jrwrengot my first bill with AWS charging for IPv4 address. It is as much as running the t4g.nano instance. Too rich for my cheap ass. :slightly_smiling_face: 14:47
cmaloneywhat's thr ballpatk?16:28
jrwren$3.50/mo16:35
jrwrentis a shame, because I love doing things with those tiny t4g.nano instances, but I don't have much use for one without an ipv4 address16:36
dzhooof yeah17:07
dzhoI haven't looked to see what an address costs these days with my VPS providers17:07
dzholast I looked it was $1/month but it's been a while so who knows now17:07
dzhoaha17:12
dzhothe cheapest VPSen I have now started as $2.50/month with IPv6 only, and the IPv4 was a $1/mo add on.17:13
dzhoso I still have them and now have to take care not to let them lapse because the cheapest option they currently offer is $6/mo with IPv4 included17:13
dzhoso two of those cost me $7/mo now but would take $12/mo to replace 17:14
dzhoI'm glad we had this talk :-)17:15
jrwrenwhere is that? $3.50 ain't bad.17:21
jrwrenhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/ed25519-ssh-keys what a joke.17:24
dzhojrwren: nowhere, now17:26
dzhojrwren: vultr used to offer it17:26
dzhonow the ones I have are grandfathered in, I guess17:26
dzhoI think it was a promotional thing they ran for a time, maybe because they were a little overprovisioned in some DCs?17:27
dzhoor maybe it was a wider promotion but they only had so many per DC and when those were gone, that was the end17:28
dzhoI remember having to chose amongst a limited set of DCs17:28
dzhoI do need to keep some room in my brain open for this these days, what with the akamai takeover of linode dribbling out17:31
dzhomaybe it will continue to be fine, but that's no way to bet for the long term17:31
dzhothey have definitely reversed course in terms of value17:33
dzhothe $5/mo nanode remains, but the next level has gone from $10/mo to $12/mo17:33
dzhowhich I say is a "reverse" because occasionally they used to bump up the specs across their product line, instead of bumping up the prices.17:33
jrwrenhttps://www.vultr.com/pricing/#cloud-compute/ says that they still do. I'll have to sign up.19:28
jrwrenah, nevermind. I just moved all of the functionality that I need to our rpi5 at endoffice. Now I'm saving $7.50/mo. YAY!20:02
