Re: "Urgh, my capsule is down thanks to Oracle's free tier cloud..."
So I got a simply Gemini server running on fly.io, it's not ideal as it's currently serving a static file baked into the container, but I think I might have a solution for that, to allow updating content without having to deploy the whole server again. Anyway, it seems to be working (although with IPv6-only given the free tier [apparently shared IPv4 addresses limit you to HTTP/HTTPS ports only, so I only allocated an IPv6 to my "app" as dedicated IPv4 are definitely not free]). Might be a solution after all!

sigh, so the option i didn't talk about was self-hosting. we do have a proxmox server, but it's almost entirely inhouse servers that we don't access from outside. So I just caved and set up a VM there and I'm back online, same address, same certificate:
Just slightly annoyed I have to punch more holes in my firewall 😪
Urgh, my capsule is down thanks to Oracle's free tier cloud service being jank as hell. Per [gemini link] alls I gotta do is rebuild the instance and I can use the same boot volume and stay within the free tier now that my trial is up. Except I'm getting: Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-1. So now I gotta either wait until it's free, or destroy my boot volume (I have a local backup of the relevant dirs) and move to a new AD. I'm gonna go do...
