Two very cool #FOSS project which #NLnet is hosting as part of their #NGI vision:

#bewCloud claims to be far more efficient than #nextcloud and #owncloud for memory and processor:

bewcloud.com/

And there is #SelfPrivacy which promotes easy self hosting of different softwares like #jitsi, #nextcloud, #mastodon and so on:

selfprivacy.org/

I wonder how much will a bewCloud instance for a single user cost.

bewcloud.combewCloud is a modern and simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud written in TypeScriptHave your files, news, notes, and photos under your own control.

Ich betreibe derzeit einen eigenen Server, inkl. #Nextcloud. Ich möchte den Server allerdings loswerden. Nun bin ich aber nach dem Lesen dieses Artikels von @kuketzblog ernüchtert über die Verschlüsselungsmöglichkeiten von Nextcloud: kuketz-blog.de/verschluesselun
Es scheint Mittel und Wege zu geben, aber mich stört, dass Kontakte und Kalender nicht verschlüsselt werden. Im Artikel wird deshalb #EteSync empfohlen, aber mir ist die Lebendigkeit des Projekts unklar. Außerdem ist der Installationsguide für @ubernauten, wo ich es alternativ installieren könnte, leider veraltet: lab.uberspace.de/guide_etesync
Für verschlüsselte Kontakte & Kalender scheint es ja noch Tuta und Proton zu geben: privacyguides.org/en/calendar/
Aber für Proton gibt es bei #FDroid nicht die entsprechende App. Jetzt frage ich mich, zu welchem Dienst ich greifen soll oder mit Biegen und Brechen EteSync installieren sollte.

New entry in #curated #creators on tube.inlinestyle.it/ we decided to surface the work of @trom as they have a great vlog on #vanlife

#peertube and the #fediverse have a lot of #technology content, and it's great to be able to surface the gems on other topics too.

I've used Wasabi Cloud for years for some external backups. Just a few things, and at times I went down to zero because I had no data. No billing. Recently, I emptied everything again and waited the required days so the data would no longer be counted. I haven’t had anything there for months, yet I just received another $6.99 bill.

I contacted them and asked why, since I’ve had zero data for months.
The official response: even if you have zero data, you still pay the minimum charge because it’s like a monthly plan - you pay even if you don’t make any calls.

Tomorrow morning I’m deleting the account. This doesn’t seem like a fair business practice.
Let’s go back to using our own drives, for crying out loud! Own Your Data!

Beats of Rage is now playable for free in #cloud #gaming on gaming.inlinestyle.it

We work hard to make accessible new #games based on #opensource software every month. Subscribers also get cloud saves to continue their session everywhere and any time they want.

Come try the #degoogle alternative for everyday services ( #email #video #music #gaming #docs ) and let us know what you think!

Generated a quick plot to see usage trends for Open Source Brain v2 (#OSBv2): an integrated #research platform for #neuroscience that indexes multiple model and data sources (#DANDI, #ModelDB, #Biomodels, #Github) and provides compute resources on the #cloud in "workspaces". It also includes specialist applications: #NWBExplorer for working with data in the NeuroData Without Borders (#NWB) format; #NetPyNE-UI for biophysically detailed #ComputationalModelling and a #JupyterLab environment.

#onpremisesinfrastructure is vastly underrated. What are you going to do when #GoogleWorkspace or #Microsoft365 shut your account down because their AI decides to and you have no recourse. You can’t sue them because you’ve agreed to their terms of service. Oops? 🤷‍♂️

Also, what many don’t know is even if data is stored in the cloud, the customer is still responsible for backing up and archiving their data. The cloud company does some rudimentary disaster recovery but has specific indemnification against data loss. Marketing conveniently glosses over this. 😈

The #cloud cannot be trusted for small businesses. #Selfhosting is the way to go. It’s not hard at all and I am in the midst of writing a book for people with a minimal technical background to get started as easily as possible. Or even for them to have a technical friend help them out.
