From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello, all. Does anybody have experience with the LibreCloud hosting service? It seems very attractive with reasonable pricing for a 1TB plan ($15/month) and United States servers close to my area, but I can find almost nothing about it, positive or negative online.

I really need to make sure my files are safe, and self-hosting isn't an option (at the moment) with my atrocious cable upload speed and data cap. Do any of you use it or could recommend an alternative? I am also looking into proprietary cloud storage, at least temporarily, like pcloud and icedrive.

I've seen some very negative feedback about Hetzner, and my needs are much smaller. I really only need a terabyte, and I can't afford more than around $15 a month, especially if I cannot install software.
