Just pocketed a crisp $32 on betting correctly that the US GDP shrank in the first quarter [not April as I previously said] I'm rich

Update on Hostslick: my card is already filing a chargeback to them so I think that means they're siding with me
Thanks for something for once, Visa.

@RustyCrab

@phnt @Jain iirc they wanted me to give them a PayPal account which sure they could probably get my real info out of that if they really wanted to but haven't asked for anything else since

@Jain their cheapest plan is still within the budget and I already use a dedicated from them, I might just use them again.

Thanks for the suggestion

@RustyCrab @nyanide open recursive DNS resolvers are trivial abuse vectors, the email the BSI sends just says to make sure you have countermeasures for abuse
They're annoying but they don't mean anything

@Jain how are their shared vCPUs performance wise? Prices look good though thank you

@nyanide I tried them 2 years ago, they wanted me to call them, send them my ID and show them a proof of my address
Maybe they changed, thank you for the suggestion

@nyanide I'm an active Hetzner customer so yeah, I get a complaint about having an open DNS resolver on my server about twice a week from the German police and Hetzner just forwards it to me saying I don't actually have to do anything

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
