Lucy Powell seemingly ready to hand it to the Greens in a magnanimous moment

  • 5-year-old: "What is that?" (pointing to my computer screen)

    Me: "My website" (technically the homepage of my blog - with a big feature image about the Fediverse)

    5-year-old: "It's beautiful"

    And now excuse me while I recover from the shock. Do you know how rare are compliments by a 5-year-old? Especially concerning things that are not toys or arts and crafts?

    Planning to spend the rest of the day on cloud 9 ☁️ 😆

  • @aeva @eleanor

    me who was an idiot - should just have said "object storage", s3 is what amazon call their object storage provider.

  • @aeva 1 TB seems to be 3.20 EUR per month: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

    There are probably similar offers from other companies as well, because offsite backups at a different provider are a common requirement for professional deployments.

    OVH also has something, but their website is confusing, rather than a base price they charge per GB and month.

  • @aeva after a lot of looking my answer to this was crickets

    but I have two not-quite-adequate-but-still-worth-mentioning solutions

    there's several nextcloud vendors that have pretty decent prices, I rent my stuff from hetzner, about $5/month for 1TB of storage. if you don't know nextcloud, think "open source dropbox"

    but for my projects, what I settled on is a private forgejo instance. I have a little home cluster with 2TB in RAID1, and offsite backups at two different locations...

    and the only reason I can justify the maintenance cost of setting up and doing all this is because my particular brand of autism inexplicably classifies all this work into "leisure activities"...

    but yeah, if you happen to find a way to self host something like this, I can tell you it's going to be very snappy. if you've ever thought: "git doesn't work with binary assets files for games", that's just because you didn't have a full instance to yourself

  • @aeva yeah god

    also like. my history isn't in reality linear, right? like I'll try something and then I look at it and it's shit. so I go back a revision or two and start again and next time I save I probably save with whatever number is next up

    the linear history doesn't really reflect that

  • @finnmyrstad @pluralistic Dette er fantastisk! Gratulerer med helt nydelig video! Godt å se at forbrukerrådet er på ballen! Denne kommer jeg til å spre for alt det er verdt.

  • @aeva Backblaze, it's cheap as hell, you can encrypt your storage and the first 10gb is free

    I have 100GB sitting in it and it costs me $1 a month inc. tax

  • The video itself is pretty shitty. How it "informs" about enshittification without even using the c-word (capitalism) makes me wonder: is this a conscious choice (if so: what's the rationale behind this choice?) or a lack of consciousness?

    The Green Party of England and Wales has today announced that its membership has surged past 100,000 members, the highest in the Party’s history. This marks over a 45% increase since Zack Polanski was elected Leader of the party last month. The news comes as the recent polling shows Greens on 15% nationally, their highest-ever figure, and just two points behind both Labour and the Conservatives. The announcement comes just one week after the Greens announced they had a bigger membership than the Liberal Democrats. Since then, it has been shown that the Liberal Democrats’ membership is actually just 60,000, and the Greens have grown an additional 17,000 in a week. Green Party Leader Zack Polanski said: More than 100,000 people have now joined the Green movement, that’s 100,000 people who believe politics can be honest, fair and hopeful again. When I was elected Leader last month, I said that we’re not here to be disappointed with Labour but that we’re here to replace them. I was serious. Because while Labour talks about change, people can see in their weekly shop, their utility bills and crumbling services, Labour are offering more of the same. The Greens are the only real opposition left in British politics. Standing up for fair taxes, a liveable planet, and a future where compassion and courage matter more than corporate interests. People are understandably disillusioned, but we are here to make hope normal again. Under Polanski’s leadership, the Party has seen a wave of new members, driven, in part, by growing frustration with the other parties’ failure to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, the climate emergency, and the collapse in trust in politics. The record-breaking membership figures follow the Greens’ recent electoral success in local and parliamentary elections, alongside growing national visibility from high-profile media appearances, including Polanski’s BBC Question Time performance, which sparked widespread praise online. Polanski added: This milestone shows that people are ready for something new. The old two-party system is broken. The Green Party is growing because we speak to the real challenges of this moment. Because we still believe that politics can be a force for good. The message is simple: if you want courage, integrity and hope, come join us. The Green Party is now preparing for major autumn campaigns focused on fair taxation, and the cost-of-living crisis, as Labour scramble to present another austerity budget. #ukpol #GreenParty

    Police to get broader powers to restrict repeated protestsThis article is infuriating but worth reading. Look at how #PalestineAction protests and fhe Manchester Synagogue attack are deliberately muddled together here, as a narrative and in policy. This is dirty work - don’t fall for this! This narrative here is so wrong. Yet, as ever, it is so much easier to put it out there than to dismantle it and show why it’s wrong, what is being done here.#UKPolitics #Gazahttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24rmdngrrjo

    Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'This is the guy who donated £257m to Tony Blair's institute and wants to use all our UK data to train Oracle's AI. Digital ID cards are a step.on the way.#UKPolitics #Oracle #TBIhttps://fortune.com/2024/09/17/oracle-larry-ellison-surveillance-state-police-ai/
