The solution is for everyone to migrate to Jami, which is obviously the better option!

“premium” .eu.cc domains go for 10 dollars from them. The ones they let people have for free are less than 2 USD for registration and yearly renewal. I’m willing to lose these domains if they try to charge for it

Yeah, I’ll need to set that dyndns, my IP4 isn’t fixed. Haven’t checked the IP6 tho, might try it later today - leaving the router turned off for some 10 minutes, then turning it back on will give me the answer

First of all I would suggest getting your own domain.

Isn’t this what I just did? mydomain.eu.cc Even if I can’t get it to renew for free next year, the experience of setting stuff up should be worth it.

really need to be exposed to the internet to get updates?

From my limited understanding of APub, it needs to be exposed/findable in order to send updates and for my user@server to show up. I’ll be reading https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#server-to-server-interactions to know better

Can’t it pull them from other servers?

Tunnel through an existing server? Or what, exactly? Wouldn’t connecting through an existing fedi server also enforce its blocklist down to me?

As I don’t have any VPS, it sounds like I’ll have to rely with cloudflare’s tunnel then? That or register with one listed here? https://github.com/savyasathe/free-vps

Ah, the joys of being Brazilian… cries in equivalent 850USD/month salary

The main things I’d end up donating to are alternative operating systems or people making emulators/software for them, like AROS, Kolibri, Haiku or ReactOS

“Happy to be included in the article!”

Not sure whether even those responses were done with the ai or just the sloppers’ incapacity of thought showing through, being happy to be labeled as “part of the problem”
