Re:Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7? on Friday October 09, 2026 @03:41AM (#50017331)

I host a private instance of OpenWebUI connected to OpenRouter, so I can talk to new models ~immediately after they become available. I also have Qwen3.8 27b (abliterated) running in a spare PC for any queries I know will get censored by cloud LLMs.

https://folio.photo -- it's a photography portfolio that doubles as client gallery delivery, with white labelling, password protection, and other features you don't get with the average file sharing platform.

I'm hosting my personal gallery with it: https://captures.moe

I've moved from using Authy to Aegis Authenticator [0], it's open source and allows you to export an (optionally encrypted) backup of your OTP secrets offline. I trust that more than a cloud backup. Plus you can more easily migrate if Aegis ever goes unmaintained.

Hetzner gives a generous 20TB egress for each VPS of any size. They also have dedicated servers which give you a gigabit link with unlimited traffic.

A Telegram bot I made for personal tracking. It serves a single purpose, whenever I send it a command, it logs the current timestamp to a Firebase DB. The bot itself is hosted on a free Heroku dyno. It has collected over 850 timestamps across 3+ years and I haven't had to check up on it once.

Consolidated all of my small cloud VMs from DigitalOcean, GCP, and AWS into a single dedicated server on Hetzner. It costs way less and I don't have to pay for egress anymore.

I've always seen it written as "bad rep" as in reputation.

On Android, I've been using Kiwi Browser [0]. It's Chrome but supports extensions from the webstore like desktop chrome, and has a dark mode toggle in the menu that applies custom CSS to webpages. Also has devtools, bottom navigation bar, and a setting to disable tab grouping.
