@lx @nextcloud ah man, I hope that's not the case with the 3+, as this will be used in production.

@mattmcnutt @brandon unfortunately, I think Azure is already up there with the dominating names in this space. Others being AWS, Rackspace and Digital Ocean.

The only reason Microsoft are integrating Linux in to Azure, and the Windows desktop, is to make money (obviously). Linux has a huge market share in the server space, and they want some of that. Then, having Linux within desktop land keeps techies in Windows, as they can now use things like BASH natively.

So last night I bought the new Pi 3+. Haven't bought a Pi since the original, which I had to wait like 3 months for delivery!

Anyway, I'm intending to hook it up to a USB HDD and have it run a @nextcloud instance. Anyone done this? If so, what's the performance like?

@RyuKurisu never tried pass, but I do use KeePass for my work accounts, as I have no requirement to sync those. KeePass is great.

I wrote a comparison between #LastPass and #Bitwarden. Currently with the latter, and very happy I am too. https://kevq.uk/bitwarden-lastpass-alternative/

@RyuKurisu @mike @FuckOffGoogle I'm quite happy with DDG, personally. However, if someone can give me a good argument to host a serx instance, then I'm happy to do so.

Sorry, but saying it's on AWS isn't a good enough reason for me. I'm a pragmatist, so it has to improve my experience/workflow somehow. 👍

@DistroJunkie @overflow @tatpap no way that's RMS...hair is too tidy, and he's not that fat.

Here's the 3rd "Fat Guy Loses Weight" update: https://kevq.uk/fglw-week-03/

@RyuKurisu it was because the storage was smaller. Even creating a snapshot and blowing it on to a new droplet wouldn't have worked according to their support guys. Ah well, easily worked around. 😀

@wion very true!

So I’ve been hosting my #website with #DigitalOcean for quite some time now. They recently announced some really great value droplets, one of which is half the price of the one I’m currently using, and the only difference is that it has 5GB less SSD, fine by me.

Couldn’t downgrade, so I set up a new one. Took 15 mins to spin up a new droplet, install prerequisites, install and configure Ghost (with SSL) and have my site back up and running. That really is a testament to how far Ghost has come.

@mike I’ve reinstalled the app and followed a few people on there, however it keeps pushing me round to “collections”. They seem to have made the whole experience very convoluted.

Welcome to the new members of this instance. I see a few have popped over from mastodon.rocks.

@fatboy I can relate to that!

Soooo I just updates #Piwik, and it has now become #Matomo. When did that happen?

Also, why do open source projects often have such stupid names? Does it not make them more difficult for people to find?

@mattmcnutt @mike I've not had a "toxic" experience ok their personally. That's very much Twitter for me. I've just found it to be...meh recently.

@calvin yeah, I saw Linus' rant on the AMD Ryzen vuln a couple days ago.
