Stella or a scammer pretending to be Stella? You can LITERALLY tag anyone. A tag isn't proof of identity.

Here? He's on Nostr? Are you sure it's him?

Wait... Assange gas been free since 2024? What in mandella effect....! Great news, though. But I could have sworn I just heard of him fighting extradition to thebUS a few weeks ago.

Noooo! Somebody stop him!!! 😖

I notice how you didn't answer my question 😉

😂🤣🤣😂 Yeah, no. Notice hiw it doesn't list the price, just has a vague "less than $10 per month" How much less? $9.99 less or $0.01 less?

I'm already paying less than $10 a month AND it's self-hosted with only a copy of the encrypted backup getting stored by a 3rd party (google).

Let's do the actual math: $20 (google drive) + $25 (safe deposit box) = $45 per year / 12 months = $3.75

That's $3.75 per mont for 1) sovereign self hosting 2) two full off-site backups + 1 on-site external drive backup + multiple indirect backups wherever I choose to live-sync the cloud data locally.

That's a LOT of backup redundency PLUS self-hosted sovereignty + the abiliy to multi-purpose that server box for other things for free.

How much are you gonna pay me to get rid of all those benifits?

If I didn't care about self-hosting and redundency I could have just stayed with only google drive ($20/year = $1.66/month)

Huh? I'm not paying for nextcloud. It's free if you self-host it amd I self host it. I bought a cheap PC for like $150 that's got equivalent processing power and RAM that I've seen those shiny new self-hosting computers advertised for $400+. That was a 1-time fee. Plus I can use that as an extra server for other stuff I'm planning on setting up, like my own Nostr relay and maybe a Tor site or something. I have some other ideas too.

I pay $25 / year for the safe deposit box but that's not data backup specific. I've always had my paper documents in a safe depositb box, so that cost isn't going away if I stop using it for backup.

Google drive is like $20 / year I think. I used to only have my data on there unencrypted before I went sovereign self-hosting route. I probably could get rid of it because I'm pretty sure the other 3 backup options are more than enough. But it's only $20/ year so why not keep it around.

Also, I'm confused about your statement a bit. You think I'm paying more than what and getting less than what? What is supposed to pay me? Are you selling a backup service or something?

This #followForFollow thing is so stupid. Why would you need #followers who are not interested in the #content you post? Because if they were interested in it they would follow you without this transactional #F4F shit.

You're inflating your follow numbers why? On normal social media it's usually done so that you seem like a bigger #influencer and brands pay you more for #sponsorships.

But here on Nostr it's pointless. Especially since the #follow numbers are so umbiguous.

I don't mab up my computer or the phone itself, because all my important data is sored on my self-hosted nextcloud or github. If my computer or phone kick the bucket suddenly and need to be re-imaged, it's just an excuse to start fresh with a newer OS amd less unused apps.

The self-hosted Nextcloud instance has its own built in encrypted backup which runs daily. I then aync that backup over to google drive (daily, I think) and then every 5 days also copy it over to a USB drive. These last 2 are done with a chron-scheduled shell script. The USB drive is 2 terrabytes, so it has plenty of space. The USB is set to keep 5 latest coppies of the backup.

About every month or so, I back up some of the more important pieces of data that are on my phone but aren't synced to the cloud onto a folder in the cloud, take the backup usb out. I take that USB to the bank ad put it innthe safe deposit box, take the second USB just like it out of the same box, plug it back into the computer and go.

So basically, if the hard-drive kicks the bucket, I have 3 versions of zipped up and encrypted backup: the latest one zipped on google drive, a few slightly older ones on the USB drive that's currently plugged in, and an older yet one stored in a safe deposit box at the bank.

I forgot to mention that my phone, tablet, and computers run data sync with nextcloud (some a limited one on just one or two folders, the other ones a full one. So copies of my data ate also on my various devices (so I don't have to rely on internet connectivity to access cloud data. Pkus it serves as backup #4.

Do you guys think #OpenAI is trolling us with those version numbers? They've got to be. I get that there are several models in #development at once and that's not super conducive to chrinological #version naming. But then why even use numbers at all? Just give them other names. Like #Google does with #Android releases (naming them after foods).

Damn! What'd you have for dinner? Cherobyl chicken?

Woah! Is this a free movie watching site where you can commeng using your Nostr profile? That's badass af!

'bout fucking time.

But.... atmospheric distortion, tho....?

👀👀👀👀👀 How sure are you that it's supposed to be that hairy? Sometimes good ferments get taken over by bad mold.

Omg cute!

I thought you were complaining about them not replying on holidays and weekends. But it's possible that they took vacation off. People often do that on short holiday weeks to get a full week off while spending only a few vacation days.

Either way, just call them. If they are in office they should pick up.

Why are you expecting people to work in their free time while not getting paid? The 9-5ers are doing the right thing. Fuck being on call 24-7.

Instead of bitching at them for it, take their lead and take some time off. Go fishing, hang out w family/friends. Work will bw there wjem you get back.

Ledger the wallet? Why are they calling you?
