Please text me when you are done! I am very excited to see the results :)

Do yourself a favor and do it now. Maybe then you’ll be able to help others move to Linux who haven’t done so before.

Please see my statement on this matter under @themurphy@lemmy.world’s comment.

You’re correct; the focal point revolves around data ownership. However, you have to ask yourself, do we actually own the data?

Currently, four major hosting companies dominate the fediversum. Instance owners in practice do not have full control over the physical servers where their data is hosted.

Do you own the disks on which the data is hosted? No! The hosting companies retain that ownership and, can wipe the contents with a mere click.

A regular court order is all it takes, and I question whether every instance is backed up? While some may indeed have backups, they might reside on the very same server. Others, although having backups, may execute the process improperly. Additionally, there are those with partial backups, and the list goes on.

While the hosting location may be decentralized, using Cloudflare introduces a level of centralization in the way Internet traffic is managed. Cloudflare acts as a central point through which all incoming traffic is routed before reaching your decentralized server. This centralization is evident in the fact that Cloudflare controls access to the site, providing security measures, CDN services and acting as a proxy server.

Without Cloudflare, hosting can indeed be decentralized, but the inclusion of this proxy service means that a central entity (Cloudflare) plays a key role in handling and directing traffic. This introduces a level of centralization to the overall service, even if the hosting itself remains decentralized.

Plz mention me if anyone finds the title. I need it

This is a good point! I’ll ask her

No no no, nothing like that. He is not asking for anything himself. My mother has sent him a couple of times a few dozen dollars supposedly of her own free will, which he didn’t ask for, and he is said to be very grateful for them. He even sends her proof of purchases of what he buys with that money comparing prices and choosing the cheapest products (because the country he lives in is poor).

That’s because all those boomers don’t use TikTok so it’s easy for them to say that “it’s bad and privacy invading”. However, when you have to accept that the platform you rely on so much is bad, it’s not so easy to say “it’s bad and privacy invading”.

You can probably ignore the idle power consomuption and enable Wake On LAN and turn it on and of over the network. Is that a solution for you?

Okay. Where do you buy the disks?

Software

reject() { accept(); } accept() { sendData(); }

Same 😎

Oh, okay! thanks for the clarification. What are you using for incremental backups?

Ok, why syncthing and not rsync? Also, duplication should not be threated as backup.

what-

What if I would change the useragent?

The system should activate itself if you only replace the disk.

But… if you ever need a license use one of the activation scripts from massgravel on githu… I mean buy a new license on microsoft.com and enjoy your shiny, legally activated operaring system.

…or just install Linux, if your use case allows you to do so

cat is the program that reads the contents of specific file

litter is the file

> means forward the output of the program to the file

/dev/lp0 is Line Printer 0 so just printer
