linux/self host newbies, now is a good time to get you a cheap server (lemm.ee)

Lot of sales for 4th of july (and ongoing ones) where you can pay $10-$14 for a YEAR of a small cheap VPS. Usually only has 1GB of memory, but that's plenty to play around with and learn. If nothing else, a good cheap ipv4 you can use for some port forwarding. There are lots of options, but I've used racknerd and ethernetservers which have been fine.

I have my own server at home, but I bought two small ones to start learning Ansible with in a risk free way. Eventually plan to redo my main server with a complete Ansible setup, really want to hop on that "infrastructure as code" train.

That's the kind of thing I would expect them to take down before most other misuses.

Yeah probably, I didn’t go crazy with it though since it only has 200gb storage anyway and it’s always been behind a vpn.

For torrenting I just pay for putio and have the minimal 100GB account with a script that rclones everything down to my local storage so it is always freed up. I could probably do something similar on oracle with a vpn, but then I'd have to actually wait for most of the torrents to complete.

I just looked, $10 a month for 100gb? That’s ridiculous.

[–] stankbucket@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The storage is mostly irrelevant. I just pull everything down immediately and use them as a bt proxy. Their network effect allows you to get any popular torrents immediately.

[–] HolyHell@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Public or private torrents though?

[–] stankbucket@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter

I just mean because if it’s mostly public torrents then something like real debrid is way cheaper and almost all magnet links I try are already cached so I just download it straight from them. And for movies and stuff you can just stream without needing to download anything.
