In the past few days I’ve seen talk about RAM prices shooting up due to demand from big datacenters.

Today I read that a historic brand like Crucial - I own plenty of their hardware, including SSDs - is dropping consumer products to focus on gear for those same datacenters.
The result (or maybe the intention?) is to push people away from self hosting, undermine the OwnYourData idea and make everyone depend on huge datacenters for life.

So much for owning your data.
So much for decentralisation.

Because taking down one giant datacenter is far easier than taking down thousands or millions of individual nodes.

Friends and colleagues, don’t trade your freedom for a bit of convenience. Once you give it away, getting it back is very hard.

Always Own Your Data.

“What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling solar panels to farmers on payment plans”

Oh man - I hate it when everyone relies on cloud services that are prone to not work... #cloud

Working in ancient route data - I have written myself a small web tool in order to make this easier. We need route directions and correct start and end points. With hundreds of sections along the way, the chance of human errors is quite big. #STRADA

On my way to #auschwitz - to my yearly workshop with the digital archive team. Looking forward to meeting my great colleagues again.

Updated my screenshot service Goggler to the latest release: https://github.com/mkalus/goggler - Goggler is open source and uses a headless Chromium to retrieve websites and take a screenshot. Screenshots can be cached in an S3/Minio cache and the service runs locally or in Docker/Podman. #golang #docker

On my way home after an exciting and exhausting day at the Flossenbürg Memorial Site. Always good to see the great team and the cool memorial projects. I could not visit the newly opened quarry site and hope to do this next time. #Flossenbürg #memarc
