Lessons learned so far from this round of instance shenanigans...
The storage on Oracle Cloud Free Tier (on x64 instances) is pretty terrible.
Hetzner has really great inbound network speed, but horrid outbound. I tested both in Helsinki and Hillsboro. When I sent files to my instances, it would be mega fast. When I tried to download files from my instances it would be 200-300Kbps. I have symmetric 1Gbps fiber, downloading a Debian ISO from debian.org ran at megabytes per second speeds.
Digital Ocean is expensive compared to the above two, but it's fast, real fast.
The boss has been pestering me to attend a leadership conference so I, completely jokingly, said, "A true leader would never sit in an audience being told what to do" and now half this office is in existential crisis
My respect for #Lowkey (aka Kareem Dennis) for the highly informed acuteness of his geopolitical insights - especially in relation to #Israel and #Zionism - grows deeper every time I watch/ hear him speak!
Here he is talking, at some length in conversation on Al Hiwar TV English via YouTube, about “The Tangled Web of #Zionist Interests”! His detailed knowledge on this topic is astonishing and what he reveals is, imo, deeply worrying!
