Currently paying Voyager ~$15/mo for my VM - 1vCPU, 2GB RAM, 25 GB disk - they don't have traffic limits but it's pretty low (it's my Tailscale Proxy for CGNAT'd devices and Pangolin).

What other NZ based options are there in the same ballpark?

I know ZappieHost (looks reasonable), but other suggestions appreciated.

Voyagers network does some weird shit with my traffic (yeeting SSH connections and the like).

One of the more fascinating things I’ve read recently!

“The health you enjoy or don’t enjoy today is a function of your environment in the past,” says Ray Dorsey, a physician and professor of neurology at the University of Rochester. Your “environment” could be the refinery a town over, the lead in the paint of your mother’s home, the plastic sheath of the Hot Pocket you microwaved in 1996. It is air pollution and PFAS and pesticides and so much more.

After a century of putting genetics on a pedestal, the geneticists have some surprising news for us: The vast majority of chronic disease isn’t caused by our genes. “The Human Genome Project was a $3 billion investment, and what did we find out?” says Thomas Hartung, a toxicologist at Johns Hopkins. “Five percent of all disease is purely genetic. Less than 40 percent of diseases even have a genetic component.”
