They Used to Be Good, But Now They’ve Turned to Evil: The Synology End Game

Synology has recently implemented some pretty user-hostile policies, which means my long-term love affair with them is going to end in heartbreak.

www.lowendbox.com and it's forum at www.lowendtalk.com are fertile hunting-grounds for cheap hosting. Fair warning though, it's like buying your first domain name; can be addictive!

@glyph

Maybe a private VPN from a well regarded IP address block?

www.lowendtalk.com might be a good forum to ask about options if one were to consider such a route.

Greencloud, my favourite server provider who's not a giant, is making a 10th year anniversary campaign.

If you need a VPS or a place to tinker docker with, these guys' services, pricing and support (both pre and post-order era) are both great. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/189385/greencloud-10th-birthday-sale-1010-plans-giveaways/p1

@Sir_Boops @chad Honestly, considering how much resources is required to support such a large community & the fact that #Mastodon is quite resource heavy, it's actually not too bad. #DigitalOcean is already a pretty good provider in terms of pricing for what you're getting (pricing seems to be in line with other providers like #Vultr, #OVH, #Hetzner and #Linode). If #mstdnca moved to a Tier 1 cloud provider like #MSAzure, #AWS, #GoogleCloud or #OracleCloud, it will likely cost way more than what #DigitalOcean has been charging.

I'm not sure if there are much cheaper alternatives that can provide the same level of service. Sure, you can definitely get a bunch of #VPS on the cheap, endless options can be found at #LowEndBox & #LowEndTalk but those #VPS have no guarantees and often are oversold, which could mean performance issues.

Maybe #S3 storage might be cheaper elsewhere like #Wasabi, #BackBlaze & #CloudFlare's new S3-compatible storage as they don't charge on data egress, but not sure how much the savings would be...

Cost & performance is always that eternal struggle.

@frederic @tchambers @Raspberry_Pi Yeah, I don't disagree.

I love #LowEndBox and had multiple vps' from providers there for years and years. Now, I've got a handful on #Linode (where my single user mastodon instance runs), as well as some stuff on a #kimsufi

after my last #lowendbox disappeared/deadpooled, i've been cooling my heels on setting up a new VPS to start supplanting my long long standing one.

when i went shopping last time- a little over a month ago- there was almost no ipv6 available. i can't believe how much ipv6 there is now! what changed?!

also there are TWO offers for NVMe on the front page! wow! the hardware isn't well specified but again what a sea change!!
