@isotopp Wow. The Torygraph framing the Iran-War as a dark plot of the radical green canal, secretly running the world...

@gadgetgav@mas.to @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io As an ISP, let me chime in: No, not necessarily. Just avoid any form of vendor-lock in (eg: onepage, wix, ...). Given your question, I assume, you are not overly tech-savvy. you are also fine running a cheap virtual host or virtual server. It's also OK, if you use the hosting-companies SQL-Server for your CMS (I suggest you do, so no hassle for you with patching, upgrades and security stuff). Important is, that you have means to 'dump' the stuff and move it somewhere else. Point is: use your own (domain-) name, so u can move your emails and or content somewhere else, with a limited amount of hassle. So: No vendor-specific stuff. They will prey on u, as they can guesstimate what a move will cost you, and calculate from there how to extract the maximum amount of money from you. Hosting with a hosting-company is perfectly fine, as long as you don't use their special-sauce, which will run exactly only on their servers. And if you are using CMSs - by the love of god, limit the amount of plugins. The ideal amount is 0, for that matter, and before you ask.

@beandev@social.tchncs.de Und sicher nicht das letzte Mal.

@Earl A reflection in the capsule window.

@merill@infosec.exchange Well another pretty bad idea. You seem to have quite a streak with those, lately. Time to stock up with popcorn and wait for the fallout.

@Geri It's already too late; after 15 days of blockade, the power went out. Which means huge problems with water supply & sewer-systems. As that was days ago,, hospitals & co are very likely also already in the dark. Large Man abroad (US Video Channel, the guy was in the military) reported at the beginning of the blockade, as well after the power-out (including predictions about usual effects on the population). TL&DR: expect deaths in the 100ks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLLzSZGERYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydw5eGwORDM

@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to I see the slight possibility that the Gaia-hypothesis is true and the conscient planet separated North-America from Europe for a reason.

@joanna@chaos.social Das ist sowas von genial:-)

@daaain@fosstodon.org @gadgetgav@mas.to @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Yeah, we needed that WordPress drama really badly. But generally: There is no one shoe fits it all. If your 'stuff' is mainly text - and not necessarily the layout an design of said text, then I see absolutely no problem here. The Texts can easily migrated to $something_else if the shit really hits the fan. If one is more 'artsy', and requires some multimedia-stuff and highly specific layouts (eg: a specific plugin and theme) then the answer is not so clear cut. Note: I use 'you' in the following paragraphs not directed to the above poster, but to a curious reader without much IT-knowledge: If you are a content-creator: ask around, what others are doing, und strike everything what looks like a closed shop (Facebook, Insta, Wix, onepage) from this list. This will leave you with very few options left, and with these ask sbdy with an IT background, and who you trust. The Person should be able to explain you the pros and cons if the few options and help you to make an informed decision. Damn, if I just have a week or two, I could really write the most important stuff in a kind of article. It will be a horrible article, as my writing is not the best, but maybe I would be able to cover the most important stuff.

@TotalSonic@mastodon.social @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io This is way too complicated. There were various tries doing that since the nineties. And they all failed. As a rule of thumb: you can't solve sociological or political problems using tech. And if someone brings up 'decentralised mesh nets': run. The last 30 years have proven, that these won't work (over a certain size, that is). It's fine for messaging, but not much more. NNTP ('NetNews') was the prime example for such a decentralised communication subsystem. It's still around, btw.

@gadgetgav@mas.to @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Sorry, im on a train, and only on my cellphone. So ... I'm not overly competent when it comes to the US ISP market. But GoDaddy is a larger player, and from what I know they offer basically everything from a naked VPS to a hosted WordPress. Generally, this boils down how much of your time you want to invest in kindling your stuff (updates, etc, ...). And, as I don't know you - and what you are intending to do, sorry, I can't give you solid advice. SBDY should make a decision-flowchart, or something like this. But if you are for instance talking WordPress: If you have SBDY who sets that up for you, and helps you decide for a holster, you should be fine. If you keep the plugins to minimum, enable anything with auto updates, and have aforementioned person to check once or twice in a year, that should do it (major updates, like switching php-releases). Sone Hosters and ISPs also offer WP setup and basing maintenance as a service, so there's that too.

@sixtus@mastodon.social Ich weiss nicht, ob das sonst schon wem aufgefallen ist: neuerdings wird die 'Leistungsfähigkeit' von RZ immer in Megawatt angegeben. Es ist seltsam, aber beschreibt die Nützlichkeit derselben auf geradezu absurd exakte Weise.

@sven_giegold@mastodon.social Soweit ich weiss, würde da die Absicht erklärt, die Importe nach Möglichkeit in diese Richtung zu entwickeln. Nicht, dass man das auch tatsächlich tun würde. TACO Bezug auf Trump ist bekannt - aber es gibt da auch die beliebte Abkürzung 'EMPANADA' für eben diese 'deals': Everyone Makes Promises And Never Actually Does Anything TL&DR: Niemand nimmt da irgendwas erst, oder hat irgendwie die Absicht.da.in eine Umsetzung zu gehen. Außer es passt einem Grad in den Kram.

@jschauma@mstdn.social Well, then just let's hope that they still alcan Google, as this ex-searchengine generates the answers with their own LLM. So, if that's down to things might get interesting...
