@terminaltilt
Honestly, I really like cloud computing and cloud storage.
Since we’re almost always connected to the internet, it’s an incredibly useful solution.I'd be happy to pay a subscription fee if:
1) my data is properly encrypted
2) my data stays on a European server
3) my money doesn't go to a dictatorship country (such as where Bezos lives)
4) the system I'm using is FOSS@LorenzoBonomelli @terminaltilt 🤣️ I'mma call you Mark

@terminaltilt considering I can get work done & have fun with any of fifty different sbcs (pi & its competitors, arduino, esp32) this isn’t a dire risk.
@cascheranno @terminaltilt …for you, maybe. Not everybody is as computer literate.

Well, I'm not an IT expert, so I'm not sure I got what you said to me 😅
Isn’t data encryption on servers enough to keep my files reasonably safe from everyone, including the hosting company?
If the system were FOSS, could a law force the provider to insert a decryption backdoor without the user knowing?
In short terms: is on-device scanning for such systems technologically feasible?
@LorenzoBonomelli @terminaltilt Politicians in several countries have been trying to pass laws to force companies to put backdoors in encryption. Last year the UK hit Apple with a gag order and an order to remove Advanced Data Protection in the UK. The EU is constantly fighting with chat control. I think the chat control one is trying to force it at the OS level, which would be nearly impossible to enforce for everyone if the users still control the hardware. If we all move to hosted PCs, I can’t imagine privacy will be possible for too long.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.
You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.
AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.
Reject this future.
Keep your hardware local.
Run #Linux.
Own your data.
The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

@filobus @terminaltilt What other options are there? Oracle? Microsoft? If you had to use the cloud, where do you go to avoid the big guns and trump buddies?
@NormanDunbar @filobus @terminaltilt Various vendor in Europe are working on setting up their own cloud systems. Personally, I would trust a German cloud service much more than any US company. I already have a tuta.com email address.
(Rather ironic.)

@c_merriweather @NormanDunbar @terminaltilt yes, gafam aren't the only, there are many providers
It depends on your requirements, but they are in a nation that is in conflict with EU and it will be more and more
And they are locking an ai into every product, with no privacy, they could do industrial espionage, block or tear down their service under order of their authorities
Their is no more a reliable service

@c_merriweather @NormanDunbar @terminaltilt the only thing, I've read that Tuta uses Amazon for dns (I've not looked into it any further, so I don't know if it's true o it it was true but no more o whatever)

@wild1145@mastodonapp.uk that's completely fair. I can certainly understand the risk in suggesting an instance whose uptime and longevity you cannot guarantee.
FWIW I am a developer working on ActivityPub integration in NodeBB, a forum software. I am active in AP development circles and am committed to ensuring the properties I host stick around. The differentiator with us is that you can get more of that medicine-focused feel due to our focus on local categories/feeds, while maintaining the global fediverse connection. 🙂

@andre123 penso di aver trovato il tuo "kit" su amazon. Hai dovuto saldare i pin (sono sicuro non sia il nome giusto...) tra scheda e schermo? @snow

@julian 100%, we've provided some links in our e-mail to resources for migrating in general, there's nothing we can do obviously to push accounts out to other instances and all we've done is stood up fedimedi.com because we wanted to be able to let folks move their posts (And Mastodon doesn't currently have a way to make that work). I've pointed folks to our other instances because obviously I know they're sticking around for a while where we're maintaining them.

Hi @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk, can we discuss having postcall.pub in the loop to serve as a landing zone for people leaving med-mastodon?
NodeBB Inc. (through me) is funding and maintaining this instance. It was built out specifically for the needs of that community when the site was first at risk of disconnection.
It result sucks that you are not able to get the domain sorted out. I empathize fully!

@wild1145@mastodonapp.uk @wild1145@universeodon.com Thanks Ryan
I’ve tagged him in a post on BlueSky in the hope he will connect with you.
I really don’t want to migrate.
Appreciate you keeping things going for March so I can put off the pain just a little longer :).
