Well, that's an interesting turn of events I didn't expect to see. This is certainly one way to get me to stop using the Google bang on duckduckgo.

Always has... But it's getting better, I think. :Blobhaj:

I usually go with digital ocean for my projects. I don't have very big demands, usually I go with the $7 basic droplet. I switched over to CloudFlare for my static hosting though.

Please start by dual booting if possible. Linux isn't Windows and if you depend on specific proprietary software, you may find the open source equivalent might not be enough, or there might not even be one at all. But never the less, give it a week or two as your primary OS and give it a serious chance. And please choose a distro that tries to make it easy for new users, like Mint for example. There's no shame in wanting to have things just work.

I'll put it this way... I'd sooner write a simple systemd service file than an init script any day of the week. I'm just not that big on bash scripting.

That I rarely do unit tests and usually do integration test or throw things at my functions through the debugger instead. I know I should...

At some point if it becomes standard, probably. But I'd absolutely want a nicer alias than having to type that, or I'd start using su instead. Well, until they decide to replace that too with susr or something.

Mine was a shiny Rapidash in pokemon Gold outside mount silver. I managed to catch it, then I didn't see another non-scripted random shiny again until Pokemon Ultra Moon. One heck of a dry spell.

16 threads, 32gb of memory. I suppose I'm happy with it. It runs a little warm under pressure and I still need to stress it out with building the kernel or chromium.

@nixCraft I've always had that fear when dealing with cloud providers that there generally aren't hard-caps on resource use. I understand scalability is more important for high traffic sites, but for a small static site or service, keeping costs low is likely the more important part.

@nixCraft A cup of earl grey to start the day. Otherwise, probably water unless the problem warrants a second cup.
