yeah I did the ansible. You just fill out a config file & point it at any Linux server with python installed and it’ll set things up for you

100,000 requests in 11 months? That's about 12.5 requests an hour
That is unfortunate :( they were one of the instances I could easily recommend to new users. Sad to see them go, but I get it. Moderation is hard job
so… not the British? Because they’re not EU
