   This project changed my life.

   Since hearing that "somebody named RMS" was going to "change the world by giving away an operating system", I've dreamed of making a lasting, meaningful contribution to the world through my contributions to FOSS. Thomas Markey, and the rest of the team, in creating FOSSHOST, have inspired me to focus my adult life around making that goal tactical.

   Fosshost can provides all of the tools a person needs to make this goal their own.

   I'm proud to support this project as a volunteer and of my employer for recognizing FOSSHOST along with FSF and SPI as important targets for our charitable giving via a recent email blast to employees.

   👍 Pros:    Diversity as a key orginizing principle|Free to use|Approachable via mentorship and flexability

   👎 Cons:    Foss only service provider

   Amazing

   My software repository for Arch and Arch-based Linux distributions is hosted at Fosshost for almost a year. So far, the experience has been superb. The performance of the Virtual Machine is really really good, the community is super friendly, and they are there to help if any issue arises.

   👍 Pros:    High performance|Great customer support|Fast support|Community|Open-source

  Hello! At Swiftpoll -- https://swiftpoll.net (The best polling app on the web! We promise!), we use a combination of Racknerd (https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/) and Contabo (https://contabo.com/en!) For our Gitlab runners, the metrics server, and the test server, we use Racknerd. For the production server, we use Contabo. Racknerd costs about $10-30 per year per virtual machine.

• Is this something i should worry about? Its whitelist, online mode, and the ip/user has been banned. Its been happening for a week now

  It's most likely a minecraft server detection script. I looked it up and found this, which seems to be what they used, as the name of the script and the username of the account trying to join are both "masscan". Also, they are hosted on a VPS provider called Contabo (you can look up the IP and see for yourself) in St. Louis. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Any good black Friday deals?

  The VPS provider that I use, Time4VPS has some pretty nice discounts until the 28th of November: https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=5294 (affiliate link) Another already affordable VPS provider, Contabo, also seems to have nice deals: https://contabo.com/en/ (they expire in an hour at the time of writing) The Namecheap domain registrar that also offers e-mail and other stuff has some ongoing deals:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
