Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the longest time you've gone without food and/or water and how was it?
3·11 days agoon the day to day I regularly do 12h during the day without food (almost every work day)
I’ve done a few 2 and 3 day fasts for various reasons
I’ve done 3 or so day stints when sick with rotavirus and when I fucked up my shoulder and waiting for surgery
All in all going with out food for 3 days is not too hard

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•is it considered rude to limit my upload in qbittorrent?English
5·15 days agoI generally seed to a ratio of 10, but if it is popular with lots of seeds I’ll stop it early, anything with under 10 seeds I have set to seed for ever - some of them are now into the 1000’s for the ratio
So my point is maybe choose what to seed rather than limit the speed - but no judgment as long as you give something back

3·20 days agoTheir prices seem very reasonable.
I think you should be fine on those specs, disk space might be (slightly) over provisioned, unless you will be keeping a couple of full local backups of the DB.
Traffic should be fine until you get scrapped, I see that my bandwidth has more than doubbled in the last 24h:

interesting, I generally can point to the cardinal direction with ease, never really think about where I park, navigated Marrakesh (among many other cities/countries over the years) without trouble pre-GPS.

If it all goes dirty-side up, I invite all lemmy.nz users to browse lemmy via no.lastname.nz, or just to take the day off
Yes, I can see that. How does the other one work - Do you start the working week on the Sabbath?

If you can swallow, and have no self worth, then Oracle is a fantastic deal:

2·26 days agoI was using a QUBIT-4 from https://quantumcore.com.au/linux-vps, I picked that up for 30% off at some stage. When SWMBO said I was spending too much on domains/hosting/offsite backup/et I had to rationalise some of my spending and moved to OCI (yes I know, worse than almost anything else). Their free tier is really good for specs - I’m only paying for the off site backup of the DB/configs etc




















It cost you nothing to add, say, OpenNIC to your system
