Hey, no worries. It's in our faded memories now.

In that case, I would vote for containerizing (dockerizing) them instead automating the rebuild.
The initial learning curve would probably be making your Dockerfile, but after that it's all straightforward. If you want to move machines/architectures you just rebuild the image (or even faster, pull them, if you uploaded them to a registry).
The rebuilding part shouldn't be a pain as a lot of base images have ARM counterparts which should mean the experience building would be the same regardless of arch (which most of the times, would just a single
docker build -t deez .).you are right lol
Well looking through their thread it looks like there are a couple people using auto reply bots.
All thanks to noob and ben 😉

Ofcourse if they are found guilty of using a bot that is.

Here 15 minute review about my discounter service from @AlexPads
First off, something happened here which has never happened in all my years of 7$ chicken.
I ran apt update && upgrade, and the system was fully up to date. I don't know how you managed this sorcery but I like it.

Pretty standard setup. I probably won't use it but it's nice that nested vert is there. At this point I'll ask for some clarification:
You advertise location as NY but yabs is saying NJ. What is the actual location? I dont particularly mind as such a small discrepency wouldnt affect me, but exotic locations can be a major selling point so please be specific
Can you share pics? Any rack porn?

Jiminy Christmas I hope you have a fire extinguisher handy this thing is smokin
YABS completed in 8 min 57 secThis is a super peppy server. Green text flies up my screen like I'm Neo in the Matrix. The cpu sings and the disks do percussion while the network lays down the melody and it all works together perfectly. My plan includes 20TB data transfer. Very generous.
I haven't seen alexpads around here much but his account was registered in 2019, so at least he's been lurking for a while. And I think chose an excellent time to make an impression.
A few small notes: I didn't receive any credentials with my service. I had to login and dig around in the panel to find the ip etc. Is this a conscious decision in the name of security? Most providers send credentials in a welcome email, but i didnt technically need it.
On the subject of the panel it's worth noting that I can set rDNS without support intervention.
I browsed your website and found terms of service including SLA of 99.95% but found no acceptable use policy or fair use policy.
What is your policy on networking? How long can we saturate the line? If there is an overage is it suspended or throttled?
What is your policy on cpu usage? What is the maximum sustained usage24/7 you allow? What is the maximum time we can burst 100% cpu?
TL;DR amazing performance. No ip6. Need AUP/FUP
/edit I suck at formatting.
