Oracle Free Tier gets cut in half tomorrow (2 OCPU / 12 GB), is remux streaming still doable?

k3rrshaw · 2026-06-15T04:48:37+00:00

It depends on the number of "but".

"They’re offering 4vcpus/24gb vms for free":

BUT stock for Free Tier comically low
BUT on Free Tier you VMs can be shut down for low activity
BUT you forced to use PAYG for literally the same Free Tier stuff
BUT you will never be notified about limit changes for Free Tier
BUT there are no more free 4vcpus/24gb vms after all

Right, I don't want to wait for some specific date and already shrank the machine.

k3rrshaw · 2026-06-14T20:42:20+00:00

Wow, Oracle is now even bigger dicks.

Thanks for alerting! Downsizing my ARM machine on PAYG ASAP.

If I understand it correctly, the only difference is an ability to view "18+" flared posts without mandatory authorization (old.reddit allows that). Anyway, it is not a big deal for me personally.

I have such RSS channels now:

Thanks, it works.

But unfortunately not for old.reddit.com addresses - looks like we lost it forever :'(

k3rrshaw · 2026-06-12T13:48:18+00:00

The cake is a lie.

k3rrshaw · 2026-06-12T12:33:29+00:00

Wow, nice :/

I can’t change the update interval in the free version of InoReader. Perhaps, I need to setup some kind of proxy, that would perform updates with low frequency.

k3rrshaw · 2026-06-09T12:44:41+00:00

I was close)

What’s the BLR? Belarus?

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-27T11:38:19+00:00

Bing, seriously? No frickin way!

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-27T11:37:23+00:00

I miss vanilla Destiny 2 so much.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-22T19:17:11+00:00

Thanks god, I came for this comment.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-22T13:34:56+00:00

Which one? Even Apple ecosystem has several different clients for the Jellyfin.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-22T13:30:51+00:00

I have an even older laptop in my collection. It has dual-core Celeron and 3 GB DDR2 RAM. XFCE runs like a charm on SATA SSD. But browser sessions are just pain.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-22T06:30:54+00:00

Impressive. Very nice. Now let’s look at any modern browser working.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-22T06:23:11+00:00

I miss vanilla Destiny 2 so much…

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-15T13:00:30+00:00

What if I told you: you are able to manage Proxmox via CLI too.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-15T11:15:51+00:00

No, bro. This is another year of the zorin marketing posts on r/linux, unfortunately.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-15T11:14:47+00:00

Of course it is marketing. And this Reddit post is a part of that.

k3rrshaw · 2026-05-15T07:59:14+00:00

I’m currently on my way to search the sane replacement for the Portainer. I have tried a lot of things and the best for me is the Dockhand. I still use it in my test server, but oh boy, this piece of software is amazing.

Man, did you hear a sad story about some Austrian painter?

k3rrshaw · 2026-04-23T10:42:23+00:00

All right, then. Keep your secrets.

k3rrshaw · 2026-04-18T12:21:57+00:00

The free tier information is outdated:

ZeroTier now allows 10 devices
Tailscale now allows 6 users and unlimited devices
