  @jsg - fair point.
  At present we have the resources and I hope they will continue to grow to keep pace with the AI trends.
  Your comment is certainly noted and as we are more 'startup', adding the AI restriction would likely cause a big slow down.
  Can you or I stop the use of AI - no, so I feel we I just have to go with the flow
  But thanks as always for your feedback (it keeps me focused).

  Just a small update.
  We can now offer a 'rebuild' feature.
  It allows you to specify you would like either a re-install at current location or alternatively reinstall with different OS.
  The rebuild also works across locations, e.g. if your VM is in Moldova running Ubuntu, you could request a rebuild in Frankfurt (de1) with Debian.
  Note this is not a migrate, with a rebuild, all of your data will be lost and it is only available if you are using NAT and IPv6 (not have a static IP).

  Sure - this is our new Frankfurt (de1) server from @sthosting
  Note this is GB5 (to compare all my servers I always use the same GB).

  This is good news, fossvps is getting better and better.

  Hello, thank you so much for this service! It's so kind and generous!

  I have an open-source hobby project: https://github.com/Revadike/SteamKey.Trade/
  It's a website for the community by the community, zero profit, just for the love of the game.
  I currently run the backend via supabase. But my free credits there are running out soon, and it will become too expensive to pay out of pocket. The free plan of supabase won't be enough to run this, mainly the limited database space (only 500 mb). So I am hoping you would perhaps grant me your free VPS, so I can selfhost supabase on it. Thank you 🙏
