@movq@www.uninformativ.de Honestly restic + Object Storage with whoever you like is “good enough”™. Backblaze B2’s Object Storage is still the most cost effective and competitive in the market.

New cabinet on the arcade 🥳 Warlords (1990) — the whole of Illuria, 80 cities, 8 empires, heroes digging dragons out of ruins. Rules straight from the manual, new painted art. And it’s the first one you can play online: host a game, hand out a 6-letter code 👉 https://games.mills.io/play/warlords.html

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I cannot recommend restic enough and a good TB or 2 External USB Disk 😅

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Coo! 👌 @david@daiwei.me also signed up tonight too, even paid for an extra unit 🤣 I’m very keen to see how this goes honestly, before scaling up the service 🤔

TL;DR: $1/month hosting or whatever you want to run 🏃

👋 Introducing (_after a 3yr hiatic where the project actually begin in ~2023+); cas.run: give it a container image and it runs it on the web at its own hostname. This is an alpha service at the moment, so; every account gets one service, 64 MB of memory and a gigabyte of disk space. You can purchase more units at a $1/month (AUD), so it’s like $0.70 USD I think. Don’t use this for anything big please (not yet), the infra behind it runs on a single host in Sydney right now. https://cas.run

@david@daiwei.me Oooh Nice 👍

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com So I can think of a number of services that can run in this memory “pool”. It’s not a limit, just a default “unit size”. yarnd, saltyd, any static web hosting, etc. There’a a non-zero no. of things that will consume very little memory.

@xuu@txt.sour.is OH my god! 😱 You’re alive!!!!

wut da actual fuq?!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Good context and info thank you 🙏 Obviously I’m into self hosting too, d’uh, but it’s just an interesting experiment and price point. It isn’t about whether you can get xyz VM/VPS for $abc but more about all the times you don’t have to maintain or build yourself.

@david@daiwei.me Yes, you can. THat’s true, sometimes. Not always, though, promotional pricing etc. The differentiator is the extra bits you don’t have to maintain/manage.

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Good to know 👌 Thank you! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Fair, but not what I was trying to ask 😅

Q: Would you pay $2 AUD / $1.40 USD per month for a micro container service that let you run up to 3 containers with up to 64MB of memory per container, shared CPU and nVME backed Disk? 🤔 Then $1 SUD $0.70 USD / month per additional 64MB slot/slice? 🤔 – Assuming you can also run smaller containers where cost per container linearly scales, so $0.50 / $0.35 for 32MB containers.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m 5m in, and I’m already fucking pissed off. If I ever find such a male asshole, I will quite literally punch them in them in the face. The sad thing about this is that is happens at all. Fuck! 🤬

@kamme@twtxt.thanatos.be Hello! 👋

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Why are you skeptical of crowd-funded projects? 🤔 I was/am/maybe considering crowdfunding what I’m trying to get off the ground myself, but now you’ve got me rethinking that 😅

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz That don’t and are considered illegal, becuase cash is still legal tender in the US? 🤔

apparently, we have to remind people that cash is still legal tender 😅 – at my local café

ZeroKeyUSB — Your passwords, offline, in your pocket – Anyone know much about this nifty look’n device? 🤔

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz Welcome back! 👋

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Fair warnings. zs is incredibly simple, deliberately so. LMK if you have any q’s when trying it out, it probably has confusing docs 🤣

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz yeah I think so. Btw, if you’re looking for an SSG, I quite like the one I maintain over at https://zs.mills.io

It’s basically what my own blob is too 😅 – The thing is though, if you see @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s posts, they get pretty long, there really isn’t any limit to the length of posts you can make in your Twtxt feed in the first place Haha 🤣

(4) The First Brain Was Just Uploaded To A Computer - YouTube – Wow 😮 This is pretty amazing! Scientists and this new company called Eon, have managed to replicate the entire structure of a fruit fly’s brain, exactly. It behaves exactly like a fruit fly does, in it’s virtual simulated world. The only thing they’re missing is the strengths of the connections and weights of each neuron and the state of the chemical “soup”? of the original fly, so it carries no memories and has no “mind”, but structurally it works! Holy shit! Wowza 😱

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com That was pretty fun and funny 😄

@david@daiwei.me I use Poste.io internally
Maddy at the edge – I’ve also hears good things about Mail-in-box, Mailu and Mox

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz very nice! By the way, where are you from?

@david@daiwei.me Ahh, I’m only confused then because I’ve never seen anything quite like this, nor have I played and role playing games on a table-top either.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I think so, what I was mostly confused about is the website itself. It has a lot of content and verbiage. Can the game be played on the website? Or is it table-top played? 🤔

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hmmm 🤔 What is this exaactly?

Thanks!

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Yes please! See: https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley

haha 🤣

haha there are way more than 29 folks around here 🤣

i hate DST 🤣

@khaled@twtpub.com Hello! 👋

@river@twtpub.com Hey 👋

@aesthetic@twtpub.com Hello 👋

@pfefferle@twtxt.net Hey 👋

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz it forks and creates a new sub thread, obviously 🤣

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz very cool 😎

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz do you mean parley?

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz sorry I just saw this, sounds like a good idea. I’ll see if I can add this!

I’m back from my week-long trip 👋

A few more pics if my trip 😎

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Hah 🤣 The property of Twtxt / Yarn.social that we all enjoy is how slow that ecosystem is 😅

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Nice! 👌 let me know if there are any other improvements we can make 🙏

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Oh nice! 👌 Are you using the Twtxt.spp with it too? 🧐
