The important difference between a paid VPS subscription and a free account with
<GENERIC EVIL BILLIONAIRE>
s online services is how they are financed. With the latter, definitely assume you're the product, specifically your data.
Any VPS provider should have a privacy policy, and as a user you should acquaint yourself with the securities they (claim to) provide. The fact that you pay even a pittance for their service should be an incentive not to monetise or snoop your data.
But yeah, short of an encrypted online backup service, I'd never put "very private data" online at all...
I've used matrix for the better part of a decade, and I get that reference.
That said, while the matrix crew have worked hard on the decryption issues, I'd much rather feel that particular pain on a federated network where I can change servers than be stuck with Signal if/when the single server's policies turn evil.
Yeah, that still seems weird to me. Does it connect the post in any way to the magazine (especially Lemmy communities), or just end up a hashtag if people read from a fedi microblog instance?
Incidentally, FediMeteo uses the existing Open-Meteo API. The use case is just... you can follow your nearest city on Mastodon and get forecasts in your home feed?
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.
That's a lovely anecdote, but also an argument against keeping up with weather prognoses — if you've already decided your preferred outcome based on your plans and desires for the next day 🙂
I tried Yunohost once, and everything worked as long as I stuck to the officially supported apps. The community forum was supportive within reason, and would respond with advice fairly quickly. When I reported an error with an unofficial app, however, I was instantly told off that I shouldn't expect any help.
Now, having used and admined my Linux desktop systems for a decade (without claiming to be an actual sysadmin), I nosed around the system a bit and to my eyes it seemed a right mess of app and user folders, permissions and containers. Surely, a combination of my limited understanding of server apps and a system that is made primarily for GUI use to make administration easier for beginners.
What I mean to say is, if you already run a set of working docker containers, you're probably more advanced than the intended Yunohost user. I was that half ounce more literate that I became frustrated with the GUI-centric setup, and imperial pounds too illiterate to actually muck around in the command line.
Look at it this way, Yunohost offers a fraction of the apps available on Docker, and not all of them are maintained. They do offer a graphic admin interface and out-of-the-box working setups (or did five years ago when I tried it).
