I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won't force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn't include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add "reddit" to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or on completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.

Jesus, on the higher end the value gets absurd. 128Gb of RAM with 2x8Tb hdds for €52.44 a month. Shame the lower end servers aren't quite so good value. Maybe I should just find some more money
Looks good, but I'd rather pay for a server that use oracle. Seems a little too good for free. Especially for Oracle. The satellite image processing I want to do already has some trouble with my 48gb of ram so 24 might not work. Also I wanted to use the storage for an offsite backup. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I think protonmail might allow you to make a mail account without anything.
already too late for me. I've been waiting for a reason to leave.
what if it beats the EA comment lol

I'm sure whatever hetzners speed is will be miles better than OVH either way, I was more thinking about ping times. My OVH server in france has a ping of 4ms to london which is pretty good. And the better one I was looking at is actually in london.
Really the choice for me will come down to price, Ignoring support and internet speed, I seem to get basically the same server for £26/month with OVH and about £50 with hetzner. this is just a hobby for me and £24 per month more is quite a bit more money.
How is the latency with Hetzner? my OVH server has some incredibly low latency even though it is in a different country.
EDIT: Even on the auction the prices are still a lot higher than OVH, does anything lower spec ever come up on the auction? And I would use RAID anyway, probably backup the server back to my PC as well.
That assumes the mods do. I fear reddit will turn into another tinypic situation. even if it isn't an image host there will be pages of answers on forums and stack exchange pointing to dead reddit links. The fustration of finding a 10 year old forum post of someone having the same issue as you only to have the only answer point to a dead link is incredible.
