I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I’ve used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.
I think I’m on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it’s not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.
I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.
I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.
I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I’m not great with Linux. You don’t have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren’t there yet.
I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.
Biggest problem I’ve had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.
I’m only enough to remember when corporations were not people, and when the ultra wealthy paid taxes.
There is a smaller percentage of women on Lemmy. And seems like a higher percentage of sexists. So I block a lot more accounts here.
I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I’m talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I’m talking about.
You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I’m talking about people learning the skills over time.
Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.
Education of people is always(?) better, I’d say.
It’s good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.
What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.
But that is too short sided.
More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that’s more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.
And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.
This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.
So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.
I’d prefer some other state to get it than Texas. If Texas is going to deny federal money for unemployment and for healthcare, then Texas doesn’t deserve federal money for other good projects.
And this is coming from someone in Texas who would benefit from it.
Texas GOP governor Greg Abbott has told state employees to try to avoid federal money because it might come with strings that require treating non rich and non whites as human.
Remember when Greg Abbott had a tantrum and basically shut down the Texas-Mexico border to most road traffic and fucked over all the rest of the US who was depending on products to come from Mexico?
Let Texas feel what it would be like to secede.
It would be nice if politicians could understand the cost of war at a soldier’s level. Politicians should feel a war; not just sit in their protected and lavish war room barking orders and treating lives as meaningless numbers.
I didn’t know Matt Gaetz took a trip to Colombia.
Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.
