Yep. I got over 250TB/month traffic (150TB+ outbound) on Hetzner, and I don't pay anything additional for that, just ~800$ month for 11 servers. At 7c/GB that would be over 10500$ …

TBH I don't need "fine grained rules for each app". There is only one rule I care about for most apps - block all notifications.

I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.

Not really, I have a Discord account for at least 5 years, I'm a member of several Discord communities and none of them are related to gaming. For me it's kind of a replacement for…

Does DO even offer dedicated servers? I have used their vps in the past. It was ok, no issues, but more expensive than hetzners vps or dedicated for large traffic/cpu needs.
