@jleedev Oh, I see, this undecorated "CSV" text is actually a link. Don't care for that one bit.

@FritzAdalis Yeah, I had no problem requesting or downloading or anything. Just the generated archive is broken.

I know I can migrate followers across instances, but I'm not sure if I retain access to the old account to try downloading the archive again or not.

Who do I hassle about mastodon.social issues? I set up an archive download in preparation to move my account, but the archive is horked. It has entries for all the media uploads, but the actual files are zero bytes.

Also doesn't seem to have any follower/block info, but I don't know if that's normal or not.

You can only request an archive once a week, so uh. yeah.

@molly0xfff The weirdest I've seen is "select all images containing a horse made of clouds."

@untitaker You get less disk space with Hetzner than DO. I have 50gb on my DO machine currently, and need more.

I think DO dropped their storage tiers and I'm on an older one that's a better value than the current price list.

Maybe I'll just go back to Time4VPS? They're having a Black Friday sale and are wicked cheap right now.

I like wicked cheap.

Can get a full year's worth of time on a quad-core 16gb RAM 160gb disk VPS for ~$73.

But that's a teaser rate and it jumps to ~$250/yr after that year.

@untitaker Neither compare favoriably to DO pricing.

@sean Their cheapest plan is 3x what I'm paying DO. :(

I'm looking for a new VPS host, anyone have suggestions? Currently with DigitalOcean, but would like more value for the money.

Previously used Time4VPS, they're fine, but take like a year to support new versions of Linux distros, which I didn't like.
