Thinking about switching from Contabo to Oracle free tier.
Should I?

Btw @yoursunny don't worry I will enable ipv6 on Oracle.
Thanked by 1yoursunny

The end is nigh.
Just wanted to say it.
Does not matter for idling...
Oracle is ARM so you need to remember that you cannot run everything prebuilt.
LET posters try hard not to provide even the most basic information to be able to make any reasonable advice.
Making the best decisions is all about having all information available to be informed on the decision.
Fucking hell.
Contabo, no brainer choice
Hmm, at first I thought this a joke but seeing those benchmarks, I see the logic in the question. Tempted to say Oracle (maybe making some bad assumptions) + being cheap (???)
With free products YOU are the product.
Debian supports arm64 pretty well - IIRC, ~99% of the packages are available for ARM64, anbd those that aren't are tightly coupled to another architecture in some way (eg. the ZSNES SNES emulator is only available for i386 as it uses x86 assembly code). All of your standard server software is available for ARM64 on Debian.
Jokes on them, Im barely worth the added cost of cheese on a McChicken
Don't forget to organise free legal advice in case you need to sue Oracle
Used the Oracle free tier months ago. I got called from Kathie several times a week.
Read this thread --> https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/160260/oracle-cloud-free-tier/p1
It has lots of insight, now don't expect someone here to summarize it for you.
So to address your concerns.
1. I dont care if someone looks into my garden.
2. Most of the stuff I download runs on PHP as a website
3. The utilization on that vps is near zero, I'm literally throwing money away at it, so it stays alive.
4. And well looking at the benchmarks oracle seems like a very good deal for what you get, and in case of anything I've got a free forever vps from boomer.host that can be my escape if I ever need to.
I guess you already know the answer.
Good value for the money, good enough for many projects. Keep a backup just in case (with another provider, maybe a cheap BF storage VPS? Scaleway S3 free tier?) and you should be fine.
