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) 👇

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

root access to an LLM... ooph. could it have hallucinated some nonesense for a moment and accidentally run "sudo rn -rf /"?? Or does it ask for each command to be executed and the human must say OK?

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!

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.

Where you running a free nostr relay? or free nostr image host? If you were. Then it's probably because the freeloaders use free Nostr relays to upload questionable things that might be illegal depending on which country the server is in. When I ran my server hosting company. We have no choice but ...

The wildest, most mind blowing part of this is where you gave an LLM root on your box. Vultr has sucked since they began (maybe they were cool for 3 months).

Man, fuck Vultr. Nice work with the LLM though and thank you for sharing your story about this 👀

Holy shit. This is the first I've heard of anybody coming after nostr. We've been small and flying under the radar, but also not very controversial content IMHO. I'm actually suprised.

I'm not understanding the problem from their perspective. Did they give you any explanation for the cancellation? https://blossom.primal.net/8df2dfa990dc144d65c30a6bab6ac1ef65a096d6bea892676d321a6d65e50421.png

Any chance you could share the rejection reason from Apple? Was it about zaps? Also, was the Vultr shutdown related to NSFW images? Or something else?

"the assholes at Vultr" - I mean that does kind of say it all. But also, Apple, because they will ban anything.

Wow that’s crazy both on the side of the vps pricks and your migration solution. Thanks for your hard work.
