EvosHosting Discussion on LowEndTalk

Purchased two storage VPS from EvosHosting at a discounted rate, but the experience has been frustrating, with delays in provisioning, price increases, downtime, and lack of support. While they offer cheap deals, reliability and customer service leave much to be desired.
Unfortunately, experienced downtime with my VPS with EvosHosting today as well. It has been several months. No response from the customer support.

Monetr budgeting application

Monetr is a budgeting application that aims to make it easier for people to budget around recurring expenses. While making it absolutely clear how much you have left over to budget or use for other unplanned spending. It is based off of the now defunct Simple. It is also completely free to self-host.
I’m not sure if this is a direct competitor to Actual Budget, but looking at the sample compose file, you need to run 3 Docker images for this app, vs. Actual’s 1 only. So, I choose Actual.

A simple, speedy, and secure link shortener with analytics, 100% run on Cloudflare.

About 2 years ago, I’ve been looking for a good self-hosted URL shortener/Bitly alternative. YOURLS was the only one around. Nowadays, we’ll never run out of alternatives.

This one looks sleek though, and can be run on Cloudflare.

This is a free-to-use Bash script that allows you to easily install Pixelfed and enhance its security with a single command. You can utilize this script on a blank server or an existing server, making it suitable for both new and experienced Pixelfed server owners.
