Such is life. The hardest part, and something I’m still actively unlearning, is how we were taught to eat in boarding school. You had under three minutes to finish your meal. If you didn’t, you threw it away. It was crappy barely cooked food. It was a terrible way to live. That was what my 4 years of high school taught me.
Years later, I was having lunch with my niece and nephews when one of them commented, “Look, Uncle eats like those guys in prison.” It stung, because it was true. And honestly, the time limit was only part of it. The worse lesson was that if you didn’t eat fast enough, bullies would finish first and grab your plate. So you learned to eat quickly while keeping your head up, always watching your back.
I grew up in a dictatorship. Because of shortage of nice things, we became ABC eaters. Best for last. My ex pointed it out one day. So if we got frenchfries and a sausage, french fries first, sausage last and the sausage was considered the best so it was always last. Over 4 decades later, its french fries, salad, then the burger.
I sell managed services and this is one of the things I offer. Its a fire and forget sort of system. However, your experience with managing the back end stuff, updates etc will really matter cause if it goes sideways, you have to know how to debug. That is pretty much what I do.
For many years, yes, but, to see that person reach out, apologize, amends and even support me in difficulty changed that perspective. Forgiveness played a major role in healing.
Same here. Makes me consider just doing my own thing instead and rolling my own extra backup system. Something to consider.
That aside, I'm surprised at how there is a VPS limitation at both Netcup and OVH. Netcup is selling ARM as the closest alternative. OVH is selling Canada as the closest option. I found it weird.
Had considered Hetzner, not going down that route. If only Scaleway had services in the US. Well, their snapshots are marked as copy on write, so my assumption is that for every write, there is replication somewhere.
I hear you. I had three choices and as I read what people wrote, i keep getting more.
