Glasgow here. Friend runs monero node on Oracle Cloud free tier. No dedicated IP but he uses dynamic DNS. Not what OP asked but zero cost. Just saying there are angles.

Following this thread with interest. I have started photographing the Openreach cabinets around Glasgow since the FTTP rollout. The new ones are boring Huawei green but the old PCPs with multiple overlays of sticker and rust are proper industrial archaeology.

No Ampere though. Just a Pi 4 in a cupb...

Mate. Step away from the servers. I did 14 years in a Glasgow NOC and the only thing that got me was a drinking habit. Your health is worth more than five nines.

Following this with interest. Glasgow here, no OVHcloud presence, but I buy transit from someone who does. My prefixes stayed visible, so the leak didn't propagate downstream. Good filter practice I guess.

I'm in Glasgow on a Virgin Media residential line. They block outbound 53 by default now, have for two years. You have to call and argue to get it unblocked, and they warn you that open resolvers violate AUP. The ISP is doing the security that the self-hoster forgot.

This. I interviewed someone last month who linked a thread where they debugged a BGP flap. Got the job. Another had "DigitalOcean enthusiast" as a bullet point. Pass.

I use the terminal always, no? Is not good the file manager GUI. But sometimes I open VS Code, not? The terminal is faster for server good. I do not like the cPanel file manager, no?

Don't. I ran a site on a host that turned out to be reselling Hetzner https://www.hetzner.com and marking up 400% while claiming "green servers." Took me a year to notice. These traps are designed.

Same Glasgow. Which Contabo DC you in? Mine's London, ping from here 18ms.

Same approach here. I also add "including derived metrics, visualizations, and any data that could identify customer infrastructure topology." They hate it. Good.
