Here's what Oracle says: Reclamation of Idle Compute Instances Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine

Here's what Oracle says: Reclamation of Idle Compute Instances Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true: * CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 10% * Network utilization is less than 10% * Memory utilization is less than 10% (applies to A1 shapes only) https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm#compute__idleinstances https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier...

I need a Debian package that's a like a "mouse jiggler" for the CPU, a process that will automatically use enough CPU to satisfy Oracle.

  Just run a `while :; do :; done` shell script under `nice` (to have lower priority than everything else) and then under `cpulimit` (to have an upper bound on CPU usage), or in a cgroup.

Well, it was a good month with it then, I guess. My ArchArm box isn't really utilized that much. edit: stress --vm-bytes $(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2 \* 0.12;}' < /proc/meminfo)k --vm-keep -m 1 And limit CPU use using cpulimit.

  Set up a tor relay, you'll be helping others while making sure that Oracle does not your consider your network "underutilized". ORPort 9001 Nickname foobar AccountingMax 512 GB AccountingStart week 1 00:00 DirPort 9030 ExitPolicy reject *:* They give you 10 TiB of data transfer per month, this will make sure tor never goes above 4 TiB tops.

    Great idea actually, didn't even think of that.

Thanks for that. I gave up too quickly I guess. It would have been helpful if their email warning me included a link to that. I guess even Oracle is staring down the barrel of IPv4 infertility.
