Server hosting

This is a work in progress
Slrpnk.net is hosted by F-hub.org, a volunteer driven and non-commercial effort to host federated community services in a resource efficient and ethical way. F-hub.org grew out of a community of open-source game developers (freegamedev.net) that has existed since the early 2000s.

All the servers are operated and maintained (as a hobby) by one of the founding members and are currently located on the Azores in Portugal. Connectivity is provided through a dedicated high-speed fibreglass connection.
Hardware

The F-hub.org servers are based on second-hand consumer PC and data-centre hardware, but optimized for low energy consumption. Battery backup power is provided and data is stored with triple redundancy (off-site backups are still a work in progress). Electricity is currently provided by the utility grid (about 60% green-energy, mostly from a geothermal power-plant) but it is a work in progress to upgrade to a on-site solar PV system for near 100% renewable power.

Slrpnk.net itself currently runs on a dedicated 6th gen Intel CPU server with 8 threads, 16GB RAM and SATA SSD storage in raid configuration. Image uploads are stored on a large HDD raid array. All data is snapshotted and transferred for backup to a second shared server on daily basis.
External services

Given how difficult it is to have outgoing email accepted by the large email providers, all emails are currently routed through an external SMTP server hosted by OVH in France (same as the domain registration and DNS routing).

There are backup plans to move the servers to a co-location data-center owned by Altice, should this be required for scaling. However, monthly rent of rack-space is quite costly (starts at around 300€/month), thus this will require a substantial regular donation base to be possible.

man, I’m going to steal that analogy. it’s perfect

the hard part is being able to export them from some apps (looking at you, authy…)

Every robot is a sexbot if you’re brave enough

That’s not a high (heh) bar to beat

that’s my point

Hard to calculate exactly.

Latency is lower through the atmosphere than in glass (I thought that air was worse, but turns out it’s not. Makes sense. Glass is solid after all)

So it could be even closer than that. But there’s also the problem of the SL base station having to do the last bit of the route through fiber to the destination again. Do it also depends on where the base station is located in regards to the destination

To be fair “having fun with friends on the weekend and enjoying a beer” is a positive thing

But yes, for health, any amount is bad

You can even filter it out of the oceans. It’s just not worth the cost right now

And they often all use the same key. Which you can get online

Light in glass is actually surprisingly slow

After some distance, starlink would have better latency, as while the signal needs to go through a bunch of km of slow atmosphere, it would make up for that by having a big part of the signal go through vacuum between satellites

But latency isn’t everything

Fiber (when properly installed) is very stable. Satellite and mobile is always at least a little bit flaky

That’s the thing. I basically already assumed she more or less financed multiple terf organizations all by herself

It’s this actually new? Wasn’t it already known that she did that?

derp. you’re right.

I blame it on being turned into a newt

I turned my wife into a nerd

reads this in Life Of Brian

“A nerd??”

“I got better”

Fediverse being fediverse.

For large accounts it’s a genuine toxic cesspit.

Scroll back to a year ago and you can regularly see posts from him where he calls people out.

But that’s just the stuff he openly shows

kind of.

He mostly left because of bullying. Just posting video updates and rare posts.

how do you know what I call sex?
