Yes, go with the MIC, actual fascist supporting megacorp to stick it DO

Honest to God, I’m not a tin foil hat kinda guy, but I can’t wait to read the papers on the strategies around centralizing technically adept ‘activists’ (WH definition lol) onto cooperative platforms by hugely exaggerating tiny shit like this in 40 years. This is even more poorly sighted than the Mullvad stances from a few weeks ago.

How many killings did digital ocean orchestrated with AI?

Yeah, this is the first I’ve heard of it

Cloudflare makes you upload ID?

Ansible against which hypervisor?

Your dialect of English is not the only one

I am not your lawyer and this is not legal advice for you or anyone who reads this.

Nextcloud encrypts data e2e, so your point there is misguided and not really relevant. You can’t be compelled to provide a password/decryption key as long as it doesn’t exist as physical evidence. This is why lawyers advise clients to use a PIN instead of face ID or fingerprints; biometrics, like all physical evidence, can be subpoenad.

Self hosting services like matrix or email is a bad idea if you don’t really understand what you’re doing, like many other things. If you keep you stuff updated and are intelligent in how you structure your network there’s not really anymore risk here than paying someone else to host it. If you keep you stack simple and follow best practices, code and configurations written by industry experts do most of the heavy lifting.

Eh fair enough

No

I’ve gone down this path.

You want an archer c7 with OpenWRT. I got one for 5 dollars on marketplace, flashing it took all of 2 minutes, and it kicks ass.

In the USA, most power bills are the tenants’ responsibility. In the USA, virtually all internet connections are the tenants’ responsibility.

The locality hosting the services could also pass a law requiring the tenants to either bear responsibilities for, or be included in, all utility related billing.

A lot of arguments in this thread seem to be ignoring this as a solution to the legitimate problems they’re raising.
