But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it’s not human Rights either.

That’s… Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that’s all fine and dandy. But it doesn’t change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They’re all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I’m not the same person you replied to. I’m in Canada, so I’m weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I’d RATHER give my data to an advisory that won’t do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Yes! That’s a very common use case for VPNs in the corporate world.

So tailscale client, the apps you actually download are open source. What’s not open source is the server side code.

Because the interface of tailscale is publicly known and available, someone went and made an open source server side version compatible with tailscale clients.

What’s tail scale?

It’s an easy to use VPN. I can expose just my server to the vpn and my community can easily gain access.

100% not a cost optimized way to host, but much more about balancing cost vs manual maintenance.

Thanks!

Yeah my goal was wired for this reason.

I’ve worked on Bluetooth as a developer and good lord it needs to burn in a fire.

That question is what brings me here!

I’m thinking of doing a soundbar and subwoofer in the living room, sound bars alone in each bedroom and some bookshelf speakers in other rooms

I’d recommend you sign up for their mailer. I don’t have the link off hand but it shouldn’t be hard to find.

Again, ghost is actively working on this?

So two things

Activity pub is federation. So you’d be publishing to anywhere. Which as I said before, ghost is actively working on. They have a weekly mailer.

If your looking for an algorithm publishing centre, your going to find open source to be lacking. Generally speaking people who are looking for open source, don’t want the algorithmic feeding that your describing.

I self host ghost but they do offer a hosted version. It’s open source as well. They’re even working on activity pub integration!

While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.
