I use ionos since 10 years and I‘m very happy, but only for webhosting stuff. The VPS Services I get from Hetzner and I havent really tested them.

I did have a meeting with IONOS this week though about it and I‘m positive about the UI for new vps owners since its quite easy to grasp but I dont think they’re a better option than hetzner.

I agree. But I would go further and say if other industries didnt have more complex schemes and locked down IP (eg car manufacturing), people would def build their own shit with current tools. Its always the greed of those not willing to invest in innovation that keeps progress away. Media piracy and FOSS culture are the only real challengers to greed imo.

I‘m currently trying to bring up a rather complicated setup using garage. Garage on Homeserver behind firewall, vpn relay, peertube and other s3 compatible services on a vps. Garage works rather weill, the vpn is giving me a hard time though. Can recommend.

Peertube is essentially mastodon or lemmy with videos. Its trivial to set up compared to the other two. I run a private instance so I cant talk about the rate of issues but from an experienced admin perspective, its no more of a problem to set up and run than the others.

But I too think that long term it would be great to have more user friendly setups as to enable less experienced folks to host it.

Having as much on one machine as possible has efficiency and maintenance benefits since you have less machines to configure. The drawback is that multiple services can add up peak demands and run the machine oom which you can either solve by leaving extra headroom or make them redundant imo.

Someone with more experience than me might have other ideas to add.

It really doesnt matter much imo. The obvious best choice here would be three copies on three media in three locations. You can also argue for more. It depends on your threat model. If you have an offsite backup that is reachable from the host machine, a ransomware attack can still devastate you. I have therefore made deaddrops for backups so no machine or user has access to all of them.

My general rule with backups is the standard you pretty much hear everywhere: 3-2-1

3 copies of every file you value 2 different media 1 off site

For example, you can have two copies on one drive and a third in the cloud. That way you prevent accidental deletion, bit rot and house fire.

I really enjoyed reading this. Do you have a blog or something? Have a good one.

Can absolutely relate. Just seeing nsfw if you‘re not anticipating it is very weird.

That’s pretty genious. One way to work with trauma is moving the eyes from side to side along to a moving light. It’s basically to force the brain to work through something that used to stall it. So tetris, since it is highly reactive and logical, also needs spatial thinking, should very much force the brain to work instead of stalling.

Iirc, ptsd is something only certain characters get. We should probably focus on finding people who really have no problem watching rough content. I have ptsd so I probably am not the right person for the job.

It’s pretty awesome but I think I still need to improve a lot of stuff.

Sadly, deduplucation doesn’t help me for my docker configs as there are not many files. Deduplication would help for my bulk storage backup but I think iDrive already has something like this in their scheduling program.

You put that perfectly. Thank you.

That’s a disturbing but interesting take. Thank you very much.

The funny thing is that you can sell stocks. I know that a billionaire does not have dagoberts vault at home (maybe some do).

But their net worth is calculated somehow and in selling all assets above 999 mil, you get exactly what I‘m talking about.

I get that this is a long undertaking but we are still on the way up. This needs to stop now so we do it now. Use the money to stop the gravest polluters first and by the time you run out of money, you‘re a lot better on the scale.

Btw the estimated cost to 2030 to stop climate change is 90 trillion. So this does part of it.

Just wanted to put that out there. It’s surely gonna be a big job since most of us lack vision.

Not like we could start working only on that since we need to make stuff nobody needs to impress people we dont like./s

Also, my personal favorite in idiotic ideas is telling citizens to just not buy and suv. Just outlaw the production you maggots! We saw with covid how well voluntary behavior helped.

Yes, I blame governments for not doing what needs to be done to save the fucking planet. A mass of humans is easy to manipulate if you’re rich and can not be given this much responsibility. We elect people for this.

I really like your way of thinking. Thanks for sharing it with me today. Made my day a little better.

The interesting part are those who still don’t write letters to their congressmen and still vote for climate deniers. I just can’t.

It would be insanely easy to solve: Not one of the billionaires out there would recognize if they only had 999 mil left and neither would anybody else. That‘s a cool 10 trillion to pay towards climate change. You‘re welcome.

That money was earned using earth, so to saving earth it goes back (because no earth, no money and our billionaire overlords suprisingly havent saved us yet.)

I think this is a neat idea! How to make it work though…

From my perspective, the fediverse is mostly about pioneering. Venturing to new places where the others (twitter, reddit) have been for years and were established. We‘re still fighting trolls and stans from time to time but far less than on the reddit side.

There is corporate disobedience as we walk away from the known, the enshittified and the boring to brave places where new people might spit in our face or name you their bff.

I mean, the fediverse is really as if someone had hacked twitter, sold the code to 100 people and now they all spin up connected clones. Same with reddit. Benefit: one clone goes down and the service still exists.

If you need more inspiration i‘d suggest asking chat gpt. :)

Thats more like it! :)

Thanks friend! I liked your other comment as well btw.

Ableism at it’s best. I bet you‘re gonna ask for compensation if you ever get disabled for some reason.
