For fuck’s sake.
Digital Ocean have joined the other numbskulls and have given a bunch of money to the Fascist-ware set of dotfiles that it omarchy.
Millions for a set of configs on top of Arch Linux.
Now I need to find an alternative.
For those not sure why people are jumping ship from people who are supporting dhh’s config files, here’s one of them: “as i remember london by dhh“
So I turn to AskFedi first for any recommendations for alternatives.

I hope you get other recommendations, but from a statistical sample of one:
I used Ramnode for a few years without issue, but I only had one cheap VM. They were bought by Inmotion.
To my knowledge, neither is especially evil. But I haven't done extensive research.
I'll be moving my lone DigitalOcean VM to Ramnode within a week or two.
Dont post links to shit
The link is there for people who think “why do people hate this guy etc”. Those who are not aware. It is obviously not an endorsement.
@david pretty happy with my Fedora/Wayland/Niri setup.
@david I remember 1984.hosting being really good, though they probably don't offer nearly the same.
@david I use Linode only because I started when they were really Linode. Now they're Akamai. I haven't had problems, even with running my own SMTP server, but I'm wary nonetheless.
@david@davidpeach.me what do you need to run on it and where are your users? i have a supercheap vps on openbsd.amsterdam. its fine for mailserver, single user fediserver, webserver. previously i used ransomit which was always reliable, servers in asia and australia.
@david I've been using Vultr for almost a decade, and am mostly happy with them. I haven't audited them for fascism-adjacency, however. It would be a major pain to migrate because of the mail server IP reputation I built on it.
@david This process has really been instructive in sorting out the assholes.
It really has. Every cloud, I suppose.
“Every cloud has a silver lining” I meant; not every cloud provider 😀
@david I assumed, although the duality switched it up a bit 👊🏼
@david Try Northflank
i don’t know of any alternatives but does this mean it’s now ethical to plagiarize their tutorial articles on my own website? there are a few i do keep returning to
