Yeah, it's really sad. I am going to be switching off of Linode after using it for many years happily.

I am considering trying to exclusively use Oracle Cloud's "always free" tier. They literally give away small VMs for hobbyists and I've had one around for a few years now. Reliability isn't as good as Linode (what do you expect for free?) but as a small timer/hobbyist I don't really care.

(as an aside, driving hobbyists away from your product to Oracle of all things is quite funny to me)
