Moving to a Cooperative World
I've been rethinking what I'm doing online and how I'm doing it, this has
been going on for a while for other reasons : => /redacted/gjb2df.gmi Entry
"Changes to the System" Recently I've started using a CDN service based in
Slovenia, the price isn't too bad for what I'm doing so it means I can
focus less on perfectly planting a host that for the most part is
accessible from most places (mainly being America). The CDN costs a few
cents a month to give a bit of a boost to the delivery speed and managing
some of the bot problems. Following this up that I've been looking for a
better place to keep my data, and I've started to come across a rather
large network of cooperative hosts. I'm a member of Nubo(1) (based in
Belgium) who I'm looking at potentially to move my email (still not exactly
sure) to and more close to home a web host called Ouvaton(2) (based in
France). I had a bit of fun setting up the multiple hosts, but in general
I'm spending far too much money on hosting that I don't really need and
use. Not only that considering the nightmare of climate hell we're in, I
don't even want to know about the CO2 all this is adding. The benefits to
me here are that I can drop a lot of financial obligation for a website
that is basically static and that I can be more involved in the
organisation where I keep my data. Over the weekend, I've moved all the
files over to Ouvaton and repointed the CDN. There are still a few parts
that are on the other hosts which I need to start spinning down /
repointing back to Ouvaton. As for email, I'm still working that out, for
the most part between how much I'm using Simplelogin my mailbox is
encrypted. The only thing I'm testing is filtering and deliverability from
simplelogin to the new host. I may even just keep it with mailbox.org and
Proton. => https://nubo.coop/fr/ (1) Nubo => https://ouvaton.coop/ (2)
