Of course. Need to be extra cautious so you don’t get a surprise bill for your birthday.
That’s what I liked more about Oracle as compared to AWS or GCP etc’, is that you need to manually upgrade your account to paid account. and if u don’t then you just can’t create another machine or another block storage.
But still it’s extremely important to read every word so you know what you’re getting yourself into.
that’s not to wear off of the importance of awareness. you should be aware always, even if you don’t take action.
Obviously I’m not avoiding it all together, but I’m taking a step in the right direction.
And it’s not just replacing Google by CF, because CF has much less access in comparison as I explain.
you can deploy some zero trust models in your setup, and eliminate the threat even further. for example end to end encryption
mind elaborating?
If I let them handle the TLS for me then I can see that. but if, for example, I’m using NextCloud, which implement end to end encryption from client to server, then I wouldn’t care if they did, no?
tl;dr: classic convenience/privacy. depends on your threat model. surely better than Google. models of zero trust will help.
That’s a great question, that I have asked myself before too. It doesn’t have one answer, and any one would make their own choices based on their own respective threat model. I’ll answer you with some of my thoughts, and why I do use their services.
I’ll take as an example my usage of NextCloud, coming as a replacement to Google Drive for example.
let’s break up the setups:
It’s oversimplified, but to the point: In Google’s setup, you have control of 0 out of three things.
In NextCloud’s setup,
From just this look, NC is clearly better off. now, it’s not perfect, and each one will do their own convenience vs privacy deal and decide their deal.
If you deploy some sort of e2ee, the severity level of CF drops even more, because they’re exposed to less data. specifically for NC they do do e2ee, but each solution to its own. https://nextcloud.com/encryption/ this goes as an example for zero trust model. if you handle the encryption yourself (like using an e2ee service), you don’t have to trust the medium your data is going through. like the open internet.
gotta admit I haven’t read the ToS, but I didn’t encounter any problems. I’m streaming GBs of music via the tunnel and it still works. p2p I didn’t try, but I don’t really see a reason to?
no problem!
So what if you took my king hostage? Yours gonna have nightmares from seeing my entire horde die before him! ha! you may have won the game, but ah… ahhg… you may have won! but I…! you’ll see me!!
another option is to use Cloudflare’s tunnels. it’s free, I use it all the time. really great.
interesting, ty!
yeah that’s very odd…
You can pirate the sheets out of Songsterr. It’s probably the most popular site for music sheets. I didn’t find a convenient way, but I was able to:
I didn’t find an add on, or a way, that let me save the page as is. they always block it. so only screenshot is what I was able.
You can run your searxng on a VPS, and then it’ll hide your IP address.
In most cloud provides you can also change your machine’s IP address so there’s also that.
that’s gonna make it very slow tho…
Oracle have a great free tier. For free (not a trial, but forever free), you can get a virtual machine with 24gb RAM, and storage of 200gb. you might wanna consider that.
If you do choose to use oracle, I’ll note you that you do need a credit card, tho it’ll not be charged unless you manually upgrade your account to paid account.
I’m not advertising them, I just really think they’re great and I’m using it myself.
Holy industrial revolution
yes. and no, it’s not the bare minimum. You perceive a very specific definition of anarchism, and act like anything that’s not exactly what you know/do is just not anarchism anymore and is just wannabe edgy liberals.
How can you even fence so hard a term such as anarchism? just let people be and believe what they want.
you’re now just this conservative guy screaming in fear because the world is not what is used to be when you were at your 20s.
cool down. It’s okay to be an anarchist just online, and it’s okay to take “irl actions”, as you call it, and not see yourself above everyone else.
that’s some really dedicated gatekeeping for anarchism…
I knew this would be a waste of time! *loads gun
