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?

Digital Ocean still growing at 20% YoY and targeting profitability in 2 years: https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/20/digitalocean-raises-100m-in-debt-as-it-scales-towards-revenue-of-300m-profitability/ I'm a happy DO user but I like to know about the profitability of the services I use.
