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.

These are the only two free ones that I can recommend as someone who has been doing (mostly amateur) editing for years.

Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I’ve heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.

If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).

Mass Effect series. Especially ME3 with the DLC’s. I think it was the Citadel DLC that I enjoyed the most. The game was really emotional at times.

I used to self-host Jellyfin but gave up because most of my files are H265 so other devices (like smartphones and televisions) struggle without transcoding.

I also host game servers for my friends when we’re in the mood to play games like ARK, Valheim, or Minecraft.

Sorry if the thread has gotten messy but I feel you. I’ve deleted my Facebook account before I entered university but when I started, I had to create a new one because a lot of the online communication (announcements, group activities, etc.) happen there despite having better alternatives.

We are actually forced to use Facebook. Not in a way where there’s a gun pointed at our head but rather societal norms forces us to. By deviating, people like us are called crazy or a nuisance. I don’t mind being called crazy but I do want to get work done.

I’ve been watching videogamedunkey since I was a highschool freshman. I love his humour, style, and his insights in games and other media.

Dying? Twitter is very well “alive” despite everything that has happened. I don’t know what will happen to Reddit and Twitch but I doubt these platforms will “die”. They aren’t dying really. Just becoming worse over time. People will continue using these platforms up to a certain degree.
