  • What are you using to get it there and back?

    I’m asking because I had been using this for years and only after a catastrophic event, discovered that my “helpful” backup software had turned on versioning which AWS, also helpfully, doesn’t explicitly tell you when you attempt to delete old backup sets, showing no objects but charging you anyway.

    I did recover all my data after a catastrophic event, but it was an expensive experience to put it mildly.






  • What is it that drives your desire to increase the size of the fediverse and what makes you think that sport is something that everyone cares about?

    If you want to have more sports because it interests you, then start a community on an instance that wants it, or failing that start your own instance and put whatever you want on it.

    The beauty of the fediverse experience is that I can choose to engage with or ignore your efforts exactly to the extent of my level of interest, as can everyone else.

    What you appear to have failed to understand is that there is nobody who will do this for you, it’s your responsibility to do the work.

    The “space dominance” you refer to is not real. There’s exactly as much space available as you want, because all of it is virtual.

    We’re not here to make money, we’re here to build a community and the decentralized nature of the fediverse is intended to keep communities small, cohesive and personal, rather than large, disjointed and impersonal.









  • Here’s some questions:

    • What happens when you die?
    • What happens if your house is burgled or catches fire?
    • How do you protect against pe(s)ts making themselves at home in your server?
    • What happens with a power or internet outage?
    • What happens with hardware failure?
    • What happens if you suffer dementia?
    • How are you dealing with AI bots?
    • How are you mitigating hacking attempts, security, authentication and exploits?
    • How are you dealing with data corruption?
    • How do you mitigate against ransomware having entered your systems?

    Note that I’m not picking on you, nor is this list comprehensive or in priority order. I’m trying to determine if you’ve considered these common issues and concerns associated with hosting stuff that has great sentimental value, if not actual value.
