Yeah that looks about right. I went with their smallest Intel VPS because they had a big 12 month discount on those, so my $/mo is actually less than a toonie right now lol (sadly I don't think the discount is available anymore). Still it's a good deal, and as far as "the cloud" goes, I can see myself sticking with these guys for my humble needs.
I use them as a drop-in replacement for a Digitalocean (no complaints, but it's American, so), and while the UX is certainly a lot rougher with OVH I've been happy with them as far as cloud providers can go.
Not the person you asked, but I've had some luck with ovh. The web interface is a little jank, but it's super cheap for tiny a vps. Once you get ssh access it's like every other cloud provider. Not sure how their offerings for managed services is, since I run everything on vps (very small scale).
Next up I'd really like to try self-hosting, and cut out the cloud entirely.
Thoughts in a contiguous sequence??!!? What utter bloat! Why even have a past or future when a pure consciousness need only experience the horizon of an infinite present.
But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.
They might mean that, but they didn't say it. I don't think they did mean it. I think they just don't want people to forget the "problematic" aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.
It's like how my partner will interject--he's canadian!--if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn't want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.
Maybe they did mean that, though and I'm missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.
Randomly reminds me of some of the freakier social scifi to come out of Asimov's typewriter. I remember one Robot story where the audience insert protagonist goes to an outer world colony where the incest taboo is not only missing, but it's considered a faux pas to avoid sex with your family. One of the characters is in deep consternation because he doesn't want to have sex with his daughter. Anyway, the protagonist and audience are naturally disgusted, but clearly it stuck in my head.
Academically... I don't know. Because of my upbringing, I just can't see it is as anything other than a severe moral crime. But I guess I could imagine a very very different world from our own where it wouldn't be the weirdest fucking thing imaginable to even talk about it.
But that's me bending over backwards to get inside the head of someone I think I like, like our buddy Stallman here.
I LOVE it!!
