In case you were one of the lucky ones able to snag a free account in the olden days, the terms have changed. Instead of 4 CPU and 24 RAM that you were free to whack up amongst 1-4 VPS, now you got 2 CPU and 12 GB RAM, so either one dual-core VPS or two single-core. If you keep using the old setup beyond a certain date (can’t be bothered to look up when that is) you’ll get billed; at reasonable rates, I’m sure.

If I’m reading this correctly, the block volume storage allotment hasn’t changed, but their whole setup is hella confusing, so might be off on that.

Was really a matter of days when they was gonna axe the thing, they fired half a planet’s worth of workers, I’m amazed they left even this much.

    I suppose this is what getting your stock rated just above trash will do.

    No one should touch anything Oracle with a 5000ft pole, to be honest. Sorry you had to find out that way, OP.

    There is nothing Oracle could ever do to convince me to use their services or software even if they were free.

    Fuck Oracle, fuck Larry Ellison!

        You see what happens, Larry?

        You see what happens?

        This is what happens, Larry. This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps. This is what happens when you feed a stoner scrambled eggs.

          If I could I’d double upvote. That got an audible belly laugh. Great movie. One of those movies that has so many memorable lines.

      thanks. the notification went away after login and I wasn’t able to find its text anywhere in the myriad of pages.

      also I’d take this “does not” coming from them with a bag of salt.
