@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io All Debian releases get 5 year LTS support like Ubuntu LTS releases. There’s also commercial/paid ELTS support for 10 years, but I’ve never used that.

@rastilin (After having read the blog post I do agree though that that particular instance is overengineered compared to the number of users it has to an almost comical degree)

@rastilin Sure, it's cheaper.... Until a hard drive fails at 3 am or you unexpectedly need to scale up. And of course once you've scaled up you can't trivially scale back down again because you may be stuck with a minimum lease/commitment.
Not to mention all the administrative overhead of having to run a hypervisor for virtual machines and all that jazz yourself.
There certainly is a point at which dedicated hardware makes sense, but for a professional setup imo it comes much later.
