r/Piracy probably needs a rethink
  • I don't remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.

    I'm absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren't planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.

    I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.

    Anyway, I don't really care what happens to r/piracy. There's a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I'm sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.

  • Oracle Free Tier VPS Self Hosting Ideas
  • Mine is about a year old as well. I'm also curious to know what triggers these bans. I also noticed people bringing up Minecraft servers on r/oraclecloud. I personally have a Valheim server running for months but I haven't had any issues.

  • Domain registrar
  • I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They're a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

  • What's your "base" stack of choice?
  • Debian + nginx + docker (compose).

    That's usually enough for me. I have all my docker compose files in their respective containers in the home directory like ~/red-discordbot/docker-compose.yml.

    The only headache I've dealt with are permissions because I have to run docker as root and it makes a lot of messy permissions in the home directories. I've been trying rootless docker earlier and it's been great so far.

    edit: I also use rclone for backups.

  • Good servers for self-hosting
  • Just wanted to add that you also get two free AMD64 servers (1C/1GB). Been using mine for a year now but I do agree - don't use it for anything personal or critical. Make backups!
