Exactly. Same price but better specs. The current provider is OVH and they recently started to host VMs in Italy.


It doesn't. You can Always translate the text in your favourite language. The project aims to send the forecasts to the users, so can't be multilingual. Anyway, that's the reason why there are the emojis. Those ones are international.


Thank you!


BTW, how do you feel about ActivityPub in general?


I like it. It's not perfect, but it's a good way to make sure that platforms will continue to be able to federate. They're evolving and things will improve. The experience is much better today, compared to some years ago.


Thanks!


Thank you!


thank you!


thanks!



This one was slightly above 4 EUR (but without any minimum contract duration)

Here are actually the 4 EUR and below offers: https://www.netcup.com/de/server/guenstige-vserver-angebote

Funnily I on first sight could not find the same page in english.


For a desktop experience? Sure! For a server that needs to be supported for many years? Well...


Is this a different timeline where suddenly everything is the other way round?


That's a curious take. Today's Linux distributions are more reliable than ever with more long-term support than ever.

What changed is that you usually do not run a snowflake anymore which you carefully update to the next version in situ, but some amount of compute and storage. Today everything is blue-green and updates mean deploy, destroy behind a load balancer.


Well what? Don't most servers run Linux? And support is good assuming you pick a distro that fits


They do. And yes, choosing a good distribution will help. But the fact that most servers run Linux isn't indicating it's the best choice. Most desktops run Windows - and this doesn't mean it's the best desktop OS :-)


> But the fact that most servers run Linux isn't indicating it's the best choice

True, but server choice is typically made by professionals, while desktop choice typically isn't. So people measure those two by a (imo correct) double standard


Sure, but that's also why I asked you explain your comment.


I've explained it here, even if it's a bit long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnVp25-6Qao


Don't Amazon run their servers on Linux?


For desktop? If you not using gnome then yes.


This is a bit long, but I replied here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnVp25-6Qao
