Well the Akamai takeover was 2 years ago, so fairly certain whatever you have now is how it ended up panning out.

I did panic a bit when it happened but my Linode just keeps working so I’m not unhappy.

Was it two years ago?? I could have sworn it was less than a year ago. Anyway yeah I’m happy with Linode

Ironically one of the reasons I abandoned Linode for Hetzner was because I assumed Akamai would ruin it. I still have stuff on Linode and I don't think Akamai ruined it.

With that said, Hetzner's prices are still cheaper and I've never had issues with their service, but I feel gaslit by this announcement.

As an age-old Linode customer from the UML days, I'd say that Akamai has done a good job with it. I've had nothing to complain about.

As a long term linode user, I think the enshittification is well underway :(
