The assholes at Vultr decided to ban me yesterday.

They asked for explanations of what I used my server for and when I said "nostr" they just told me to get the fuck out.

They gave me 12 hours to access my data and migrate all my dozens of relays and services. All while treating me like a fucking criminal.

I searched for an AI to help me migrate all my stuff and found this Warp tool that is pretty damn good.

It came up with a single one linger to deploy my strfry instances, do strfry db migration, configure HTTP server, everything! I can even tell it "hey, setup blossom on blossom.f7z.io and only allow my pubkey to upload stuff"

Damn fucking wild.

A lifetime ago, I used to be a sysops at a hosting company. Migrating this much stuff would have taken me about a week of fighting old package versions, database migrations, updating configurations.

Now I literally gave root access to an LLM to help me out and it literally did it extremely well. The setup it accomplished is already better than my very ad-hoc deployment I had in my previous server.

Warp terminal app (with ref-link, just like @hodlbod! taught me) 👇

Take it to the next level by offering them your testimonial in exchange for free credits

Are these normal? Could NOSTR be illegal? We should remember this attitude and never use such services in the future. I had my youtube channel similarly restricted because its content did not meet the ethical standards of the platform, and it was about Bitcoin.

First of all, what the fuck. That said, I'm glad some good came of this. I'm going to check this out and see if this can make my life easier.

Hopefully there's no next time, but https://easydns.com/ has been accepting Bitcoin for a decade. nostr:npub1elwpzsul8d9k4tgxqdjuzxp0wa94ysr4zu9xeudrcxe2h3sazqkq5mehan is running a top notch service there

Hi there, maybe we can help you out. Take a look at our website. We also accept Bitcoin and Lightning, no personal details required.

Still curious why they asked for what purposes you use their services and what is wrong with Nostr from their point of view... Thx for the Warp link, I'm procrastinating a migration of a (for testing purposes) VPS since the announcement of CentOS7 EOL. Will check it out!

Yikes. I host the Lightning Goats stuff on Vultr.

I'm not sure what other hosting provider you landed on, but I've been using 1984 and they haven't given me any guff.

Can you share the full exchange between vultr and you?

"the assholes at Vultr" - I mean that does kind of say it all. But also, Apple, because they will ban anything.
BrightSats · 45w
Wow that’s crazy both on the side of the vps pricks and your migration solution. Thanks for your hard work.
