You make some excellent points and I agree with everything you say. I would just like to point out the convenience factor of having someone cook the eggs for you.

At home, I cook eggs for breakfast. Why? Because I’m the best at it. Why? Because I’m always the one who does it. Kind of a vicious cycle…

It’s nice when someone else does it for me, even if I could do a slightly better job myself. Simply not having to do it makes it more enjoyable

Clearly you’ve never been to hotel that has an egg chef at the buffet. Eggs cooked to perfection on demand.

That said, everyone needs more Kenji in their life!

None at all. They’ve been very reliable for the years when I’ve used them, but they’re no longer the cheapest kids on the block. I’m just wondering if I can do better now that there is more competition.

I do have a home server, but some services I want to have external, so a vps makes sense.

I’ve looked at ionos, but the reviews seem mixed. I’ve seen people complaining that their account got blocked and they demanded proof of ID before unlocking. Might be isolated cases, though, so thats why I’m looking for recommendations

Even calyx with a 6 month gap in updates is better than that
