do VMs with SDF
<midfavila>
:3c
<midfavila>
i compared it to all the big name VPS providers and unless you don't intend to take advantage of other system services SDF is very competitive
<midfavila>
plus it's a non-profit so you don't have to deal with any of the shittiness that for-profit services usually entail
<kris_>
midfavila i bet they're super overpriced though
<kris_>
most "small" providers are
<kris_>
kyun.host also exists but i dont trust them very much
<kris_>
albeit kyun.host lets you pay in monero and they just give you an account hash, similar to mullvad, so if you handle yourself correctly you basically get an "anonymous vps"
<midfavila>
you can pay SDF in cash
<midfavila>
so anonymous transactions aren't a huge concern
<midfavila>
i think SDF starts at like 5-10 a month
<midfavila>
i will say that if you don't think you would benefit from MetaARPA then it's not necessarily worth it
<kris_>
they don't tell you what kind of processing power you're getting
<midfavila>
since i think that's 42$ a year after the latest referendum
<midfavila>
it's not a ton
<midfavila>
single core machine
<kris_>
"$7/mo"
<kris_>
for a gig of ram and 20gb of storage
* midfavila
bigshrugs
<kris_>
so basically, borderline useless
<kris_>
unfortunately
<midfavila>
sounds perfectly useful to me
<kris_>
i host kind of a good amount of stuff on my vps
<kris_>
im paying like 6 euros per month for a 4 core ampere arm vps with 8gb of ram and 80gb of ssd
<midfavila>
ye fair enough then
<kris_>
the main issue i have is that hetzner will comply with law enforcement even without a warrant apparently
<kris_>
i'm not going to tell you who told me that, but i have it on *very* good authority that's the case
<kris_>
which is kind of wild considering hetzner is where i host my irc bouncer
<kris_>
i'm considering moving it in-house and proxying through hetzner instead
<kris_>
given the connection to liberachat should be encrypted
op_4 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<midfavila>
im at the point where if i were to do something funky i would involve computers as little as possible in the process
<midfavila>
you won't beat a state actor
<midfavila>
lol
op_4 has joined #kisslinux
<kris_>
you absolutely *can*
<kris_>
you just also have to be incredibly conscious of opsec the entire time
<midfavila>
tens if not hundreds of turbo autists getting paid to find the tiniest crack in everything you do?
<midfavila>
the odds aren't great
<kris_>
it just depends on what it is
<midfavila>
like sure in theory you can beat the odds
<midfavila>
but in practice?
<kris_>
tons of "dark web" market places do completely fine
<kris_>
multiple of them have ran their life cycle and closed down with their profits and moved on
<midfavila>
i have a feeling that's because most of them aren't a serious problem
<midfavila>
compared to other things the state could spend its resources on
<kris_>
potentially
<kris_>
if i were doing anything that high profile though it'd be over i2p
<kris_>
not tor
<kris_>
kind of funny that im having a similar discussion in another chat right now, a few times in the past couple weeks ive needed some form of e2ee chat with a friend
<kris_>
i guess its about time i bite it and set up xmpp again
<midfavila>
xmpp with omemo or irc/icb/talk with pgp/otr
<midfavila>
tends to be my go to
<midfavila>
but icb is kind of ehhhhh
<kris_>
otr is cool but seems horribly maintained
<kris_>
and like no clients support it
<kris_>
and/or have plugins for it
<midfavila>
the only client that matters supports it
<kris_>
i swear if you say pidgin
<midfavila>
:3c
<kris_>
unbelievable
<kris_>
lmfao
<midfavila>
what can i say, i'm a libpurple stan
<midfavila>
i know it's a hot mess but it's *my* hot mess
<kris_>
i'm a weechat shill
<midfavila>
it's the only way i can use muh discords on my uconsole
<kris_>
even though it doesnt exactly work very well with my bouncer
<kris_>
since i moved from znc to soju
<kris_>
i just use the vesktop client for discord
<kris_>
not on a uconsole though ofc
<midfavila>
my uconsole is a 1ghz riscv machine with 1gb of ddr3
<midfavila>
i dont think it could even open a modern browser
<kris_>
probably not
<midfavila>
it definitely tried to open uhhh
<kris_>
my t480 is working out well for me though, finally got new batteries
<midfavila>
that lua vi style browser
<kris_>
got scammed on a batt kinda but still
<midfavila>
it *did*... open
<midfavila>
and then promptly OOM
<kris_>
tldr bought an "oem genuine" one on ebay, 72wh
<midfavila>
what did i tell you dawg
<kris_>
shows up and it's labeled appropriately, looks real, OS reports 64wh peak
<kris_>
so i guess its a 64wh batt
<kris_>
the battery life is still fucking killer though so im not the most upset
<midfavila>
ye fair
<kris_>
the new internal one i got is actually the size its supposed to be at least
<midfavila>
i think that's my biggest complaint about my reform
<kris_>
by killer i mean easily like 14wh of battery with moderate load via discord, librewolf with a bunch of tabs open, music player playing flacs
<midfavila>
is that the lifepo4 cells it uses have a fair amount less energy density than conventional cells
<midfavila>
i'm thinking i might do some pretty heavy mods in the future though. add a couple extra cells in the process
<kris_>
s/14wh/14h
<kris_>
and yeah that could be neat
<kris_>
the reform is definitely cool
<midfavila>
once the modos display controller board comes out i want to try and replace the standard 16:9 LCD with a 4:3 e-ink panel
<midfavila>
since afaik the imx8mq uses eDP and the modos board also offers edp
<midfavila>
but that ofc entails getting a new chassis milled, probably 14"
<midfavila>
which means figuring out how the hell i'm gonna get the mainboard to work
<midfavila>
i'll probably just use USB A to A cables as a kludge
<midfavila>
instead of modifying and ordering a new mainboard
<midfavila>
then i'd like to add more cells, like i said, and im crazy enough to try and mount a kishsaver model f in the chassis
<midfavila>
if theres enough depth
<midfavila>
trackball and model f with a 1600x1200 epaper display in the reform...
