Spicy take:
Normal people shouldn't self host.
From an energy use perspective, the users per watt are WAY higher in a data center.
People are already awful at running patches and doing security updates.
OMG are people awful at doing backups.
From an ewaste POV, consumer electronics just don't have a very long lifespan, fail more frequently, are rarely upgradable, and easily broken. Enterprise grade servers in a data center are better.
Hosted services actually have a SOC to monitor what the fuck is going on and investigate unusual things. An individual normal user would never notice their self hosted server being popped for forever, and we already have far too many zombies.
Sure, megacorps aren't trustworthy stewards of key internet services like email either. But telling everyone they need yet another home appliance, but one you're going to have to fuck with several hours per month to keep running.
Dynamic DNS suck balls, IPv4 is running out, hosting shit being a NAT and reverse proxies and shch is its own thing, and lots and lots of people don't have very good home internet links.
Up front cost - yes, I know people "pay" for their social media and email with their privacy and advertising. But that means that saying they need to spend several hundred on a whole new computer and find a place to put it or rent a VPS or ...
Fact of the matter is, some sort of SaaS setup for web services IS the right solution for 97% of users. Scolding people for being abused by unregulated tech companies isn't solving anything. The right solution is to make people become more aware of the intentional and malicious enshittified bullshit techbros are cramming down their throat, and lobby the government to strengthen regulations.

@JessTheUnstill @oblomov I understand the point and agree. But self hosting doesn't necessarily mean "do it yourself", you can pay professional people to prepare and maintain your services. But those are your services, with your own data.

@JessTheUnstill these are very good point.
In an ideal world, where self-hosting would be cheap, portable, easily replicable across devices, and require no specialized knowledge, it might make sense to push for universal adoption, but we don't live in such a world so the compromises are essential.Still, it's also important to remember that efficiency and resilience are opposite to each other, and it would do everyone good if we could develop tech that better approximates said ideal world.

@Fbrzvnrnd ho iniziato a leggere l'articolo di Baricco. Mi sono fermato alla riga "bisogna ammettere che quei ragazzi erano un quarto d’ora davanti a tutti".
Non erano figli miei, ma ecco....penso sia tutto riassunto li il fine degli immensi sacrifici di noi genitori.
Un quarto d'ora avanti per un mondo migliore.

@mpjgregoire I don't have a formal recipe! Here's roughly what I do: cook 1 cup wild rice; leave it a little toothy. Toast 1 cup pecans. Soften 1 diced onion in sage butter. Add 1 cup dried cranberries, pecans, onions to wild rice. Stuff the turkey, and roast as normal.

La Cina rafforza la sua presenza nel settore dei cavi sottomarini
Il Segretario generale Xi Jinping ha ribadito che la costruzione di una nazione marittima forte rappresenta un compito strategico fondamentale per il ringiovanimento della Cina. In questo scenario, le tecnologie ottiche marine avanzate assumono un ruolo chiave, poiché la profondità del progresso scientifico determina lo sviluppo delle risorse oceaniche e delle attività offshore.
Le fibre ottiche sottomarine, che trasportano oltre il 95% delle comunicazioni internazionali, costituiscono l’infrastruttura principale della digitalizzazione globale. A Wuhan, una tra le basi di produzione mondiale di fibre e cavi ottici, diverse aziende hanno sviluppato tecnologie capaci di rafforzare la frontiera digitale marittima della Cina, estendendo connessioni fino alle profondità oceaniche pur trovandosi lontano dal mare.
Il settore dei cavi sottomarini ha una portata internazionale enorme, con 1,4 milioni di chilometri di linee attive che trasportano dati finanziari per migliaia di miliardi di dollari al giorno. Storicamente dominato da Stati Uniti, Francia e Giappone, è diventato negli ultimi anni un campo di competizione tecnologica globale. In risposta alle barriere imposte contro la Cina, le aziende di Wuhan hanno accelerato innovazioni e applicazioni per consolidare la propria presenza.
YOFC, leader mondiale nel settore da nove anni, ha posato il primo cavo sottomarino di prova a sette conduttori al mondo nella Greater Bay Area, introducendo soluzioni capaci di ampliare la capacità senza aumentarne lo spessore. Parallelamente, FiberHome ha raggiunto un traguardo di trasmissione a 254,7 Tb/s su 200 chilometri di fibra standard, grazie all’uso di algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale, rafforzando la competitività della tecnologia cinese in scenari transoceanici.
Anche Accelink Technologies ha segnato progressi significativi, superando per la prima volta i 1.000 chilometri di trasmissione ottica a singolo raggio. Questi sviluppi hanno mostrato il valore strategico dei cavi ottici sottomarini, descritti come l'”aorta” della rete globale. La loro assenza rallenterebbe trasmissioni vitali per settori come energia, comunicazioni quantistiche, telemedicina e logistica internazionale, compromettendo sicurezza e sincronizzazione globale.
Gli investimenti hanno reso FiberHome un punto di riferimento mondiale, con un parco industriale capace di produrre 10.000 chilometri di cavi sottomarini all’anno e una catena tecnologica che copre ogni fase, dai dispositivi a chip fino all’ingegneria navale. Anche YOFC ha rafforzato la propria presenza acquisendo una piattaforma per la produzione di cavi marittimi, consolidando così un ecosistema che integra materiali, componenti e sistemi.
La Wuhan Optics Valley si è affermata come centro di innovazione “atipico” in acque profonde, grazie alla collaborazione tra aziende, università e laboratori di ricerca. Questa sinergia ha permesso di trasformare rapidamente le scoperte tecnologiche in capacità industriali, dando vita a un ecosistema completo che sostiene l’autonomia scientifica e tecnologica cinese e rafforza la leadership nel settore delle comunicazioni marine.

Nel nome di Laika, smisurata preghiera

Si è detto che, se anche un leone potesse parlare, non potremmo capirlo. Si è fatto notare (facezia o meno, forse può importar poco) che da quegli ormai lontani anni ’60 in cui il progetto Grandi Scimmie iniziava, alle grandi...Vedi l'articolo
