I used to selfhost everything like all_rom but honestly the time cost is real I am running Gentoo at home and I already compile enough things I switched to a local calendar sync via vdirsyncer to my own radicale instance not full nextcloud but I control it and it does not eat my weekends
Renewal shock avoided: how I calendar every price change now
The value-added approach my organization leverages includes automated monitoring of partner terms-page deltas via change-detection scripts this is orthogonal to the notification channel and serves as a secondary verification layer the synergy between proactive customer communication and backend monitoring ensures that discrepancies are surfaced prior to customer impact
I dont read rss feeds who has time for that my phone alarm is fine I have three vps and I just check them when the alarm goes off if the price changed I decide then if I want to keep it or move simple
Has anyone actually used change detection on Hetzner or OVH specifically I am curious if their terms pages are stable enough to monitor without false positives I tried visualping on a few providers and got noise every time they updated a copyright year
I have used a custom Script with checksum comparison on the Hetzner Terms Page and the false Positive Rate was approximately one per Quarter mostly due to minor Wording Adjustments I switched to diff-based Monitoring with a Threshold for significant Line Changes and this has reduced the Noise significantly I can share the Script if there is Interest
Following this thread for the diff script
