Trump’s Aggression Sours #Europe on #US Cloud Giants
Companies in #EU are starting to look for ways to ditch #Amazon, #Google, and #Microsoft cloud services amid fears of rising #security risks from US. But cutting ties won’t be easy.
Organizations appear to be reconsidering their use of these companies’ cloud services—including #servers, storage, and #databases—citing uncertainties around #privacy and data access fears under Trump administration.

@staff The above post: important for all who experience #spam #scam #bot attacks or #Nicole #fedichick 
and #admin #moderators #moderation of #Mastodon #instances #servers
@lindenshieldarts Here you can search #servers by character limits and language: https://mastodon.help/instances/en You can even try your topics in the 2nd field ("contain).
What’s your recommended #filesystem for #linux desktops and Linux #servers ?
Where is the backup? 
#servers #it #sysadmin #backup #computers #computing #itworks
#infosec
I can't deal with this weirdly artificial 500 character limit any more, so sadly, I am going to have to move instances.
Recommendations for a new server, and what should I watch out for doing the move over?
I'm just going to put here Pattrick Kennedy thougths from ServeTheHome about the #BoltGraphics Zeus:
The big elephant in the room is NVIDIA and the CUDA ecosystem. That's is going to be really difficult to break without something that disrupts the market.
@snow Maybe consider a provider that allows you to do #Blackholing?
#Contabo for example allows to book a dedicaded, managed #pfSense #Firewall woth their #dedicaded #Servers so you can just block entire ASNs aggressively.
A cheap-ass company I worked for (7 1/2 years) canned me 3 times because they didn't want to pay a reduced market rate. These shitheads treated me as an employee. But I was a contractor, stiffed for all of my overtime. This is what working in tech in Los Angeles is like.
One time, they hired a Russian to replace me.
Understand, I made P/SOS run in Linux, including all of the system calls, in order to "make the Net/ARM code run in Linux without modification."
"Well, tell me how to do this."
"How to do what?"
"This. What you did."
"You have got to be kidding me. You took my job and you expect me to tell you how to do it? Go to hell."
My manager was snickering (he had nothing to do with this).
A few weeks later, they hired me back. Even called me "the greatest programmer I've ever met," but that was my manager, who snickered.
Do what Paul suggests. Don't do the Russians' work for them.
And, when the script kiddies finish fucking all of our governmental systems up, give me a call. Reasonable rates for remote work. Unreasonable rates if I have to set foot in any building the Musk Rats took over. And I will be covered in PPE. I don't want to contract whatever it is that is eating Elon's brain.
Chip designer Arm has historically licensed its designs to other companies without manufacturing any chips itself. But that could soon change: Arm reportedly plans to launch a server chip for Meta this year, putting it in direct competition with licensees. https://buff.ly/4gFacs3? #Arm #chips #servers #meta
#Arm to launch its own chip in move that could upend #semiconductor industry
Arm plans to launch its own chip this year after securing Meta as one of its first customers, in a radical change to the #SoftBank-owned group’s business model of licensing to likes of Apple and Nvidia.
Arm’s chip is expected to be a #CPU for #servers in large #datacentres and is built on a base that can then be customised for clients including Meta, manufactured by #TSMC

New #Botnet on the loose?
A surge of accounts from gtmastodon.online / mastodon.gtmastodon.online has emerged, all seemingly following a limited number of #MastodonSocial users.
Is this a coordinated effort? If so, what is the goal? 
@small-tech/https version 5.3.0 released
• Uses Auto Encrypt 4.1.1 (removes OCSP stapling support because Let]s Encrypt has removed OCSP support).
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/https
This module is a drop in replacement for Node HTTPS module that automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal both at localhost (via Auto Encrypt Localhost¹) and at hostname (via Auto Encrypt with Let’s Encrypt certificates²).
So, this is how you create a HTTPS server in Node.js that uses this module and automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal for you both at localhost (during development) and at hostname (during production):
```js
import https from '@small-tech/https'
const server = https.createServer((request, response) => {
response.end('Hello, world!')
})
server.listen(443, () => {
console.log(' 
Server running at https://localhost.')
})
```
(Yes, that’s it! I wrote a metric shit-tonne of meticulously-tested code so you don’t have to.) :)
Note that the localhost certificate support via Auto Encrypt Localhost is 100% JavaScript and does NOT rely on an external binary like mkcert or certutil.
Needless to say, Kitten³ uses this module under the hood and it’s a big part of why Domain⁴ can deploy servers so easily that don’t require any day-to-day maintenance.
In case you’re wondering why I’m spending so much time releasing all these modules, it’s because I believe in sharing every brick of the house I’m building so others can easily build different houses if they want to. I’m not saying that what I’m building with Kitten, Domain, and Place⁵ will be the end all be all of the Small Web⁶ (the peer-to-peer web). And I want others to be able to experiment by building their own tools without having to go through the grueling development process I’ve had to in the past six years to build basic infrastructure.
Enjoy!

Auto Encrypt version 4.1.1 released
Fixed:
• User agent string now includes the correct Auto Encrypt version (and the name fragment “auto-encrypt” instead of “acme”).
• Tests now send `Connection: close` header so they’re not tripped up by the default `keep-alive` introduced in Node 19.
Auto Encrypt version 4.1.0 released
• Removes OCSP stapling, as Let’s Encrypt is removing OCSP support.
If you’re already using Auto Encrypt upgrade before May or your certificate renewals will start to fail. Upgrade now if you want to get certificates for new domains as new certificate requests are already failing.
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt#readme
Auto Encrypt automatically provisions and renews Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates on Node.js https servers (including Kitten¹, Polka, Express.js, etc.)
Regular Node.js HTTPS server (without Let’s Encrypt certificates):
```js
import https from 'node:https'
const server = https.createServer(…)
```
Auto Encrypt https server with automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates:
```js
import AutoEncrypt from '@small-tech/auto-encrypt'
const server = AutoEncrypt.https.createServer(…)
```
(Certificates are provisioned on first hit and automatically renewed 30 days before expiry.)
So, as some of y'all know, I have a couple beefy #servers kicking around. I want to put them to good use.
I have a #resistance project in mind for one box - a massive archive for #science, #websites, #software, #art and whatever else is under immediate threat, as well as a #poisonWell for #ai. I'm already mirroring #wikipedia and hosting some other #data repos. I'm looking into #ArchiveTeamWarrior (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior).
I have 56 cores. I have 144GB of RAM. I have a 1.5GB fibre link -all I need is storage.
If you can spare it, please consider donating to my hard drive fund, for 2x 12TB SAS drives within #canada. Alternatively, if you have some mass storage devices (>8TB) you could #donate, get in contact!
This is a crucial time for the #internet. It's up to people like us to preserve and maintain what too many of us take for granted.
#kofi: https://ko-fi.com/essboyer
Goal: $120 / $1100
Please boost!
@cwebber personally, I think it's most important to have #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider, #OpenStandards that allow for #SelfHosting and a thriving ecosystem.
Plus it allows for #SelfCustody of all the keys!
I went to Calm Coding at @varia and it was very cool! We listened to #cumbia, ate cookies and talked about #servers, #microblogging, #sftp, #texteditors, #obsidian, #emacs, #vim, #bash, #zotero, #mastodon, #bluesky, #wikimedia, #hibiscus, #markdown, #orgmode, #hugo, #knitting, #happenings, #websites, #rent and #bread. Admittedly there was some coding as well.
I felt very welcome and I think it's pretty dope that I already met real peoples through Mastodon! 8-)
Ty @bene & @ccl for organizing!
