@lightweight Oh excellent! Glad to have another fellow traveler. The storage costs were what really pushed me over the edge :blobcat_sleepless:

@lightweight I had everything piled into Digital Ocean droplets, probably could've saved money by introducing a dedicated storage solution but it was more complexity than I was willing to deal with 😂

When I'm done with this project my storage will all be down to local machines and off-site backups, with some low wattage cloud servers to act as proxies.

Wow. Self hosting Ghost is delightfully simple, especially with the Docker container. Nice change of pace from the last few applications I set up on my new server :blobcat_glasses:

Now it's just down to setting up Matrix and Pixelfed!

Then I'll have functionally replaced my old server, and can begin winding it down. Looking forward to knocking a couple hundred a month off my hosting bills :blobcat_bongo:

How do you feel about the fact that in the United States people with disabilities can be paid a sub-minimum wage?

Today is the last day to submit a comment to the Federal Register asking for an end to this practice. Right now, people who profit off the back of this exploitation are flooding it with comments.

Allies: please don't miss the opportunity to even the score. It takes less than 5 minutes.

@cwebber @spritely Looking forward to seeing y'all there! I'll be there with the @matrix crew 🥳

Huge thanks to @OpenForumEurope and @EclipseFdn for their leadership on the Cyber Resiliency Act.

We at @matrix have had to be laser focused on the UK's Online Safety Act, so it's a relief that, as we emerge from that and start assessing the CRA's impact to our work, there's already a body of expertise for us to draw on.

Great things are possible when FOSS foundations work together!

One of my favorite things: FOSS founders/BDFLs transferring a project's trademarks over to a communally governed nonprofit.

It's an act of selflessness and visionary leadership that gives a project the opportunity to become a truly public good.

Good on ya, @Gargron 👏🏻
