How come? Have you had a bad experience with Oracle?
Oracle is not known for its generosity.
I find that Oracle has tremendous generosity on individual level. That's how people become familiar with their products and services.
It's when you're in production and particularly as a billion+ dollar company that screws get properly tightened!
But from the time I was a student in 90s to occasional dabbler now, I find their free / personal / individual / non-prod offerings to in fact be extremely generous.

#43Seems like a lot of work (and risk) to avoid paying someone ~ $5 or less / month.
The machine has 24 GB of RAM, which is nowhere near that cheap in most places.

Different levels of trust can be placed in different providers for different types of data. Oracle is however at the bottom of the list with regard to trust.
> Different levels of trust Sufficiently different that you wouldn't backup your data at more locations? I don't think there is a single provider I'd trust that much, at least for data I really need to be still exist while I'm alive.
Yes, some paid ones that encrypt the data and have been in business for many years. They're not publicly listed in the stock market, and so they don't have to put up with the self-destructing demands of shareholders

#46I apologize to all of you, but the interest in this blog post exceeded my expectations and unfortunately, due to the number of entries, the blog simply exploded and you can't enter the article...

#47Is anyone still using Docker? I am, simply because I haven't "updated" my stack in a few years. But are there any remaining arguments for using Docker instead of Podman (sudo-less docker alternative)?
If you add yourself to the docker group you don't need to use sudo.
Because you are basically root then

This is a bit alarmist. They are one of the biggest web hosts in the world, whole companies run on their servers and cloud without issues. Accidents happen and you always need to have backups, ideally in another DC.

Wow, pairing a 9 year old processor with 64GB ram and 100Mbps. What are common use-cases that require much ram but not processing power, disk space or a higher bandwidth?
