I think that should be enough. Maybe try two vCPUs if you wanna host other stuff too. But for just some mirrors/aggregators, one vCPU is probably enough. I don’t think you really need to worry about RAM or storage either.

Computers are plenty fast these days. I think you’ll only start to see actual performance issues when handling hundreds of simultaneous users.

In any case, you shouldn’t be spending over $10/month. You can get much lower. Take a look at this. I don’t know how reliable or secure they are, but they’re very cheap. I’ve used their VPS in the past, and it seemed pretty okay.

Edit: You can also do what I do for heavier stuff like Jellyfin or Immich, and simply use the VPS as a relay. The actual stuff runs on my home server, connects to the VPS via Wireguard, which then masks its IP.

Not always. You can pay by crypto at many places e.g. https://kyun.sh/

Also, many of the providers don’t really validate anything so you can get away with providing random information, and paying with a prepaid debit card.

The Dark Knight Rises. I was in middle school, and my someone had told my parents that it was extremely violent. Anyway, my cousin had a pirated copy, so I watched it at his place. We could literally hear people chomping on popcorn, and see moving heads lol.

Cult. I think that’s the correct word. Death cult, even, given all the bullshit that they’re trying to pull.

Note: archive.today kinda sucks.

Paradox of tolerance type shi

Username checks out.

They probably just stored CSAM on it.

Not surprised. From what I’ve heard from pretty much every German person I’ve talked to, Bavaria is basically their Texas (read UP if you’re Indian, not sure about analogies for other countries).

That’s the main reason I switched to Navidrome and downloaded a ton of flacs. No one’s stopping me from drinking whiskey in the bathtub listening to sad music during my monthly breakdown.

Tempus: An open source and lightweight music client for subsonic.

It’s a fork of Tempo.

We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

Yeah, I got an 80% off deal via mail. This offer was showing up for me, but I couldn’t use it, just like OP. I had to use the specific link I got in the mail.

Her abuser got his punishment and did not need her violence for it to happen.

Can you read? If yes, read the article. She did try other things. Nothing worked. It’s easier to say wise-sounding shit when you make up your own facts, I guess.

I hope you step on a lego and develop a skin disease.

Motherfucker, you know what happens if you walk away from an abuser? They abuse you further. Read the fucking article. Violence wasn’t her first response. It was her last resort. Some need to be dealt with violence, since it’s the only language that they understand.

I see you replying with the same bullshit on over this post. I wonder why you feel so comfortable defending a piece of shit pervert.

I get it, but why punish the bullied person then? Let them off the hook as well. That doesn’t follow any logic.

Aside on the Platner thing, I don’t like the guy because he gives off some weird vibes. But I don’t think he’s a Nazi. He’s been pretty honest about his past, and I think we should learn to let people grow.

Americans seem to be too comfortable defending perverts.

I don’t know how good my English is, but it’s my third language. Bengali and Hindi are my first two. I speak a couple more languages closely related to these (e.g. Urdu, Punjabi, Assamese, Odia, Sanskrit etc. Also been trying to learn French). But I can’t read or write in them.

I learnt English from two sources. My reading and writing abilities mostly come from school. I had some pretty good teachers, who encouraged reading newspapers to learn English. At least in my case, it really helped.

When it comes to speaking and understanding spoken English (with all its irregularities due to accents and whatnot), watching movies and cartoons helped. I used to download and watch all kinds of movies during high school, possibly some that I shouldn’t have watched at that age. My love for movies is basically what made me somewhat competent in the spoken aspect of English. (It also got me into piracy, and ultimately into FOSS, so I guess I owe a lot to the great directors whose movies were hard to find legally lol.)

I’ve edited my comment with some more recommendations. Mokapots are very forgiving, so you’ll be fine with preground coffee. If you get a decent hand grinder, I’ll bet money that you can’t tell the difference between that and any fancy grinder, Mokapots are just that forgiving.

Use it within a week or so, and it’s very close. Hell, I’d say even two weeks is fine; but it may depend on your method of brewing, and sensitivity of palate. You can even freeze part of the grounds to keep them fresh for longer. James Hoffmann did a nice video about it.

If you really want to grind yourself, you can get really nice hand grinders for around $150 from 1Zpresso. If you’re on a tighter budget, Timemore C3 is a good cheaper optiosn, that’s good enough for anything that’s not espresso, or turkish coffee.
