If anyone has any good recommendations for a cheap-ish (less than €
$10/mo for 2 cores and 2-4 GB RAM) provider that has servers in the EU please share thank you

@zero @phnt I tried once in 2022 or 2023 and they immediately wanted me to give them KYC info

@phnt @zero they were fine for 2 years, some small bits of downtime usually no longer than a few hours with plausible explanations always given, until now when they just decided to ignore me completely

@zero what a shit load of fuck what were they thinking, terminating service over $1.50?

The VPS provider Hostslick decided that after 3 days of me attempting to reach out for support after them accidentally not crediting me the correct amount for their service decided to ignore every single support email and ticket I made and terminated my server with them. I have filed a chargeback with my provider and gave them all the receipts I have.
Apart from the Bluesky PDS disbursement.center, everything else I lost was either backed up or not worth needing to be recovered.

I was a Hostslick customer since 2023. I heavily discourage anyone from using their services.

Still nothing, they're absolutely trying to scam me you cannot be this incompetent to ignore several tickets and emails
Maybe Visa can rape them on my behalf for trying to defraud me

Still nothing

Either way RIP , gone too soon because your provider is either incompetent or trying to scam me out of $6.50USD

Got woken up to discover these motherfuckers disabled my service. Over one dollar. 24 hours after it was due, 18 after I submitted a ticket and 6 days after I already paid them.

I’m either getting scammed or this provider is retarded

@gray @zero Wifi's mortal nemesis: the apartment complex

@gray @zero who needs WiFi 5 or 6 anyway not like it makes WiFi usable with anything larger than a shoebox apartment in Midtown Manhattan that somehow costs $3,000 a month

Fun fact of the day, the American Federal Railroad Administration is so understaffed and stretched thin if barely has an idea what is being transferred on the US's massive rail network. It could be people it could be a hazardous chemical, they only know when the railroad companies (that exist as little more than dividend checks for shareholders) tell them.
The next time your insane libertarian uncle tells you the government is spying on you know that they barely know what is on the rails that go through major population centres every day.

At least ULEZ popular among people who actually live in London just like congestion pricing is in NYC

Installed OpenWRT on my access points, it just works and it actually works better than the stock firmware, including supporting WPA2/3 and not having an annoying bug dropping connections sometimes.

The power of good FLOSS like OpenWRT is that it can be a viable alternative to whatever it's replacing which makes people actually want to use it

Seems like one of my VPS providers charged me the amount they requested but gave me credit off by a dollar and now they're trying to charge me an extra $5 for their mistake
I made a ticket almost a day ago but haven't heard back yet

Cool

Merry Christmas, there's an aeroplane up in the sky ​

@sneeden @waifu No, he's not, you are correct. But, the FSF is almost completely irrelevant and no matter what GNU cultists think worshipping Stallman won't break up Google or Microsoft, the only thing that can is the US Department of Justice.
Drew is just an idealist idiot like most people in the FLOSS world, he's basically completely harmless and his crashing out over stuff no one cares about can safely be ignored to let him rule over his petty fiefdom

My mirrored posts are popping off on Bluesky (one got one like once)

@gray I'm not sorry. Fedilab crashes about a third of the time I load my notifications
