For anyone who is struggling to figure out how to delete their DigitalOcean account (it’s not obvious):

1. In Account Settings, delete all of your teams

   • This redirected me to a different setting page with an option to deactivate my account

2. Click Deactivate Account

3. Select the checkbox to purge your account data
4. Confirm that you’d like to deactivate and purge your account
5. (Optional but recommended) Fill out the exit survey and tell them that they’re supporting a neo-Nazi

Please don’t fuck Elon Musk, he’s already got too many kids :P (and already mistreats some of them)

As soon as I saw this I mirrored the repo here. Notably, the original repo is still up but it just got marked as archived.

That’s a very elegant way of doing it! I need to do something similar with my setup one day. Having everything hosted in my home gives me the most control but also a lower availability than if I ran everything in someone else’s datacenter. Currently an outage means that browsers and other clients just time out which is not very informative. Have you explored any other options? I was thinking of spinning up a dedicated VM somewhere to handle this and automatically switching over DNS entries at the same time (maybe automatically update DynDNS when the VM boots).

WRT is this relevant to selfhosted: I think some people will disagree, but Cloudflare is still selfhosting. It’s not localhosting, but as long as it’s services that you provision yourself it’s selfhosting.
