I've started naming my servers digiocean1.example.com, digiocean2.example.com and so on. I wish I'd done this much earlier. I already have domain names for the actual deployed services, but it quickly gets confusing when you start moving things around.

I'm always hesitant when I see digital services funded by a single one-off payment. Running a service requires ongoing funding. You sometimes see this with games that have a multiplayer component. People buy the game, but the multiplayer servers won't last forever.

I'm considering switching my personal servers (on Digital Ocean) from Ubuntu to Debian. I essentially just need something running Docker for most of my projects. Debian seems to require upgrading less often. Any opinions?
