Amazon trying to cover their ass?

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

Whats the alternative? (For real, i have a ec2 instance there, and I guess I could use azure or google cloud but they are shitty companies too)

If you're a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud's free vps tier is the most generous I've seen of any provider. I suspect it's because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.

Is the cpu good? I am running a minecraft server. And the advertised 24gb, is that RAM or storage?

They give you two types of machines for free. One is x86 (AMD) based with a 2ghz cpu and 1gb ram. The beefier machine (the one with 24gb ram) is ARM based. Besides hardware, the main benefit for me over google is the traffic limit, 10tb per month instead of 1gb per day.

Local vps hosting companies in your country

If you miss the simplicity of a dashboard vs terminal I suggest https://coolify.io/

There are options, the question eventually comes down to if you want to support Jeff’s billionaire lifestyle

Its a lot more expensive with local companies. (8x as much) Because I use a couple hours a week, with high processing power, and most (all that I could find) of them you pay for the entire month at a time.

Personally seen the opposite in terms of pricing. But don’t forget the added value of support; local small businesses usually offer, they often go above and beyond to help you.
