Things intended for local use, like Pihole also don't work on cloud servers without getting banned for DNS abuse.
Are you talking about running a public DNS resolver?
That's a very different topic that wasn't part of the original post as far as I can tell.
There have always been (and there always will be) countless solutions for hosting a website for free. Even ignoring the security implications, mobile networks are not designed to do what you want to do. Full stop. If you can't find a cloud provider in 2023 that will host a free website that will meet your needs, you aren't looking hard enough.
Mobile providers spend billions in CAPEX every single year to keep up with ever-increasing demand (spectrum, base stations, radios, antennas, etc.) and even then they can barely keep up in some areas.
Every device attached to a given cell shares the resources of that cell. And uplink bandwidth is specifically scarce. Don't be a bad neighbor.
It used to be totally free. Glancing at the reviews, many people were very upset when they switched to a $4.99 monthly subscription model.
They did crowdsource the data (they have a companion app where they will pay you per property map). And as a result, they don't have information about every single complex. But I have found the data that is available has been invaluable to me in time savings.
The app also defaults to HERE maps (with Google maps as an option), and some people don't seem to like those.
All of the sub-$1 coins that I have ever received as change in my lifetime would not add up to $100. But I also don't use (or even carry) cash unless I absolutely must.
Edit to add: I have a jar too. It's a standard mason jar. I started filling this one after my last move. In 2013.
I am sorry that you had to personally experience data loss from one specific hardware failure. I will amend the post to indicate that a proper hardware RAID controller should use the SNIA Common RAID DDF. Even mdadm can read it in the event of a controller failure.
Any mid- to high-tier MegaRAID card should support it. I have successfully pulled disks directly from a PERC 5 and imported them to a PERC 8 without issues due to the standardized format.
ZFS is great too if you have the knowledge and know-how to maintain it properly. It's extremely flexible and extremely powerful. But like most technologies, it comes with its own set of tradeoffs. It isn't the most performant out-of-the-box, and it has a lot of knobs to turn. And no filesystem, regardless of how resilient it is, will ever be as resilient to power failures as a battery/supercapacitor-backed path to NVRAM.
To put it simply, ZFS is sufficiently complex to be much more prone to operator error.
For someone with the limited background knowledge that the OP seems to have on filesystem choices, it definitely wouldn't be the easiest or fastest choice for putting together a reliable and performant system.
If it works for you personally, there's nothing wrong with that.
Or if you want to trade anecdotes, the only volume I've ever lost was on a TrueNAS appliance after power failure, and even iXsystems paid support was unable to assist. Ended up having to rebuild and copy from an off-site snapshot.
Sure, but wouldn't the calorimeter's reading still be the theoretical maximum since it's based on thermodynamics? In other words, an inefficient metabolism may see a net gain of fewer calories, but it shouldn't ever see greater.
