Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.

I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.

GrapheneOS probably won't. Their main dev literally jokes about the phones security. While GrapheneOS was originally made for Pixels.

/e/OS it is degoogled but most of the "Google" applications have been replacedby great opensource alternatives or adapted. The app store still allows us to install apps from the playstore but anonymously.

I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I'm always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.

Great! It is important for the existence of Lemmy that there is no central server.

Here are the other links:

• !lemmyinstances@lemmy.world
• /c/lemmyinstances@lemmy.world

By having an actual policy. That lists the usage of data, 3rd parties and the responsibilities of the instance owner.

Well, if they launch. I will certainly block then from interacting with the content of my instances' users.

What a journalistical mistake, you can't directly compare a group of countries with a single country. In this case fallen behind means in money. Which is quite a bad assumption.

Is this the federation killer?

The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese's technical advances.

Well, you joined the most overcrowded Lemmy instance. Its administrators a currently working on it. But they didn't expect this many users.

In the meantime I recommend joining smaller instances. Which are able to handle the load. Like my own instance :).
