Nacho<p>Recordatorio periódico de nunca usar una <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a> para finalidades medianamente serias porque las SD las carga el diablo. Acabo de perder mi <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nextcloud</span></a> por un pete catastrófico de la tarjeta. Afortunadamente los datos están en un SSD aparte así que simplemente tendré que llevarle ese disco a un ordenador en condiciones y volver a montar un Nextcloud. Entre la subida de precios de las raspi, la bajada de los N100 con sus consumos ridículos y la poca fiabilidad de la SD cada vez tiene menos sentido usar las Raspberry para <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>

Jos Poortvliet<p>Exactly that. There are some serious additional risks with cross-border services. If your business relies on them to get everything done, it's perhaps time to do a renewed risk assessment. Promises and past performance mean little these days. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/digitalsovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digitalsovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resilience</span></a></p>

Dr Pen<p>Ppl of Mastodon. Please help educate the normies about independent, small tech and self hosting. Not only fancy stuff like docker/VS etc and home servers, but cheap shared webspace online, small CMS, wikis, favourite federated or OS apps, (mine are Masto, Lemmy, Grav, Jekyll, Ghost and others). Introduce them to what is actually out here. Try not to expect total purity!
