up until now ive been hosting my site on a DigitalOcean droplet with 8GB of memory. the reason being that that's how much I needed to play Minecraft: Vault Hunters. But that costs like $40 a month and I don't play minecraft all that much anymore. so I'm downsizing.

I've temporarily downgraded that server to its minimum, and I'm spinning up a new server which is even smaller than that. DigitalOcean has a $6/mo tier which gives you 10 GB storage and 1 GB memory, which is _plenty_ for hosting a personal site. Heck, its probably enough to host _several_ personal sites. And if storage is an issue... well, I'll figure that out later, but even paying by the gigabyte, storage is cheaper than memory.

Oh yeah also: you might notice that the url for this entry is currently */b/20*. I'm making all my urls shorter, just because I can. This is gonna break a few permalinks, but oh well. I trust y'all will figure it out.

Oh! Speaking of which: the source is visible at <https://git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.net>. If you want a site hosted on hatspace, just drop me a line! Currently I'm running static hosting with apache2 but at some point I'll figure out php and/or expressjs, I swear.
