Just shut down my last VPS at #linode

Went back in billing history, started with them at $5/mo in 2017. I was so happy for so long.

Then Akamai buys them, and moves the pricing far away from what any non-commercial entity should need to pay.

Stuck on there easily another 1-2 years extra simply because I couldn't get the time to make the move :blobcatprofit:

But now the demon is exorcised. Moved on to #hetzner since their US presence is pretty solid. Early vibes are definitely good, just need to keep them away from Akamai.

I’ve had it planned for months, finally made the migration from #linode to #hetzner

I always knew that Akamai buying linode would be hellish on pricing, but i never thought it’d be this bad.

Good riddance.

Also went from bare metal to the docker route. Led to a little (ok a lot, since I am still learning docker) more work to plan out a custom build for the customizations, but wow it is going to be SO nice to have it all scripted right in the compose.

#MastoAdmin

I have an #ubuntu #UbuntuServer question.

I am running my own #nextcloud server (snap) on #Linode (ubuntu-server 20.04). When I run updates via SSH the TUI always asks which daemons I would like to restart. This baffles me so I always keep the pre-selected (with *) choices, tab over to "OK", and hit enter.

Am I doing this wrong?

GitNex, LabNex and NexNode does not use ads and track you in anyway. They are free and open-source.

But it comes with a cost, spent time on it and your support here matter a lot. So if you can help in any way possible, please do so, much appreciated.

i am still proud of this sticker i did for Major League Hacking in 2022 while at Linode. It's the mascot, Linny, doing their best reenactment of my favorite version of the cover for the book 'Neuromancer.'

Jesus fucking christ why does signing up for a #VPS feel like a blood contract with a demon?!?!

They rejects EVERYTHING I put in, name phone numbers, emails, credit cards, all of it is appaeently "fake" (none of it is fake, I use them regularly)

#Oracle #Linode #Server

This is such a terrible #web anti-pattern. Why did it take like 20 seconds to figure out how to login to my !#@$!# site I pay a few hundred a month.

I knew #akamai would f-up #linode

Mainly upset about the pricing, but even stuff like UX directly informs how you feel about your userbase. Why is the login link tiny, and above TWO folds.

Now that #hertzner has a US DC, I am looking to migrate. But I just need some time to duplicate the setup and ponder the move. Test the migration a few times, etc.

For fremtiden sin del, så håper eg #UpCloud setter en standard ved å åpne datasenter i #Norge - ikkje fordi eg e så glad i hvordan datasentere driftes, men fordi server leverandører i Norge ikkje retter seg mot forbrukere på en effektiv og moderne måte.

Eg vil at #Linode og #DigitalOcean slår følge, eller at Norske datasentere begynner å samarbeide for å kunne konkurrere.

I may be biased by my local infrastructure, but why the fuck is mirrors.linode.com transferring like, 600kB/s?!

#linode #vps

Apparently I have to have at least one #Linode running or they don't serve my DNS. This doesn't make sense to me because I still have website buckets which need the domain to work, and those are charged separately

The speed and quality of the reply from customer support at #Akamai to a question regarding a #linode instance is really worth a few 👍 here !

Just compared prices between #VirtualMachines from #Hetzner and #Linode, both whom I have used well over the years, but I have mainly had physical servers with Hetzner.
Just found out that on average Hetzner VMs are 1/3rd of the price of similar/same machines from Linode.

That is a huge difference!

Can anyone recommend a good VM hosting service akin to Linode in its heyday. I just need a low power VM or two for my own personal infrastructure. I need a real VM with a shell. These aren't for websites. Bonus if Gentoo Linux is an available OS option.

Fantastic, my #Linode that hosts mastodon.vanlife.is broke (I was updating to mastodon 4.5) and the backup from this morning won't restore..

As a matter of fact, NO backup is able to restore ..

Created a ticket and I am waiting for a response. But until I get this fixed the site is offline =/

@Mer__edith Even if it is necessary to keep a central control plane and centrally managed relay systems, there's no reason why you need to run in a single cloud or on a hyperscalar. Especially with the end-to-end trust model that #Signal has, the security requirements on control and relay nodes is lower.

There are also other non-hyperscalar clouds which would fit some of these needs. For example, the #Akamai Cloud (formerly #Linode) has been expanding its global footprint precisely for the use-case of taking on applications needing global footprint and performance but without being tied to a hyperscaler.

Using tools such as Terraform and Kubernetes can help orchestrate multi-provider / cross-platform deployments.

(Disclaimer: I'm an employee of Akamai, but also a long-time personal supporter of Signal.)

i've had a #linode since 2008. just deleted it and closed the account. never was an akamai fan, but it wasn't the acquisition that did it for me.

in other news, expect a post on installing #omnios on #ec2 coming soon

@anticdent @interstar my other blocker is that my #linode is so old I'm going to have to have them spin up a brand new node for me to set up and migrate to, which I just don't want to face. So I've been playing with some local stuff (#RandomParagraph, #VibePrototyping).

Today, i've been a very good boy, who made the internet a better place. :3 :blobpats:

Some genius put the whole #Linode object storage domain on a #SPAM #Mail #DNS filter list (#PiHole) - FIVE MONTHS AGO! 😱

That list is maintained by #SemperVideo (German TechTuber), who still hasn't found their way to the Fediverse, just like Linode, as well as #Level1Techs. 🤨

I'm discussing it in the L1 forum 👀👉 https://forum.level1techs.com/t/level1-linode-gets-dns-filtered-by-pihole/239199/3
