Nowhere? Because that's a ridiculously low amount of RAM to offer even in your cheapest offerings?
You can easily get 4 GB of RAM for $5 from the likes of Hetzner or Hostinger, so that's 16x more RAM for 2.5x the price. One relatively unknown provider I have used in the past offers 2 GB of RAM for €3.6/month (if paid monthly, €3 if anually), so 8x more RAM for 1.5-2x the price. I'm sure I could find something even cheaper, but I'm just looking at providers I have personally used.
BTW that dropdown seems to be sorted cheapest > most expensive. If you go to the bottom of the list the price for that same VPS doubles.
> The Act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".[2]
If you dig a little further, you'll notice that it also applies to "military personnel, elected or appointed officials, and other persons employed by or working on behalf of the government of a NATO member country, a major non-NATO ally including Australia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Argentina, the Republic of Korea, and New Zealand."
I wanna emphasize: This pre-dates Trump, Biden and Obama. This has been a law for over two decades. It passed both the House and the Senate with very little opposition. Both parties voted in favour of it.
One of the most absurdist takes I've seen even on the context of this topic, which brings out the worst in all of us.
It's called sovereignty. A set of sovereign nations should absolutely be able to decide that they want to form a court and arrest someone for war crimes if they set foot in their country. It's not like the court is sending agents to non-participating countries to arrest people. If the US govt decides they want to arrest e.g. Putin the second he sets foot on US soil, it's their right to do so. In fact it does so, just look at the FBI most wanted fugitives list, or Interpol red notices. Same goes here.
The prosecuted are free not to set foot in participating countries.
I don't think a slight increase in latency can hurt them financially in any way. From my own measurements between Hetzner's datacenters, the latency increased from 25 ms to 40 ms.
Mildly amusing to say this had a direct, measurable impact on me? Absolutely. Something to lose sleep over? Maybe in some extremely niche situations.
I'd assume the financial impact is from increased costs for traffic. For Hetzner's customers traffic is somewhere between free and $1/TB, compared to AWS's $90/TB. Hence Hetzner hosts a lot of high traffic websites, and their margins on traffic have to be pretty slim. And with the cheap low-latency connection between the DCs some customers are bound to run a lot of traffic between servers in different Hetzner DCs.
Now I don't know what their peering agreements look like, but it seems like they normally route everything through Frankfurt's internet exchange and now have to take some different routes.
> X now plays a diminished role in promoting our work
I'm sure every website owner noticed the same, most of the traffic received via ex-Twitter is pure junk. The amount of clicks can still be significant, but other metrics such as bounce rate and average session time really show how pointless those clicks are.
Because it's largely impossible to do it legally, with wait times sometimes being measured in decades.
The only difference between a legal and an illegal migrant is paperwork. If the paperwork route was a viable alternative, nobody would risk their lives crossing a river or a giant desert to do it illegally.
> and yesterday was Halloween weekend so it opened up the possibility to come across a bunch of drunk clubbers just looking to get fucked up
I think they're understating this part, I thought it was universally understood that the Halloween weekend is absolutely the worst time to go clubbing.
Lots of new people that don't particularly care about the music + masks is just a bad combo for the regular clubbers, regardless of the venue. Whatever issues the venue is facing on regular nights are gonna reach new heights that weekend.
What they're asking from readers is far more limited in scope than not using the whole website:
> The Tech Guild is asking readers to honor the digital picket line and not play popular NYT Games such as Wordle and Connections as well as not use the NYT Cooking app. Members of the newsroom union, Times Guild, have pledged not to do struck work, a right that’s protected under their contract.
If by "never works" you mean "someone's side project whose monetization strategy is to put up a donation link never takes down an established business worth hundreds of millions in a fraction of the time it took for such business to establish itself as some sort of a monopoly", then yeah, no shit.
The accelerationism argument made a little bit of sense two years ago, but now, after two years of marginal improvements at best? Really?
