I have moved each of my three #Mastodon instances over to #Backblaze B2 object storage and am syncing to #Vultr and #DigitalOcean as well.

Well, I'm on a digital ocean droplet now. I liked having my own hardware but my home connection and power just aren't reliable enough for my mastodon account to live there. I use my mastodon as my primary social media and kinda rely on it for keeping up with the world. But I also want to own it. So I'll find less mission critical uses for my home server.

Good Bye my cherished Server7 VM at #DigitalOcean, you've served me well for 9 years!
(Ubuntu 14 originally, it had been updated regularly to the latest LTS).

I'm not too thrilled that API keys cannot be restricted to certain buckets or Spaces in #DigitalOcean. If that information is leaked they have access to anything those keys can access. Not good.

Which Ocarina of Time boss is most like a mastodon?

ok so here are tutorials from #digitalocean sorted easiest (least things to learn) to hardest (most things to learn). Keep in mind that the more things you learn, well... the more things you learn.

They have really good step-by-step tutorials

Currently, #digitalocean (our cloud service provider) is having a bad day and suffering from intermittent outages. There's not much we can do, I'm afraid. We're monitoring and will evaluate other options for #mcrwtf if it goes on for a long time.

And #Digitalocean is back down again.

Hey all! Sorry about the recent outage. Looks like the LON1 region on #digitalocean, where we are hosted, disappeared for a bit.

We're back now - and this outage was very much outside of my control - but I might have a look over our backup plans and see if they're good enough.

Looks like there's an #outage for #DigitalOcean right now #HugOps

Has #Digitalocean #Lon1 shit itself?

Getting a 403 when trying to access the #DigitalOcean web console... but only on #Firefox. #sigh

Now that #Heroku has killed its free tier, anyone have any suggestions for where to #host small fun projects for *actually cheap*? I know there's an argument that #AWS, #DigitalOcean, etc are "cheap" per-month but it adds up over a year for goofy and inconsequential stuff. Are there any options for this anymore? Esp stuff that isn't static HTML but has a server component?

On this note, do any of my followers work for a large cloud-y (but with presence in the UK) company? Thinking places like #DigitalOcean etc..

If so, do you think they'd maybe consider mirroring some #Wikimedia project XML dumps?

Tal vez con un VPS en #DigitalOcean para aprender a administrar todo lo que conlleva

I can't say why publicly but if you are considering hosting your workloads on #DigitalOcean and care at all about #LGBTQ+ rights, you might want to consider a different hosting provider.

@lea #DigitalOcean has some net-zero hosting options and I am very satisfied with their pricing and service.

(I am not affiliated with them and I’m not using affiliate links or anything like that, just a happy customer)

#DigitalOcean has one of the best support experiences I encounter with cloud services. They really nailed that part of their offering.

I had an issue deploying one of my apps, it was due to my code issue that deployment wouldn't go live properly, while at the same time rollback image was deleted (oops). So the app stayed live actually, new deployment didn't go out, but then their system would get stuck trying to rollback.

I asked them to "unstuck it" and they were on it fast. Appreciate it.

It depends on what you're willing to pay, and how much work you're willing to do. If you don't mind paying a bit of money ($10-20 a month) then you can get a service like #DigitalOcean or #Linode and use a one-click installer for something like #Grav #Ghost or #Hugo

If you want to pay as little as possible, you can find a cheaper VPS (or even self-host) and install any of the above, but it's definitely more work and will require some technical trial-and-error.
