Hi, I am currently running Big Sur in my MacBook Pro 2014 which is the latest OS supported by Apple (and I don't know for how long they will) I have used Open Core Legacy Patcher before and ran Monterey with it, and then upgraded to Ventura, I wasn't happy with the end result because Ventura was pretty fresh by the time and in order to find a cleanest version I rolled back to Big Sur.

Now I am dealing with some issues when my Mac is on battery (which was replaced recently), and a fresh install of Big Sur didn't help, so now I am thinking about upgrading it again in order to do some troubleshooting, now that Sonoma is almost on the table (actually haven't checked if it is coming for this model).

If you have a this or similar model what would you recommend?

From time to time I get linked to my already subscribed communities (from c/all for example) and I just noticed that when I go to such a community it will give me the option to subscribe, but I'm already subscribed if I hit subscribe no weird issues will occur, I will only get a bottom popup saying that I subscribed successfully, doesn't seem to affect my usage, is it a common bug?

I currently use a Droplet from DigitalOcean which gives me 1 gb of RAM, 25 gb of storage and a bandwidth limit of 1 TB which is priced at 6 dollars per month, I think this might be a good offer, but I also think I'm overpaying because the only thing that I use from that is Wireguard to get around CGNAT at my home (which I could already do with Zerotier or Tailscale, so I don't always use it).

I do have a couple of docker containers as well, but the most important one being Pi-Hole is only used along with WG, I also expose some services to the internet, like Overseerr, Plex (only to 1 user) and most recently this, https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all

Keeping within what DO already offers me would be nice, especially the bandwidth, which I some months got past of it because I opened the torrent port to seed more... I stopped when a DO letter arrived which is amusing because my country could not care less about torrenting. 🤣

I tried to go with the cheapest option ever (free) oracle cloud, but they never accepted any of my credit or debit cards nor they cared about it lol.

I don't think I'm a power user by any means, so please, if you have a better offer do tell, or maybe that price is fair for my usage?

EDIT: forgot to add that a public IPv4 address is a must, because you know, the CGNAT.
