I can't; I'm out of the loop with VPS providers. I think if I needed one nowadays I'd look at small providers located near me.

I was using Linode for my many web apps and self-hosting projects until fairly recently, but when Akamai rebranded them and raised prices I moved to a Hetzner dedicated host, which worked out cheaper with my workloads. I run everything in LXC containers, all of which join my Tailscale/Headscale tailnet, and all of which get backed up to both my local NAS and to rsync.net (using rclone's crypt module).

I don't know this host but hosts that will spin up single services like this for you are fairly common. Tons of people use them for Mastodon hosting.

I'd consider just using cloud hosting or getting a VPS though, with which you'll be able to do much more.

Ah, the Lily58. I use one too, with Vilebloom keycaps.

I started with it after getting intermittent wrist and knuckle pain. Switching to the split ergo form factor eliminated it entirely, and the Lily turned rapidly into my very favourite board.

That El Reg links breaks this report much better than some other reporting. It projects a tripling of carbon emissions from bit barns by 2030, with 40% of that increase being due to construction and materials fabrication and 60% from their operation.

It's about time. I understand the nuance at play, but it's plainly absurd that Russia can fire Iranian weapons into Ukrainian territory but Ukraine can't fire British weaponry into Russia.

I went through this journey looking for new providers recently after Proton started doing crypto shit. Tuta and Fastmail were the main recommendations, though the former has been accused of being a honeypot and the latter has really awful practices toward workers and unionisation.

I went with Migadu as a no-nonsense solution, and I'm over the moon with it.

As a big fan of decentralisation and federation, I was very tempted to try out Disroot, but I wasn't ready to try it out with my main mailboxes. I'll likely use it for any upcoming toy projects I embark on though.

I'm not sure it's a 'pigs flying' moment. Despite being an ultra-committed conservative, he's been a critic of Trump since the beginning (and other unserious Republicans like Sarah Palin) and voted Democrat in 2016 and 2020 accordingly.

Honestly, fair dues to him. He's from an elder era of more serious politics, and — as incongruent as it may sound when referencing those with a libertarian slant — an injection of that sort of seriousness is exactly what the American right-wing sorely needs. Like with Dick Cheney, I agree with him about virtually nothing — apparently except for the continuation of American democracy that's tragically on the ballot this November.

I wish there were far, far more Republicans willing to act similarly.

I use Jellyfin in a way that sounds like what you want. You run a Jellyfin server wherever your FLACs are, access it via the web, and play things through your browser — or through Finamp on Android, in my case.

She's my favourite of the RWNJs for the sheer degree of entertainment she provided the night she live streamed chaining herself to the doors of Twitter HQ wearing a star of David armband after they banned her.

I wasn't aware she was embedded in Trump's troupe nowadays but that certainly tracks.

I'm boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.

I have opposing opinions

Please do share some opposing opinions rather than just shitting on someone else daring to add their voice to the great chorus of democracy.

I'm sure everyone will have a lot of time to indulge your certainly well-informed and nuanced political opinions.

Agreed. It sure is easy to publicly not be a cunt.
