What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Wanted a cool bootscreen on my Nixos machine - commented out the bootloader to troubleshoot, why my meme-boot-picture wouldn't show - after rebooting, it loaded straight into the BIOS and finally realized what I had done... Was able to fix it thankfully

[Recommendation] VPS for personal game-servers/service hosting in c/selfhost@lemmy.ml

They bill hourly, but what does that exactly entail? Can I risk ending up with a huge bill at the end of the month, or would I be contained to what I pay for/signed up for?

[Recommendation] VPS for personal game-servers/service hosting (feddit.dk)
 

Hey all

What VPS providers (EU) would you guys recommend, or use, for casually hosting some game servers, and maybe a matrix instance?

I'm thinking of using docker to manage a valheim server and a minecraft, running 24/7, and over servers/services that could be spun up, when we want to use them.

Currently I am looking at Hetzner with their CAX21 package (8 gb ram, 4 vCPU), but am a little uncertain about billing. Is it correctly understood that, you can't accidentally overuse ressources, and are kept under the monthly price cap? I have used Linode before, but the Hetzner deal caught my eye.

I look forward to hearing about your guys recommendations and advice

Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Looked into selling my old gaming laptop just recently, and it just doesn't seem like its worth selling them, if they are any older than 5 years, and not top spec. Making a server/node/test machine, might be the best option. Still not comfortable with the laptop battery as ups thing.
