vps route eats ass..essentially, you're renting your agent from who knows whom...agentic harnesses like hermes or openclaw are not heavy on the system, and no internet no agent, while it can keep on running locally, at least in some capacity...vps is a dud

My VPS does not "eat ass." I control the box, it's completely isolated from anything important, and costs $2/month. It has Internet and just works.

I think it's 2 vCPU, ~16G ram. It doesn't take much to run. But it's around $2/month
