[14:47] <jrwren> got 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: 
[16:28] <cmaloney> what's thr ballpatk?
[16:35] <jrwren> $3.50/mo
[16:36] <jrwren> tis 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 address
[17:07] <dzho> oof yeah
[17:07] <dzho> I haven't looked to see what an address costs these days with my VPS providers
[17:07] <dzho> last I looked it was $1/month but it's been a while so who knows now
[17:12] <dzho> aha
[17:13] <dzho> the cheapest VPSen I have now started as $2.50/month with IPv6 only, and the IPv4 was a $1/mo add on.
[17:13] <dzho> so 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 included
[17:14] <dzho> so two of those cost me $7/mo now but would take $12/mo to replace 
[17:15] <dzho> I'm glad we had this talk :-)
[17:21] <jrwren> where is that? $3.50 ain't bad.
[17:24] <jrwren> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/ed25519-ssh-keys what a joke.
[17:26] <dzho> jrwren: nowhere, now
[17:26] <dzho> jrwren: vultr used to offer it
[17:26] <dzho> now the ones I have are grandfathered in, I guess
[17:27] <dzho> I think it was a promotional thing they ran for a time, maybe because they were a little overprovisioned in some DCs?
[17:28] <dzho> or maybe it was a wider promotion but they only had so many per DC and when those were gone, that was the end
[17:28] <dzho> I remember having to chose amongst a limited set of DCs
[17:31] <dzho> I do need to keep some room in my brain open for this these days, what with the akamai takeover of linode dribbling out
[17:31] <dzho> maybe it will continue to be fine, but that's no way to bet for the long term
[17:33] <dzho> they have definitely reversed course in terms of value
[17:33] <dzho> the $5/mo nanode remains, but the next level has gone from $10/mo to $12/mo
[17:33] <dzho> which I say is a "reverse" because occasionally they used to bump up the specs across their product line, instead of bumping up the prices.
[19:28] <jrwren> https://www.vultr.com/pricing/#cloud-compute/ says that they still do. I'll have to sign up.
[20:02] <jrwren> ah, nevermind. I just moved all of the functionality that I need to our rpi5 at endoffice. Now I'm saving $7.50/mo. YAY!
