I just posted a blog of our campervan trip to Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa in Northern Territory.

Interestingly, two days before Oracle deleted my account and all servers associated with it, I publicly criticized Oracle's CEO in a viral post for promising dystopian AI surveillance technology to his investors.

What a weird coincidence.

After realizing that my servers were offline since the 25th of January 2025, I've been in contact with Oracle support in a multitude of ways trying to figure out why this happened and how we can recover both the account and data.

I wasn't told that my account was disabled. I didn't receive an E-Mail or anything. When logging in, I was simply told that my username or password was incorrect. After (successfully) resetting my password twice, I realized it wasn't about the password. Oracle had just deleted my account without any notice.

Both through calls and text, always with the same service request (SR) number, I contacted support. Initially, support told me that my account was flagged “Inactive” and hence disabled. They also verified that they saw me login almost daily and that I never missed a payment or anything. Even if an account was inactive, that's never a reason to disable it, especially without any warning E-Mail or an E-Mail letting me know that my account was disabled in the first place.

This chat was the result of all of that, where the highest team I've yet been elevated to told me that there's nothing they can do about it, there's no reason they can tell me for why this happened, and there's no one else I could ask.

Erik Uden wrote: That is a shame. Is there really nothing we can do? Why was I not warned of this Occurring? did not use the account outside of what was allowed, did I?

A screenshot of a text conversation between a high level Oracle Cloud support team member and Erik Uden. Erik Uden writes “If there would've been any warning would have done whatever is necessary to change or paid money. I am just very confused as to why this happened.”

The Oracle Cloud Team member responds with “There is no way to recover the account. understand this was a surprise to you, as it came without any notice, and am sorry for that.”

The Oracle Cloud employee responds “Thank you for your understanding, do think these could have been handled better.”

Erik Uden writes again “This was years worth of work”

This is a public service announcement to never ever use Oracle

A screenshot of an interaction with Oracle Cloud customer service where I ask: "I understand that. So for a reason that I cannot be told my account was terminated without any notice, all of my data deleted, and there is nothing Oracle can do to change this?"

Oracle support responds "That is correct."

today I learned that “rompecabezas” means jigsaw puzzle in Spanish

“rompe” means “break”
“cabezas” means “heads”

so, literally head-breaker(s)

The DOGE bros are going to kill us.

แต่ก็ ดูจากความคิดเห็นตรงนี้แล้ว ค่อนข้างจะชี้นำว่า รถสาธารณะฟรีไม่จูงใจมากพอ ตราบใดที่โครงข่ายการเดินทางยังไม่จบถึงปลายทางจริงๆ https://www.facebook.com/bkkhumans/posts/pfbid02VdpcFH7PCMqRquVzHCQ8AWqrGK16hUPMMdij4YaF7b5sjiu21LZAFt4z24xox5Y7l

Sun Valley, just outside Ketchum, Idaho. Beautiful, but lots of bugs when we were there.

Our motorhome is set up with solar panels and lithium battery system that allows us to dry camp for extended periods without relying on a generator. Our best dry camping experience was in Idaho, outside the town of Stanley. A gorgeous place.
