Digital Ocean have joined the other numbskulls and have given a bunch of money to the Fascist-ware set of dotfiles that it omarchy.

Millions for a set of configs on top of Arch Linux.

Now I need to find an alternative.

For those not sure why people are jumping ship from people who are supporting dhh’s config files, here’s one of them: “as i remember london by dhh“

So I turn to AskFedi first for any recommendations for alternatives.

I haven't audited them for fascism-adjacency, however. It would be a major pain to migrate because of the mail server IP reputation I built on it.

They're also here on the Fedi as @beasts so that's a point in their favour.

Those who are not aware. It is obviously not an endorsement.

I hope you get other recommendations, but from a statistical sample of one:

I used Ramnode for a few years without issue, but I only had one cheap VM. They were bought by Inmotion.

To my knowledge, neither is especially evil. But I haven't done extensive research.

I'll be moving my lone DigitalOcean VM to Ramnode within a week or two.
