The thing that gets me about #selfhosting web services is that you will never be able to #selfhost your TLD domain. You will never be free of big tech on the clear open Internet; we baked it into DNS, the lowest layer of the protocol. So unless you're self-hosting an #Onion, or #IPFS site I don't see the point in avoiding #cloud providers.

It's like worrying about geolocation tracking while carrying a cellphone.

I had a (years) old #serverless framework app deployed that I either wanted to merely update the Lambda runtime, or delete the stack entirely. I both of those actions just now but the CLI wouldn't let me do either without creating an account on their system.

To .... remove an app...

I'm manually deleting the resources and lamenting the death of yet another developer tool that I trusted to not be evil. I liked them originally, but they've lost their way.

Truth. We are probably not serious about taking back our digital sovereignty at the moment. You know how it is. Bureaucracies gonna' bureaucrate. I.E.: find the lowest bidder, or someone who takes them out to dinner, or someone who is willing to train their staff on proprietary systems. Or all three. If I see anyone trying to steer the ship toward the right direction I will point them in the direction of Hubert's manifesto.

My money, for where that leadership comes from if & when we see it, is on #Norway or #Finland, but I'm just guessing.

Now for sale: Failure as a Service.

For 10 cents per minute, AWS will you charge you to break the infrastructure you are renting from them (while also charging you for renting it).

docs.aws.amazon.com/fis/latest

This method of success-through-failure was pioneered by Netflix which built a "chaos monkey" to randomly break 10% of their infra at any time. This forced Netflix to design everything to be redundant and self-healing.

Go forth and fail like no others dare fail!

In this video, we walk through the basics of using AWS and Terraform to quickly deploy systems—including FreeBSD, in a scalable, test-friendly environment.

What you'll need:

- An active AWS account
- Terraform installed (Homebrew works well on Mac)
- Your AWS credentials
- This is a great starting point for trying out FreeBSD in the cloud.

God damn this ACK controller is fucking broken.

It grabs a list of all endpoint services - just any of them, no need to filter or match on anything. What's that? You provided a unique primary key? Bwahahaha

Then it takes any fields off the first one listed as canon. No diffs, no looking at all the options, just "does this have not-nil? take it".

Then it blats anything on your resource with those values, and calls it done. You literally cannot have more than one endpoint service per AWS region it's so broken.

Oh and it's broken for adopting existing AWS resources too.

Weh.

I have had that happen with Lutron devices that use #AWS. There is no good reason for a light switch to be phoning home every 30 seconds. So I blocked it and voila’, the switches went offline. I5 turns out Amazon Web Services hosts a service for manufacturers that essentially vacuums up your home #IoT data so they can use it to train #AI. AFIK, only Lutron caseta wall switches put this connection in the actual control loop.
