Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I've been using DigitalOcean for years as a personal VPS box, and I've had no complaints. Not sure how well they'd scale (in terms of cost) for a site like this.
this is one part of the problem, yeah - pretty much all the VPS offerings are extremely painful cost-wise if you need chonky hosts
rootservers (or things off the serverbidding market) are way better bang for buck (i.e. my all-the-things gremlin box is dual-4TB 64GB i7-something, at ~38eur/mo)
I really, really hope they sort this shit out
