Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota here and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
I guess thereās still DigitalOcean and Linode, the Azure and AWS of Some Guy LLC, respectively.

Iāve been using DigitalOcean for years as a personal VPS box, and Iāve had no complaints. Not sure how well theyād scale (in terms of cost) for a site like this.
this is one part of the problem, yeah - pretty much all the VPS offerings are extremely painful cost-wise if you need chonky hosts
rootservers (or things off the serverbidding market) are way better bang for buck (i.e. my all-the-things gremlin box is dual-4TB 64GB i7-something, at ~38eur/mo)
I really, really hope they sort this shit out
Linode now brought to you by Akamai, the CDN that also exists, you know (itās not just CloudFlareont!)
Off the cuff I think (and would have to doublecheck) Akamai is probably bigger by a fair deal, theyāre just not nearly as loud
