ack. it just seems like so much control is retained by those big relays/entities.

the single benefit to end users (that end users are aware of) is the data portability… but if its not portable out of the box, ie, no domain name required, those people are gunna freak.

whole endeavor (blueksy using AT) smells like suuuuuunk cost fallacy

i just hate youtube

he whines as he broadcasts from ad-riddled youtube

fair points, but i still posit that its a waste of time to attempt to regulate what can be viewed anonymously.

personally, i could not possibly care less about any of my data being ingested by ‘ai’. not a battle i care to fight, or even find worthy of fighting.

the fact that google has to pay for the data proves the walled garden you claim is public.

the fediverse is public, by default. it publicly distributes information to other publicly accessible servers… by default.

its public information on publicly accessible servers that are opt-out by default. publicly.

im baffled how people can have some expectation of privacy in such a clearly defined public space.

it really sounds like you really want a walled garden so you can control your… .whatever. the fediverse is public by nature, so discussing how you can control public information is kinda… weird.

yes!

so the way this works is, you only pay for the lift from your EC2 instance to the s3 bucket, then cloudfront serves the bucket directly to public, which is far cheaper than EC2-> public

i dont think ive even triggered the non-free tier of cloudfront yet.

o0o0 this reminds me of a book. koontz maybe? people are altered by a genetic computer virus. it modifies people to interface a little too directly to their pcs somewhat grotesquely…

its kinda the only thing AT has going for it, right?

honestly, Any. i used reddit 15+ years and finally abandoned ship last year. i want to help others.

If i could choose a sub it would be one of the meme-based, or otherwise comedically driven… i am advertising my instance as a nonsense-aggregator.

ive been attempting a scalable, solid instance for this reason. i would like to draw an entire sub out.

i lack the communication skills needed to convince anyone of anything though… and reddit seems openly hostile to ‘reddit alternatives’

yep

you cant give what you dont have. i hope their log rotation is tight.

information is risk, so i delete any information as soon as its no longer needed including logs > 36 hours

saves me a ton on storage costs. the bucketing for the cdn is orders of magnitude cheaper to store/deliver than from the web server itself. this would be on amazon hosting.

microblog. if you do any serious following lemmy is… not the right toool.

im looking for testers if you want to give mine mbin a shot https://moist.catsweat.com

im an oldschool sysadmin, so it pains me to see ernest so … uncommunicative.

all the value is gone, its not worth it anymore anyway

i had all kinds of problems until i removed the vpn from the client. i setup a vpn container, and push all my private traffic over that.

setup a docker OpenVPN client like gluetun, connect to proton, set your local computer to use the container as gateway/dns

its not going to be point and clicky, and you should prolly get used to that for advanced stuff.

i dont see a !shitpost@lemmy.ca

i think that means you need to create it

it would be nice to have everything federate everywhere, but small instances just dont have the resources. its untenable for the small scale.
