No, I didn’t say that. It depends on your risk model. If you are an average Joe don’t worry that services are charging your credit card. If you are hiding from government then better use less online services, and if you must then find ones that accept crypto
TLDR: “privacy” services can’t be bothered and you shouldn’t too if you are not doing illegal stuff.
These “privacy-oriented” services are businesses that need to earn money, not scare away potential clients and avoid legal issues. Accepting cash or crypto is a risk for legal and accounting reasons. They just don’t think it’s worth it.
Now, to link a particular activity on a particular service with you via your payment is not a trivial task. Government can do it, but it really matters if you think you are or will be targeted by it. Data miners can correlate bank payment with an account at a service provider only if both bank and service provider sell or leak data, which is less likely if you are using a privacy a oriented service.
The article says they replaced them with remote workers in India, I’m assuming with even lower wages
I’m running Nextcloud from a Turnkey LXC template that’s available in Proxmox. Runs solid, I have no complaints for performance or stability. But upgrades are manual and very involved. It’s not too complicated, but there is always something that needs extra attention or troubleshooting. I also wasn’t able to figure out Turnkey migration toolset that they suggest to use for major upgrades, such as to new version of OS.
I second this. It makes total sense - computer memory is a volume to be filled with data. They ain’t call parts of a hard drive volumes for nothing.
This could be caused by the training dataset cutoff date. These models are not being trained on real time, so they don’t have information about recent events. War in Ukraine is lasting longer than 2 years already, and the current Gazan conflict is relatively recent. My quick search didn’t find what Gemini dataset cutoff date is.
Yeah, I see many suggestions to do just that. Might be a good time to go check a local library.
OMG that’s the one! Thank you! I need to review the article and discussion though
It’s not just a web front end. I would call it a software development lifecycle service. On top of repos for source code management there could be a bunch of services: Issue tracker, CI/CD automation, static pages hosting, flexible permissions system, even pull requests - all this is not Git.
Forge is a nice and easy name, but not sure if many people realize what it means or recognize that meaning.
Welcome to [email protected] - you’ll learn not to share your phone number with strangers.
Depends on what you want exactly. Easy and self-hosted are not usually go well together unless you’ve got enough experience.
Easiest way for blog - use a platform. WordPress.com is great and has free tier.
More involved, but still relatively easy - static site generator. I use Hugo myself, there is Jakyll that is popular too. Host it for free on GitHub or GitLab pages.
I would not self-host a public web site for security reasons. But you can run a static site on some cloud service. A personal blog with small audience should be fine on Oracle free tier.
Some stuff is in Joplin, some stuff is in wiki.js. Joplin lacks organization features. Wiki.js stores stuff in database and has problems with search, both are possible to fix, I believe…
Occasionally I remember about problems with this setup, but I’m too lazy to fix or replace it
I used to invent “funny” names, but at some point it became a chore and I also found I’m forgetting some names or spelling when I need it.
Call me boring, but doing enterprise system admin jobs for years I recently started to adopt functional naming convention.
This is what I have now: [location code][OS code][type vm/ct][environment code][workload][index]
So the first production DB linux VM in my primary Los Angeles location will be named LA1LVMPDB1 And my second test Nextcloud container hosted in the same location will be named LA2LCTTNC2.
I still have to invent short names for workload, which is harder for specialized containers, but overall this makes it all more manageable.
Yeah, that’s what I’m using too
No, you can’t
Test driving NextCloud Memories. Looks nice, works inside Nextcloud (no need to set up and maintain one more service).
Main con so far - no mobile app
Mixing RAM is OK. I’ve been running consumer PCs with mixed memory for years.
Better not put different sticks on the same channel, though. Depending on your MB you may need to set frequency manually to 1333, but most likely it will work without that.
This is really cool! Thanks for posting this. I wonder if Jeff is on Fediverse so I could thank him personally - I have no Twitter account anymore.
Because we all know that a sergeant and soldiers can’t even hit a starship from 10 meters. Yes, Stormtroopers, I’m talking about you. What, this is what community again?
