Thanks!!! Turns out they want a credit card and won’t accept the gift cards I have (I don’t even have a debit card yet nor a job)

 

So I'm trying freevps.edu.pl to run a Lemmy/PieFed server. It's not working so far. My server is left on pending and no matter how I try to activate it, it doesn't work. It claims to have "instant" activation as long as you verify your account and is supposed to provide you with an IP address, but it won't.

I’m in america, i just know some norwegian :)

Ahhhhh, I get it now. Thanks :) In the meantime, I will just run communities on other instances, like my Scandinavian Left-Wing politics community on the PieFed instance I use!

I might

  1. Get new equipment and always run my old computer

  2. Get a Raspberry Pi

  3. Keep running my new computer forever

I tried freevps.edu.pl but that won't work either, it leaves my VPS on pending no matter what I do

Oracle Cloud isn't available in my location by the way, and I tried Google Cloud, it keeps crashing when I do an instance and it wants me to pay all of a sudden.

 

I have no job, so the gift cards I have are prepaid and only have a few dollars on them. I should get a job soon, but in the meantime, I want to run my own Lemmy instance. I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to do so? If I run it on just my computer, it'll shut down when my computer turns off, and there is an old computer my parents have but they won't let me use it because they don't wanna buy a new charger (The charger cord is broken)
