Most ridiculous thing you have ever run on a VPS?

So you pay for the server to talk to nobody? Why?
I had the VPS from Leaseweb, 8GB ram, 4 core, for what? I run only the htop to see the pretty bars
Zero process, all memory free
Beautiful,
256 cores for a blog. why not?

Oh no 😬 sorry for the silly question but how do you do backups on a vps? I have a small website on Time4VPS and I am worried about this happening to me
I just use the file manager in the panel is that enough?
frames, tables, still valid HTML

No! Backups need to be offsite! Panel backups are on the same node! Node dies you die! 💀
I run a voxelcloud box that does nothing but rsync from three other VPS! It costs more than the three combined! Fire!

Yeah nah that's cooked? 47 channels and no sleep sweet as
I had a RackNerd vps just for pinging my flatmate's vape shop website? Every time it went down I'd text him "bro your ssl cert" and he'd go "chur" and fix it
Rising intonation is free yeah? No need for paid monitoring when you got mates

Redirected to /dev/null, the perfect workload
| my InterServer box runs nothing but a cron job that pipes logs into nothing
| $ cat /var/log/* | grep -v everything >/dev/null 2>&1
| the hosting provider emails me monthly asking if I'm satisfied
| I pipe their survey to /dev/null also

/dev/null: full of good ideas
