This is the part that got me. I assumed "success fee" meant I only pay if it sells. Nope, they mean two separate fees. Lear...

Review: 6 months with Contabo — boring in the best way · Reviews

2GB plan with sqlite
SQLite on Nextcloud with 3 users will work until it doesn't. Concurrent uploads during photo sync = database locked errors. Been there.

My fix: 512MB swap on zstd-compressed zram. Costs maybe 3% CPU, saves you from OOM during spikes. Contabo's NVMe is fa...

I've seen this before you know. Maybe check the page headers. Maybe look for x-cache-status. Yo...

Looking for honest host that doesn't fake reviews · General Discussion

Maybe looking for honest host that doesnt fake reviews you know. Tired of trustpilot full of same day accounts you know. Maybe someone can prove real feedback somehow. Maybe not Contabo you know their "satisfied customer" posts all use same browser fingerprint maybe.

Why you care power draw for keyboard?

You know. Some of us run Pis off solar. You know. Every watt is a watt. You know. My keyboard is plugged into the same battery bank as the router. You know. 73W would be the whole budget. You know.
