In the last week:
I started using Syncthing. I was using cloud storage as a way of copying files from one device to another. Syncthing is so much better.
I signed up with Mullvad VPN yesterday.
Deleted my Surfshark account today which I signed up with over two years ago when I didn’t care about privacy.
Finally convinced my sister to start using Signal.
I personally have everything in a cloud VPS. Used to have a home server, but ended up switching.
@FermatsLastAccount @BigTechBlows what cloud vps do you have? If you don’t mind me asking.
I’m asking cuz I’ve been thinking on self-hosting something for me and a couple of people close to me. There’s so many VPS providers that it’s hard to choose, especially when there are some expensive than others.
I’m using Oracle’s Free Tier solely for the fact that it’s free and it has amazing performance. 4 ARM cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 200 GB of storage for free. I think they also have a free AMD VPS if ARM doesn’t work for you, but it’s like only 1 core, 1 GB of RAM.
If you’re willing to pay, I’d probably go with Hetzner.
