Huh...

LOL Umm... I was only pushing buttons? (I might have burned through like 20, or more, instances today.)

I'm gonna ignore 'em. Wish me luck!

It's my money, I'll spend it any damned way I want to!

And now SSH isn't working on my new instance.

Hmm... Maybe I should ignore them even harder!

I pay them good money to let me do this. Even their JavaScript SSH thing isn't letting me login. So, it might be a routing table, or they're sick of my shit. I don't do anything bad - I just build 'em and tear 'em down when they break. Fuck backups! I do what I want, bitches!

This one's like 16 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM. I ain't even gonna do anything special with it. They can kiss my ass. I won't even get around to hosting a site on it.

ssh: connect to host [redacted] port 22: Connection timed out

Yes! Without being the slightest bit offensive, methinks I've finally been kicked off a VPS provider. My other two are down as well.

Could be routing. I left one up to get hacked, just to see what'd happen. Whoa boy, that's an impressive bill.

What were you hosting? Email server for vegetable catalogs?

That's just it!

Nothing...

At most, most VPSes (that's now a word) last me a few days. I have a couple that last longer, but not with this company.

With this company, I just build 'em and smash 'em. I make new and interesting servers, learn about the hell I put my web hosting companies (multiple) though, poke buttons, and generally smash stuff.

Then, when it breaks - and it does, I giggle gleefully and burn it to the ground - and make a new one.

I ain't even got a good reason, except to say I enjoy it.

They didn't give me the boot, but said they allocate space on three drives. I was making massive VPSes and then just deleting them when I got bored. This takes a while to replicate and I was filling drives pretty rapidly. (I'd smoked a lot of pot that day.)

I guess it's a hobby. I dunno... I learn stuff. I have fun. It costs a few bucks, but it's amusing as hell.

I don't actually have any serious projects hosted there. I do have a VPN spun up there and a GIT repository that I host for a buddy and, sort of, myself. (I've got an obscene amount of hosting available.)

In a short while, I'll be hosting another goat with a music project. I pretty much suck at being retired.
