- Comment on What would tools/services would you recommend for hosting without self hosting? 3 weeks ago:
I completely forgot about the Linux Upskill Challenge! I should have mentioned I’ve been running Linux as my desktop operating system for almost 3 years, and I’ve been tinkering with it quite a lot throughout so I’m quite familiar and very comfortable with the command line. I shoukd go through the Linux upskill challenge so I can fill in any knowledge gaps though. Thanks for reminding me!

If only. I’m a student living in student accommodation. I can’t set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn’t feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I’ll be forced to pay them.

What’s a safe place to buy storage online? I’ve seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

Are cheap
Yeah, right. I know they’re cheaper than they were but they can’t be that cheap.

I stand corrected.

I’ve just realized there’s an animated series on Youtube, that I’ve had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I’m talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn’t bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that’s worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don’t have enough space, do I)

Fair point. But even if they were legit in any way, I’m already positioned not to trust them.

I really like the idea of user-friendly selfhosting (which is essentially what this company is offering, I mean hell, I’ve had similar business ideas floating around in my head too) BUT any company that has:
-
an in-the-know marketing team
-
Any employees that are somewhat technical enough (which should be guaranteed for a company with this sort of product
-
NOT a scam
Would know what a HUGE risk reputation-wise it is to showcase crypto-related selfhosting on the FRONT page. It’s like a “build-a-red-flag” or “destroy-our-reputation” speedrun. Even IF you want to offer this, anyone in-the-know with at least 3 braincells would bury this deep in the page and make it difficult to find (if they were well-intentioned in the first place) because at this point anything crypto, especially being the main offering, is a huge red flag.
If instead, they offered a nextcloud instance, for example, or Pihole as an adblocker, or some other good and common services, maybe a selfhosted VPN (or maybe not, because of the stupid and misleading ads of VPN companies), they would be seen as 100% more legit.

- Comment on Vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters in the UK show discrepant environmental impacts 1 year ago:
Not to sound rude, but this feels like a waste of time for me. Emissions created by meat consumption are only a small percentage of the emissions released from a person that are unrelated to eating such as driving, for example. And if the lockdowns during the pandemic showed something, it was that there was no significant change in emissions worldwide, the reason being that a vast, vast majority of carbon or other greenhouse gas emissions come from large and often multinational corporations, so stop bothering with a minor part within a minor part of where global emissions come from and focus on the big picture! I think getting rid of 20% of global emissions is worth a lot more than getting rid of 0.02%, don’t you think?

It’s not fully open source, but it’s so good, it’s full of features, incredibly customisable, it really is a power user browser.
