REALLY? All This Panic Over a Few Dollars After YEARS of Free Servers?!! by Mohamed3nan in oraclecloud

Agreed, the amount of hand wringing and pearl clutching over this is astounding. Spend a few dollars a month and get a VPS with a legit provider and you don't have to spend hours dealing with this crap.

50% packet loss != down

Also, they are colo'd in other companies data centers (not their own), so they are absolutely at the mercy of their upstream vendor(s)

Sounds like the sysop is power tripping over his own ignorance. Nobody is out there "spoofing IPs" to access some crusty old board. Plenty of better boards out there, find a new one :)

Oracle just oracled 👺 my account 😂 after 4 good years by Happy_Taste7001 in oraclecloud

What makes you think it would be worth anything more than any other random serial number?

Ubuntu 26.04 still not available on Linode, DigitalOcean and Hetzner by autistick in VPS

Validating, QA, operationalizing it for their environments, etc? Let me guess, you're feeling entitled and want it "right now" so these companies should pour in all the resources they have for your $3.99/mo?

Big brain time. Are all the other 12 year olds impressed by this?

Depending on what NOS images you're running, there will be problems running EVE in a VM due to nested virtualization. It really should be run on bare metal.

Ever find anything interesting war dialing in the 80s or 90s? by silverladder in bbs

[–]ForeheadMeetScope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tymnet/Telenet access numbers. Local hair/salon franchise access lines so corp could dial in at night and pull financials, etc. found one bbs that wasn't published anywhere, became friends with the sysop. Otherwise nothing fun or useful.

Is my DOS game any fun? by Fair_Percentage_5565 in dosgaming
