How to create work from home opportunities in the locality you live? How to generate leads for this? My first thought was something like digitalization of the public courts. It is a tall order. There are many aspects to this; and primarily I think this is a "short-term work". But what are simpler WFH jobs people can do? In many countries I am sure we can see ads, but, they are hard to trust. What can generate trust? Something like, "it is backed by the city council, or, mayor". Is it impossible? Just wanted various viewpoints on this. When can opportunities come? How to seek them? Etc.

They used to host Oracle Virtual Box images. Now I don't find the site updating itself.

Read a good article about UPI from here long while back: https://blog.setu.co/articles/upi-103-the-settlement

The above is the explanation to inter-bank settlement processes. This is a 3-part article and links to the other parts are available therein. It gives a nice overview of UPI as implemented by NCPI in India.

My question is what constitutes a settlement failure? How does this affect customers and banks?

In my personal experience, sometimes payments can take up to 3 days to succeed. Is it anything to do with inter-bank settlements?

Or is it that the sheer volume of such incomplete or delayed payments actually constitutes inter-bank settlement failures?

RBI also has introduced CDBC to address the problem of settlements. But I'd like to understand settlements is a problem first, before I understand how CDBC will help with settlements.

Already own a virtual machine instance (5 usd/month) and hosting a few simple services and website.

The website is single page. No complex backend. At most it fetches stuff from another web service and does some crawling/crunching. I don't expect high loads here.

Mainly asking for the website self-hosting purpose only.

Can I downgrade here? Also just wondering what do most people use a 1cpu 0.5gb machine for? VPN? Personal website? Or something else?
