OVH has an option for $3.50 (which I think is _cheaper_ than it was when I signed up a couple years ago, and I don't _think_ I'm looking at CAD pricing)... Compare: OVH: https://us.ovhcloud.com/vps/ 1 vC

I'll reply to you, though there are a couple others in this comment chain that it seems relevant (but possibly not...) to - Airtable has one of the best API guides I've seen, because you can load it up in a table you already have,

So the rest of the reply chain here is...certainly something. I won't comment on most of the points, but I will just point out - you can now disable automatic previews; I believe it's in your profile settings. As for whether Netf

Could you clarify that note about Stoned Meadow of Doom? I mentioned them in my sibling comment - I'm not affiliated, have just been enjoying the channel off-and-on for years, so I'm curious.
