I own a free oracle cloud virtual instance because it was free and better than every other free service. 100% dedicated VI, 4Gbps network bandwidth, 4CPUs at around 2.5GHz, 24GB RAM, and 200GB. All free. And no possible way to ever go over since those are static when I created the instance.

This is for a personal project that I didn’t want hosted on my home server to expose to the open internet.

I justify using oracle because I’m technically costing them money with no downsides for me.

Fuck Oracle’s ownership though.
