I’ll be honest, I’m just here for the memes.

    Its not the most sensitive info here, but you shouldn’t censor things using non-opaque markings. It’s pretty trivial to throw the image in an editor, crank up the brightness, and see what’s behind the censor in this case. Just wanna let you know in case you happen to do this to some sensitive info







  • That’s definitely true. I’ve always liked the concept, but never bought into this hype around the speculation, which really gives it a bad name.

    That’s why I think Monero is really the way forward to a good cryptocurrency. It’s price is fairly stable and makes more sense than Bitcoin in many ways. I’d use it more if there were more vendors using it. The most I’ve done with it is buy a Mullvad subscription.

    I’ve been interested in doing this, but I can’t tell why I need to login to Beeper in order to self host. I noticed their previous self-host solution did not require that.

    Because of that login step, I decided to look into this other repo which uses Ansible to deploy a Matrix homeserver and the same bridges that Beeper uses. I haven’t finished it yet since there’s a lot of config and choices to make, but it seems like it’ll serve the same end goal.

    Edit: lol, maybe if I read the intro, I’ll get my answer.

    You can connect any† standard Matrix application service to your Beeper account without having to self-host a whole Matrix homeserver.

    Still might go with the second option so that I don’t rely on their cloud services.


  • I just started using Backblaze B2, switching from AWS S3. I use it through Rclone to encrypt everything before I upload it. Only $6/TB/mo and it only charges what you use. You can download up to 3x your data stored per month for free, so if you ever decide to move or you need to restore a backup, you don’t have to pay egress costs. It was the cheapest service I could find, but there may be others.

    You can set price limits on your account to ensure you don’t go over too. It will alert you when you approach the limit. There are some minor costs, like pinging the API, but they are free up to a reasonable amount.
