m0nkey_Any of you lot using IRCCloud? How's it been with Libera? 19:03
daftykinsnot me, some pals have checked out 'thelounge' and seem to like it19:12
popeym0nkey_ I was using IRCCloud a couple of years ago, but switched to a self-hosted thelounge21:02
arif-alithelounge looks good, will have to give it a go, been using znc for a few years myself21:58
m0nkey_i should get me a vps again22:03
daftykinsforever free Oracle cloud tier!22:04
arif-alior just host it yourself using a rpi4 :)22:06
* zxm-pi is still using original 512mb rasp pi b and irrsi22:12
m0nkey_ewh.. oracle?22:13
daftykinspeople say that, but free is free - and their VPSs are responsive, even on the super lowly free tier22:13
daftykins1GB RAM, 2 x AMD EPYC 7551, 50GB disk22:15
m0nkey_link me22:15
daftykinswww.oraclecloud.com probably22:16
daftykinsyou can even have 2 of them on the perpetually free tier - though they have to be in the same location data centre you pick to start22:17
m0nkey_now, the question is, do i have to give them my CC?22:20
daftykinsyep22:21
daftykinsbut so long as you don't spin up something expensive it won't get charged :D22:21
m0nkey_it's an option22:21
daftykinsa pal says it is miles better than the Google Compute ones he tried22:28
arif-aliit looks like a good idea22:29
* arif-ali thinks if I can get rid of my hetzner vps22:30
daftykinsthere was a tiny little learning curve regarding giving your VM a public IP and then there are both account level and host level firewalls, easily resolved though22:30
arif-alilets just hope they don't try to take monies when you start relying on it :)22:34
daftykinsmeeeeh, so far i am hosting a unifi controller which all my ubiquiti WiFi installs phone home to for provisioning, plus this irssi22:36
daftykinsrule is to always be portable :D22:36
