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.

@stefano Definitely not meant as critique.
I started with some scripts from the internet (might have been yours, I found them via search-engine) but had issues with log-rotation and signal handling from newsyslog, so I optimized it to suit my needs. Now they handle SIGHUP properly and allow proper log rotation 🙂 Just thought, I share them here, just in case someone else might benefit from it.

@Larvitz Excellent work. Those 'bad' scripts are mine, written in 2022 for a blog post about installing Mastodon on FreeBSD (which was deemed 'difficult' or 'impossible' then). I didn't catch these problems because I run Mastodon in a jail and typically restart the whole jail rather than individual services.

@kotaotan damn you, now I got flashbacks of that «I put on my robe and wizard hat» thing.

@nikkid if your colleague competing in some kind of «understatement of the century» game?
