Yup, ended up going with oracle. Free is good for me, and im totally new to this so it doesnt really make a difference to me if theres a minor interface difference between 2 providers.
There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term
44gb for 1080 seems to be a remux file, which is the source of channel not converted but only repackaged. Just remove remux from your profiles and sed radarr to upgrade to other 1080 profiles by moving remux down in the list.
I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.
If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.
No they didn’t grandfather anybody in, they made the price changes to compute universally back in April of last year. The only plan not changed was the $5 nanode so if that’s all you’re running then that’s probably why your bill didn’t change.
My experience with Proton has been really great so far. Constant steady improvements to their services and UI/UX, I wish I had switched to them sooner.
If you have Proton Premium point your domain to SimpleLogin and use it. Its included with Proton Premium. Its helped me root out 2 places so far that have sold my email address or were compromised and failed to disclosure.
if youre running a full domain, you dont even need to manually create alias' unless you need to reply/send as.
i've found i rarely need to do that, so you can literally just use an email address literally off the top of your head, have it all forwarded to a catch all and youre done. none of this extra service stuff. again, unless you require 'send as/aliasing'.
You cannot turn off the proton aliases, one of my aliases (those with +) got compromised and I’m still getting phishing emails on that one. You can create a rule for that mail but you cannot completely disable it. There is also Proton Pass which does the same as SimpleLogin and also stores Passwords. You should check it out as well.
Domain naming authorities require identification for the registration of domains. You cannot purchase domains anonymously. You can pay Njalla and they own the domain, and they’ll tell you that you can control it, but you have no rights to it in any kind of dispute.
All my <TLD> are redacted and I still full own. in the .nz space there has to be a real contact person, and I’m ok with that as I’m a big boy that has been online for over 1/4 of a century now.
Racknerd has VPSs starting at around $10/yr. Been using them to host my email/nextcloud/jellyfin proxies for a while now with no issues or unexpected downtime. They don’t have any of Linode’s advanced features, but they’re pretty hard to beat price-wise.
I have personally been using OVH for $1.05/month. This offer is only available for their new customers and also is only offered in certain regions as well. I’ve been using it for my personal small projects to host my frontend projects and also as VPN server as well. It is now more than a month since I’ve been using it and haven’t had any issues so far.
Another platform I might suggest is Oracle cloud. They have a free VPS offer FOREVER. If you’re register for the first time and their system gives you an error it’s their “fair usage policy” of some sort where their system might think you’re someone that’s trying to abuse their free offerings(best not to waste time if it doesn’t work the first time). If you do register tho, you might need to do a few research when you’re starting out initially. The platform has lots of options and tools and it might get overwhelming if this is your first time. Nonetheless, I believe it is manageable tho. It just takes a little bit of time to get used to their interface.
+1 for the Oracle solution. I use one for my public IP, and port forward over WireGuard to my home. They claim something like 480Mbps, but it’s nowhere near that, at least for external traffic. But in any event I’ve been using it for a few months with no real complaints.
And yes, I fully appreciate the irony of trying to self-host services to get away from big corporations, but relying on Oracle to do so.
I just signed up to oracles free cloud service after watching a video where it was said it was always free, but the wording on oracle’s site made it seem like its a trial. Are there two free options?
I assume you’re referring to the two free instance you get with the x86 VMs. And that is correct. As far as I remember, they offer you two VMs with x86 1VCPU and 40GB of block storage minimum or you can create 5 VMs with ARM with CPUs with lots of cores and memory each having 40 GBs of storage(don’t remember the exact use-case). If you want to know what you are getting, please read the doc I have attached for you for always free resources. They offer you free 200GB in total and the bandwidth they offer is 20TB/month with 1Gbps speeds for each VMs (I might be wrong tho. It’s been a while since I’ve used their service). Also, in case you’re wondering why I’m not using a free service like this is, I used one of their servers to pirate copyrighted material. They’ll ban you without warning so read their terms of services and try not to be a fool like I am. docs.oracle.com/…/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Reso…
Basically when I was registering it had some wording like “start your free trial now” but once I got into the dashboard there was a message that cleared things up. So I have a free trial of what I assume is a higher tier of their service, which upon running out will revert me back to the Always Free tier.
