I see that you operate a movie recommendation website.

Do you want a VPS provider that ignores copyright complaints?

Yes, familymoviedb.com. It's a side project. Have not had any copyright complaints so far. The question at hand here is completely unrelated...

Essentially just looking to have my own VPN and not have to rely on a VPN-as-a-service (e.g. ExpressVPN, SurfSharkVPN, Mullvad, etc, etc).

Thanks for the recommendations! I've added them to my list of considerations...

Good point. Updated the criteria to "no/fewest".

Having anonymous login and crypto as a payment option seems it would go a long way here...

Build something you wish existed. Simple as that.

Even if it already exists but there are things about it that annoy you (and others), build a better version (competitor).

I'm trying to decide whether to do this same thing or try and keep all of the "backend" parts in Cloudflare Workers (Pages Functions) and other "serverless" options (such as Turso for the DB).

Recently learned about https://coolify.io (as another option that seems worth considering).

Interesting question.

Curious also if there's any practical approach for this (guessing there's not).

While looking for similar projects I also learned about https://coolify.io/ (from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCIfWhAheVw).

Coming from Netlify/Vercel/etc this seems like it could be a better option.

What are the reasons you use both a self-hosted VPS running CapRover and Cloudflare Pages?

LOL! Love the spirit of this... (though most likely won't go this route)

Hadn't heard of pockethost before.

Recently learned about https://www.convex.dev/ which seems worth consideration.

How do you prevent issues with potential traffic spikes and such (with running 10 services on a single instance) (this is probably a dumb question... most of my experience is on the frontend)?

Hosting and database?

Recently learned bout CapRover... Curious if you would ever consider the "bare VPS" route after having used it or if it (or something like it) has become essential.

Database?

There's a good read on a similar project called https://openalternative.co here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/how-i-grew-a-side-project-...

The HN post for it is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39639386.

Where is the source code for these email templates and websites?

How do you consume your RSS?

It's always been something i've felt like i'd benefit from but have never found an app/workflow that works for me.

Which "Ocean Next"?

I see:

- Material Ocean Next

- Ocean Next Extended

- React Ocean Next Extended

- React Ocean Next Extended - Italic

But no standalone "Ocean Next"

Oh, right, this is helpful to keep in mind.

One Dark Pro Darker

Oh, nice. Will be testing out this one.

[...] I just randomly pick on ones in a while

Oh, interesting. Do you find that it takes a period of time after switching before your eyes become accustomed to the change (from a quick-code-readability perspective)?

Some themes work better with one language than the other.

Yeah, this is the most annoying part for me.

I remember reading a post a long time ago praising the benefits of not using syntax highlighting while coding (I'm not sure, but it may have been this one: https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/syntaxhighlighting/). Not sure if I could ever get used to not having syntax highlighting, but so much of what I like/dislike about themes revolves around syntax highlighting... perhaps it's worth testing for a period of time with syntax highlighting disabling (I assume this is even possible?).

There's https://fleek.co/.

It's not a drop-in replacement, but relevant to the conversation here.

Haven't used it yet but it's increasingly on my radar.

Yeah, I can certainly relate to this.

Check the email address and make sure it's actually from ledger.com (NOT with switched "g" and "d", e.g. legder.com).

From looking on Ledger's officially Twitter account, it seems like a number of folks have been receiving these lately and they're 100% phishing scams (see https://twitter.com/Ledger/status/1318294484208279556).
