gyptazy.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Wow! After we temporary opened the gates for free VPS instances, we got more than 80 new registrations and already shipped more than 50 new, completely free #BSD bases VPS instances.
Thanks to @gyptazy for making this possible!

Three episodes, one week. AI bots that hallucinate VPN requirements, recommend Apache configs on nginx servers, and suggest replacing 128 GB of RAM with a cloud VPS. A field note on the cost of mistaking confidence for competence.
Always beware of #cybersecurity issues with #supplychain hacks. It is not clear if the #hosting service was insecure and who was fully in control of the #servers Normally with proper security this type of #attack should not be too easy to pull off.
Sticking with #opensource software from #signed #linux #repos keeps you safe from these types of #malicious #update and #supplychain attacks.

I hate YAML files https://wolfstack.org #kubernetes #proxmox #servers #hosting #wolfstack #vm
I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.
I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.
I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.
Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.
This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.
This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.
If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.
You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.
Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.
Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.
I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.
