it? I haven't had any experience but I might be willing to try if they are just handing out money like that.
Was spending $20k/mo with IBM at the peak in 2019, have since migrated to AWS and left IBM completely.
Thoughts:
- Support, including paid enterprise support, was hilariously bad. It would take 3 days of escalations to the account manager to get even get someone to look at a ticket, weeks to resolve anything.
- Billing is a broken mess. There is no common uuid between the billing and storage systems. It's literally not possible to link a billing line to a storage resource. Nobody at IBM I discussed this with felt it was a problem, but my stack dynamically provisions disks so this was actually a huge issue for me.
- Managed IoT services would change under us with no notice, new quotas kicking in that took us completely offline. Nobody bothered to reach out before flipping the quotas on.
I could continue but I think you get the picture.. dont take their $1k/mo poison pill, you dont want to go prod with these incapable morons.

Having just finished a job that used an IBM tool ( IBM Sterling File Gateway ) , I want to throw in that I'll _never_ pay for an IBM product again, their support was awful , I think they actually helped the situation once out of the 30 times we called them.
Probably not, my tip is to sign up, but then wait for the recording to be available (they usually are), once a recording is posted you can see where did they post it to and then download.
I do this from time to time
When required people just omit the diacritic signs and replace the letter with regular ASCII letter, so for example: ż->z, ł-l, ó->o, etc.
When used in (computer) writing this is very readable, but no one would do this with handwriting, I think most common cases nowadays would be SMS messages (especially on dump phones) or some weird displays that are unable to properly render diacritic letters.
Some webmail clients (and potentially other web communicators like online chats - FB messenger, etc) might pre-fetch all URLs send in the email or chat.
The pre-fetching will use the user's context (and cookies) because it's executed by the user's web browser.
I paged through - the rent price estimates in Seattle strike me as low. Obviously I don't have strong statistics to back this up but when I looked for one bedroom apartments a year and a half ago everything was at least $1700 and many were not in the city center. Prices have increased considerably since then.
But overall I like the idea as a roadmap for learning particular language or skill set. I'd like to something like that but with references to material where particular skill can be learned, etc
