Yeah the main reason that I’m interested in using OCI is because it’s free and it actively takes money away from them by me doing this. So I will happily continue to take advantage of Larry, I know he would do the exact same to me but many times worse. So it’s a great solution as long as it lasts. I get to make Larry inconsequentially poorer every second my stuff runs, plus I get some free cloud compute. Win win

This is the first thing I’ve ever read that has me considering spinning up an OCI setup.
It’s a use case half driven by value and half driven by spite, and 100% about selfishly taking things at the detriment of others - which just feels so perfectly on brand for everything having to do with Larry Ellison. A microdose of his own medicine, if you will
Making Larry lose money while you sleep, truly a reverse Uno :)
