packet.net looks interesting. I wish there was a free tier to explore it.

Heh - yep. They have the type 0 which is $0.05/hr. It was a gateway drug for me <_<. Type 0 is also where I contain my scrapy farm. I find it works pretty effectively.

I'll shoot them a note linking to your comment

Also: Thank you for whomever linked to my blog post!

So $0.05/hr is pretty cheap, but agreed free trial is better. We made a little page with $25 on it if you'd like to try it out! https://www.packet.net/promo/hacker-news/
