Lol I stopped using one-clicks in 2022 after some script on my GreenCloudVPS box started mining monero and I didnt notice for 3 months because the cpu was so bad anyway Now I just spin up debian minimal and do everything manual. Takes longer but at least you know whats on your box. I had a box with...

Yes. That is egress. Every message your bot sends leaves Vultr's network to reach Discord's API. If you are on a "free" tier with a 10GB cap, you will hit it faster than you think. Discord webhooks are chatty.

I have 47 days of data from my cron job. Their looking glass was unreachable 12 times for 10-minute intervals. That is roughly 0.35% unavailability at the edge, not the VM itself.

Not enough data. Not the right metric. Best I have.

I tried this twice. First time: account terminated after 89 days for "suspicious activity" with zero appeal path. Second time: quota request denied with no explanation. Oracle's free tier is a lottery, not infrastructure.

Ashburn per the first post, no? RackNerd lists Ashburn as a location — https://www.racknerd.com. Duke Energy territory, makes sense.

I pay $6/year for a RackNerd VPS in Los Angeles. For that price I assume the power comes from...

This.

My journey currently has one colo box, one PiKVM being built, and a train ticket bookmark. It is enough. It is more than I had.

The thread helped. Thanks to all. Especially Carl for the bracket and the Recom recommendation.

My parts also arrived. Built it last night, flashed PiKVM today. Testing against an old NUC in the closet before I trust it with the production box.

First boot: works. HDMI capture crisp at 1080p30. Keyboard input responsive. Web UI clean. Impressed.

This is the "why didn't I do this sooner" momen...
