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 😪
I'm struggling trying to set up my own capsule on a raspberry pi. I had everything working yesterday but today somehow I lost everything for no reason. I'm too tired to get this shit together again, too much effort.
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...
