Should be worth mentioning that a VPS is a shared instance in terms of CPU use. Hosting heavy things on it will only slow you down.

Wireguard tunnels and the like though should be good!

I used gitlab for a while, but it was a bit resource-heavy for my two whole projects. So just a heads up I suppose.

It kind of also depends on the OS. And before the comments start; As with anything, situation & a bit of luck go a long way.

But Linux based machines can be left enabled for months, some times even years. Windows I Honestly wouldn't trust beyond a few months and even that would seem too much for my own taste.

I reboot my systems monthly most of the time, usually paired with updates. But my main host is Windows serv, which gets daily reboots (power savings, I don't need it on when I sleep), and the VMs on that are frozen & unfrozen so they are on for about a month or more until I do the above.

I keep everything in my brain.

Has its perks.. no need to write things down.

But it's easy to momentarily forget the little things that come with, say, reinstalling everything.
