Hoping free email addresses will persist for years and not be scanned for behavior profiling or just lost or stolen is too much for me, so I go through the effort of setting up my own shitty solution. I use it to host friends' websites and simple shit like a really crappy web gallery (ain't no Flickr stealing MY blurry out-of-center photos!) It's a great way to keep some basic skills limber and provides the usefulness of having a full set of linux tools available so long as you can run a javascript app.
Linode personally has been rock-solid for me and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants the joy of fighting with their own installs of mysql and denyhosts and what have you. The couple times there have been outages they've been resolved promptly and been well-documented as to what the issues were and what was currently being done to fix them.
Specifically for you ICJ, how much a month is it worth to be able to struggle with, and ultimately possibly host for the internet, browser-based version of various IF games? $20? Minus whatever the hosting is for other sites you can consolidate onto it? Do you like managing your own security patches? |
