BlaXpiriton Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell

Since the start of the project there has been a desire to point out that most things that work in Bash also work in Xonsh.

The motto started out as "BASHwards-compatible", but that was unsatisfactory because on one hand it sounds like nonsense, and on the other hand, it's not actually compatible with Bash. So that devolved over time into what we have now.

BlaXpiriton Vultr introduces $2.50/month plan

Just migrated from the old $5 plan to the new $2.50 plan which even has more SSD space. Unfortunately, that involved copying a snapshot to a new instance, because they don't support "downgrading", though in this particular case there was no technical reason to not support it directly.
