Services I genuinely use for the cluster, this site, and personal life. Signing up through these links gives you a sign-up bonus and credits me a little — at no extra cost to you.
I only list things I actually pay for and would recommend without a kickback. If a service ever stops being worth recommending, it comes off the list — independent of whether the referral still pays out.
Verizon-owned prepaid wireless on the Verizon network. Single-line plans starting around $25/mo, hotspot included, no contract. I switched off a legacy carrier years ago and the savings have been quiet but real — same coverage I had before, a fraction of the bill.
For you: New customers get a discount on their first month with this link.

VPS and dedicated server host. I've been with Catalyst for years — the boxes just work, the network just works, and when something does need a hand the response is fast and genuinely kind. Ryan, who runs it, is the kind of host you stop comparison-shopping for because you stop having a reason to.
For you: Solid pricing, real human support, and the same plans I run my own infrastructure on.
