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.

Wow you're right. You are a stingy bastard.
Never run anything on a free tier if you want to keep it. My legit Oracle account got flagged and deleted for no reason so they're dead to me, and I'll tell anyone who will listen. They're thieving assholes and will snatch away free tier the moment it's convenient for them.
Do you really need netbird? What for?
Spend some money, consider it the cost of education
To tag onto this... for a low end VPS I love Hetzner. No, they aren't the cheapest, but the cheaper options are generally bottom-of-the-barrel unstable garbage or require promotions that expire. Hetzner is stable, professional, and cheap. Great choice for a simple personal VPS.
Netcup is cheaper (as far as I know) and really reliable too. Also based in Germany. I use one of their VPS to host my stuff.
Nice! Love to learn new options.
Can really recommend them. They guarantee the lowest price for VPSs and are very reliable. My company (more than 250 people) uses them to host some stuff too.
I've only had good experiences. Very reliable.
I'm going to chime in and recommend Racknerd. Inexpensive and rock solid for me.
As long as you're not running Plex lol
I use Vultr and OVH.
I've heard good things about OVH.
