        <description><![CDATA[<p>Looking at my spreadsheet today. I realized I have about 15 active services across different providers (NATs, small KVMs, storage blocks).</p>

<p>To be brutally honest, maybe 3 of them are 'mission critical' (DNS, Mail backup, Monitoring). The rest? Just digital dust collecting uptime stats because the deal was 'too good to pass up' at $4/year.</p>

<p>I'm curious about the OG crowd here: What is your ratio of 'Critical Infrastructure' vs. 'Toys I bought for the dopamine hit'?</p>

<p>And for those idle boxes, do you actually spin anything up, or are they just expensive ping targets at this point?</p>
