Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I've heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.
If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).
You might want to start scouring for DDLs and start seeding it yourself though you could also just wait. I've had torrents sit on 0 seeders for months before someone started seeding again.
Debian + nginx + docker (compose).
That's usually enough for me. I have all my docker compose files in their respective containers in the home directory like ~/red-discordbot/docker-compose.yml.
The only headache I've dealt with are permissions because I have to run docker as root and it makes a lot of messy permissions in the home directories. I've been trying rootless docker earlier and it's been great so far.
edit: I also use rclone for backups.
The last feature I liked from Discord was screensharing. Everything else since has been useless or outright terrible.
If you don't know what osu! is, it's a really popular rhythm game where you click circles to the beat or rhythm of a song.
"lazer" is their new open source client they've been developing for several years now.
Just wanted to add that you also get two free AMD64 servers (1C/1GB). Been using mine for a year now but I do agree - don't use it for anything personal or critical. Make backups!
Yeah I use adblock.
If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank
Depending on what kind of content they serve, they usually still make a lot of money.
Are they really charging a 50% price increase on top of the discontinuation of the free mailbox? Looking at the sheet, they're charging 35 EUR for my domain that normally costs me 20 EUR and only 13 USD on sites like Cloudflare... Am I not reading it right?
Arch with i3wm

They're generic keys IIRC.
I have friends who still default to utorrent. Every time I see their desktops with utorrent in the taskbar, I let out an audible WTF and show them the light (qBittorrent).
Honestly, if you're someone making gaming videos, it's hard to find an audience in other platforms.
They do a $100 test charge IIRC when upgrading to their PAYG (pay-as-you-go) tier. They also don't like virtual/prepaid CCs.
I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They're a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.
Mine is about a year old as well. I'm also curious to know what triggers these bans. I also noticed people bringing up Minecraft servers on r/oraclecloud. I personally have a Valheim server running for months but I haven't had any issues.

I don't know if it counts but I've been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It's pretty much the standard nowadays.
Mass Effect series. Especially ME3 with the DLC's. I think it was the Citadel DLC that I enjoyed the most. The game was really emotional at times.
I don't remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.
I'm absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren't planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.
I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.
Anyway, I don't really care what happens to r/piracy. There's a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I'm sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.
