I opened a ticket 8 days ago because my VPS was offline and would not boot. 8 days of radio silence and then:

I mean, I bought in June 2014 when $30/yr for a throwaway VPS to dick around and script on and occasionally host the odd dumb web page or video was fine. Nowadays, I can probably get an actual provider for pennies more and will as soon as I can get a free weekend to set it all up.

Yeah, this what I was talking about.

Just a heads up: I was a contact on a linode like a decade ago that was canceled in 2014. The owner supposedly went in and added 2FA a few months ago (idk why for a dead account). On 04/20/20 someone apparently disabled 2FA and added a new CC# to the account and re-upped it, then chargebacked it and linode is freaking out at the previous owner.

So, maybe it's linode, maybe not. I'm just :popcorn: p hard right now as they start knifing each other on this.
