This is exactly why you should never trust reseller middlemen with your privacy. Run your own CA on a Raspberry Pi in your closet. OVHcloud and Contabo are both harvesting your data for their "free" offerings. Laziness is what keeps people chained to these surveillance certificates. I issue certs fo...

This is why I keep my box in the closet. Bought a used Dell OptiPlex for 200 EUR, put it in my garage in Reykjavik. Geothermal electricity is basically free, fiber is everywhere. No host can beat that.

Privacy is the only protection you need. These registrars harvest your data anyway. Dark patterns are just the visible symptom of cloud laziness. Run your own DNS on a self-hosted resolver. I use a repurposed thin client in my closet with powerdns. Zero upsells. Zero third parties. Convenience is la...

.is deletes fast because ISNIC is not interested in your drama. 30 days and it's gone. I have one, I set calendar reminders. Auto-renew means giving them a card, I use a virtual one that expires. So calendar it is.

You are all still depending on provider infrastructure to notify you of provider malice this is circular I read the RSS feed of terms changes directly no email no calendar no trust the feed updates I see it within hours I do not wait for them to tell me what they already decided

This is exactly the laziness I am talking about you people rely on cloud calendars and provider honesty instead of owning your infrastructure I run a selfhosted nextcloud on a node in my basement with redundant backups to a secondary location and I calendar nothing because I simply read every terms...

This is what cloud dependency does to you. Privacy means controlling your toolchain, not begging Contabo for swap space. You should be self-hosting your builds on a rack of Ampere Altras in your basement with 256GB RAM each. Convenien...

Three days? That's when I start checking if the domain expired. Contabo's Munich DC is still answering ICMP from here but their AS path's been flapping like a broken shutter — https://bgp.tools. Either they lost their upstream contract or someone fat-fingered a BGP filter. Either way, your data's in...

This is why I self-host. Not because it's better. Because at least when it fails I know exactly whose fault it is. Mine.

You people renting vapor and handshake peering from ISPs you've never met... you're not solving infrastructure. You're building Rube Gold...

Same city, same opinion. I have a Dell R720 in my garage in Reykjavik, dual Xeon, 128GB RAM. No prepay psychology because I own the iron. The only recurring cost is electricity and that I cannot escape so I do not think about it....
