Not_Johnon Is this Duplo train track under too much tension?

I have the suspicion that this could be a future Advent of Code Puzzle.

Not_Johnon Try: run a command and inspect its effects before changing your live system

The title reminds me of my time in a call center. At that time I was trying to earn an income working as an inbound and outbound agent for a large german telecommunications network operator. When I was fired, my team leader gave me the advice: "There's no trying, just do or don't do." (in German of course)

I think I had a moment of post-traumatic stress disorder while reading the title.

But binpash seems to be a very useful and nice piece of software that i will gladly give a try. :)

Not_Johnon DigitalOcean VPC

So there is a link in that Blog post (https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/bandwidth/) wich got me thinking about the $.01 Price and the Bandwithpool.

1000GB Data consumption is 10$ (1.000 GB @ $0.01 / GB) but adding a Droplet for 5$ adds 1000GB to you Datapool.

So with adding cheap Droplets you could lower the Bandwith Cost 50%?
