When your free service (@BoxyBSD) kicks you out of bed on a Saturday morning.

The monitoring just alerted me about a potential abuse at my free hosting project and indeed - much traffic from a single user but luckily legit traffic.

Better safe than sorry.

⚠️ Signups are currently deactivated!

We're now slightly below 1000 free VPS instances!

Within the last few weeks, coming with new locations around the world, we got more and more signups, where people can also test their setups across different geo locations @BoxyBSD.

Unfortunately, this also increases the required support which is really time consuming and only handled by @gyptazy. While everything is fully automated, support is another thing and I need a short break. Hope to open the signups quickly again.

PS: This project is completely free, not even any donation possibilities etc - just imagine a box would only cost 1$.

It's very interesting, as a lay person considering hosting an activity-pub based server and allowing open sign-ups, it felt to me like they were trying to hedge against the fact that once something's published online, especially via a federated publishing network, the publisher doesn't have a legally meaningful (to my mind, but I am not a judge) mechanism to reliably unpublished it from the internet. As I read it, they seemed to be asking the user to agree that all parties understood and accepted this.

I could be wrong, of course, and I'm sure the author of your link would say I am (under their subheading "What about federation?" where they seem to think what I describe is handled implicitly, and that's fine for all parties), but nevertheless it's food for thought for me, in how I might compose/adjust a ToS agreement. Thank you for sharing it.

Our website (alwaysdata.com/) got a fresh new look yesterday, and we're excited to announce several new features (changelog.alwaysdata.com/472/d) along with it.

The most important announcement is probably our €5 excl. tax/month offer, which should meet the vast majority of needs.

A big thank you to dedale.io and @STPo for their support in highlighting our added value!

Andrzej Wąsowski ☑️ 🟥

I am considering hosting my own #nextcloud instance, for starters somewhere in the cloud. Any suggestions for a provider? Ideally, cheap, hacker friendly, a small instance for family use. Ideally I should be able to migrate to an in-house hardware eventually, so the provider should offer access to database dump.

Suggestions? #hosting

Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.

Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.

3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.

Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.

Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control

To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining

I have finished detached my personal domains from Cloudflare, migrating DNS hosting back to the domain registrar.

The Wait Wait Stats Project sites and the domain have also been detached from Cloudflare, DNS hosting migrated to the domain registrar, and now waiting for the subscription to expire.

So far, fronting the two Wait Wait Stats Project web servers with an NGINX caching proxy has met my needs to handling spikes in traffic (as it did during and after last week's Wait Wait taping in Boston, MA).

There are still things I need to tune re: caching duration, rules and what-not.
