Lot of sales for 4th of july (and ongoing ones) where you can pay $10-$14 for a YEAR of a small cheap VPS. Usually only has 1GB of memory, but that's plenty to play around with and learn. If nothing else, a good cheap ipv4 you can use for some port forwarding. There are lots of options, but I've used racknerd and ethernetservers which have been fine.

I have my own server at home, but I bought two small ones to start learning Ansible with in a risk free way. Eventually plan to redo my main server with a complete Ansible setup, really want to hop on that "infrastructure as code" train.

Matrix is awful.

I will say that they have been putting a lot of effort into making it better, and it is better than it was, for sure. But it still sucks.

I'm picky about software FWIW. Maybe in another couple years they'll have basic UX, security, and performance figured out.
