Hey everyone! #vultr just enshittified!

They re claiming ownership of all intellectual property you host on their VMs.

https://grimgreenfo.rest/notes/9rdle0uyo4d30029

Clear violation of copyright law.

So, where are people moving to? What options are out there? that suck less?

@mwl I mostly use Oracle Cloud because I manage operations for the compute service. We had a problem with the FreeBSD image but @dch recently got it fixed and has updated images (incl ZFS root) planned. I also have Rocky, OmniOS guests.

If Oracle isn’t something you’re comfortable with, I hear great things about Hetzner and OVH for BSDs, and they treated me well at prior employers.

(Opinions my own etc)

@mwl Discord has the same thing. Anything you upload becomes their property.

@mwl @xyhhx ah well, this makes me feel a little better about those times I forgot to pay my server bill and didn’t pay up till the final warning.

jokes on them though, only intellectual property they’re getting from me is the automated bread & grilled cheese factory I built the last time I hosted a minecraft server for friends.

Ok, if vultr has enshittified, then
I'm thinking it really is time for a #coop that delivers #internet infrastructure.

Surely there must already be one?
Anyone around here familiar with incorporating a #cooperative #business ?

#SRE
#webdev

@blaise @mwl why would a coop be protected against enshittification?

@mwl Looks like a TOS copy and paste fuckup that’ll get rolled back.

But I quite like ssdnodes.com.

@steve That's some impressive pricing. Would you like to share your referral link?

@mwl wtf? I use aws but it is a bit of expensive. Maybe it is time to go back to colo options with our own tiny server. Idk

@nixCraft @mwl I have been very happy with Linode.

@nixCraft @QRSS_Test @mwl FWIW Linode is now Akamai

@nixCraft @mwl been using netcup (for server and general remote services) and scaleway (for S3 compatible buckets). Both are EU companies.
