It’s actually rather stunning to see just how hard they’re attacking privacy in these final months of the disastrous dumpster fire that is the Biden administration. This is exactly why I believe centralized cloud and CDN infrastructure is massively dangerous.
I didn’t mention the others. It’s simply that this current “administration” has been a disaster in literally every way so it’s not surprising they’re trying to end our constitutional rights.
Costs depend on a lot of factors. If you are technically adept you might be able to get away with 20 bucks a month for the whole setup but most folks wouldn’t imo. I also have some old hardware I was able to use and upgraded it. Initial invest for a homeserver varies greatly depending on who you know.
If you want to know more please ask. You can also hit me up on matrix. Link in bio.
I did a similar setup for my own cloud on several Raspberry Pis (one master and two backup devices). The backups are placed offsite and sync the entire content of the master device. The next step I want to try now is running a Proxmox cluster (on x86) that now only syncs contents but also provides identical copies in a high availability setup (like a “real” cloud would).
Thats actually not a bad idea. Long term selfhosted cloud solutions will have to compete on availability/redundancy. You might want to help the NC folks to implement that on their docker setup or something?
That’ll only ever pass of the big cloud vendors allow it. No way that Azure/AWS/Google wouldn’t object if a sizable portion of their user base get upset and threaten to leave. How much of that user base argues is unknown though.
Generally yes, it would matter a lot how it was structured. Today you couldn’t call up AWS and ask for the details on a service owner out of privacy reasons and there are ways to register things by proxy. If they started stripping those kind of protections away though there’s bound to be some pushback.
What’s more disturbing than the filmmakers continually trying to get the ips, is that the courts keep entertaining the filmmakers. At what point does the legal system say enough?
They only handed over 1 ip address. Because he/she explicitly said they were a customer, during a specific time period, and admitted to doing it.
Reddit is refusing to hand over any more because it’s all circumstantial. Example: I heard this ISP doesn’t give a fuck.
And Reddit has further evidence that handing over ip addresses will hurt the others because the film companies immediately started harassing the one ip address they did hand over, via a reverse lookup through t-mobile.
