The machine has 24 GB of RAM, which is nowhere near that cheap in most places.

#52Is 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)?
Every 3rd party application that uses containers provide only instructions/support for docker.

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?
That is their "budget" ("eco") line so the target is people on a budget or hobbyists so that's why you sometimes get odd or old hardware.

Sure, was just a bit surprised by the amount of ram, but I'm guessing they just had old ram from older high-end servers and put it to use.
Seems it was also just sold out, maybe because of your comment.

Both docker and podman support rootless containers. Podman is in no way "better" or "more modern" as you suggest, mostly everyone still uses docker.

> 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
Interesting, you're certainly more brave than me :) One of the places I used for backups been around for 2 decades, I still wouldn't trust them enough to store my only copy of something.

#60Note that Oracle free instances may be deleted at any time for no reason.
From what I've seen, there's actually two different levels of free tier. There's the one where you make an account and don't give them your payment info, and are on a free trial (availability of Ampere servers is severely limited in this, and they deactivate your account if you don't sign in often enough or use the servers you create), and the other where you give them payment information and set up a real account and get credits towards 200GB storage and the free tier compute.
My guess is that people who complain about their stuff being deleted are on the former.
