Yep.. need to see a Github or repo or OpenCollective or something that instils trust. If you’re asking for donations imo, it should be open source so people can see where the funds might be going (eg. Hosting).
Asking for money expecting blind faith is.. kind of rude. If you expect someone to go to the trouble of donating put in some modicum of effort in at least writing a few paragraphs on what it is you’re doing.
I’m just getting Batocera setup on an old kiosk PC.. seems to be able to handle Dreamcast games too. Going to be a busy gaming weekend!
Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s
I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see..
I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.
I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.
Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.
Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)
Thanks! That’s great to hear.
Not related to your initial issue.. but a quick question as it appears you might have already figured out a lot regarding hosting your own instance.
Do you know if you can lock it down so that only you have an account on the instance? I’d like to run my own but I’d want membership locked so I just use the instance to federate content.
Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.
I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc.. but definitely encrypt before upload imo.
Pardon the naivety on my part, but can/will this support kbin?
