Stefano Marinelli<p>This morning, I was on the phone with a potential client, and I suggested they migrate to a NextCloud solution instead of their current cloud provider. When I explained that one of the main reasons, in my opinion, is to remain the owner of their own data, they reacted ironically, saying that at that point, people like me would have access to all their data. They seemed less worried about a large cloud provider than about a company "closer" to them.</p><p>I explained that they could encrypt everything, but they weren’t entirely convinced.</p><p>We parted ways on good terms, but with little hope.</p><p>Two hours later, they called me back. They did some research and asked a few colleagues. They’re now considering the idea and even apologized for the joke.</p><p>There was nothing to apologize for; it's just that some dynamics can be unclear (especially since we're so used to the promises of salespeople, often far from reality).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataOwnership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Encryption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/TechTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechTrust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PrivacyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivacyMatters</span></a></p>

Stefano Marinelli<p>One of the things I've been advocating for years - and where I want to raise my voice even louder - is the importance of owning your data. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnYourData</span></a></p><p>Over the past few days, I’ve come across two examples of how misinformation is causing immense damage, leading people to believe that there's no alternative but to hand over their data to big corporations, putting themselves entirely in their hands.</p><p>- A well-known lawyer, just before a meeting, warned about using Teams and its new "virtual assistant," which joins conferences before anyone else and transcribes everything. When I pointed out that it would be wise to use alternative tools (like Jitsi, for example, but there are others), he abruptly ended the conversation, saying, "We've lost this war. There's no alternative anymore."<br>That wasn’t the right moment for a detailed discussion, so I just noted that alternatives do exist - but if no one starts using them, and if we passively accept certain behaviors from certain companies, things will never improve for us.</p><p>- Just now, I received another one of those emails that hurt more in the heart than in the wallet: "Our e-commerce is taking off, so we’re moving it to Shopify to better manage our growth."<br>I replied, trying to explain that handing over a growing e-commerce business to a third-party company (right now, they have full access to their own server - meaning all their databases, data, etc., are under their control) means losing ownership of it. Prices could change at any moment, contract terms could shift negatively, and, worst case scenario, if Shopify itself faced issues (which seems impossible today, but think of giants like Kodak), they could lose everything. Of course, they’ll do what they think is best, but I feel obligated to warn them.</p><p>Luckily, others are making the opposite choice. But I keep wondering: since these big platforms aren’t exactly cheap, rather than "selling themselves" to them just for (potentially) fewer headaches, wouldn’t it be worth paying someone (not me, of course, but someone working exclusively for them) to handle these things - ensuring they retain full ownership of their business and their data?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataOwnership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataRights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MyDataMyChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyDataMyChoice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/TakeBackControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakeBackControl</span></a></p>

BSD Cafe Announcements<p>Friends of the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDCafe</span></a> and of the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a>, <br>initially, for just over a year, BSD Cafe's media was stored in a FreeBSD physical server jail with an outgoing bandwidth of 250 Mbit/sec. To address bandwidth congestion, I had integrated Cloudflare with a tunnel, serving media (and only media) through Cloudflare.</p><p>In line with the principles of self-hosting and data ownership, I’ve decided to remove Cloudflare. This has led to some bandwidth congestion when media was posted and slower download speeds for users, particularly during peak times. This is because as soon as content is published and federated servers are notified, they will rush (depending on how full their queues are) to download the newly published content - media included.</p><p>I’ve now revised the setup (currently in beta) by moving DNS management to two personal nameservers run with PowerDNS. The media server remains the same, but I’ve added two reverse proxies, one in the USA and one in Germany (the media server is in Poland). They're connected to the Media server via WireGuard. <br>I’ve installed the excellent Varnish and created a custom VCL. Media requests will be directed by the PowerDNS LUA scripts to the caller's closest reverse proxy. Nginx will pass requests to Varnish, which will serve data from the cache if available. If not, it will fetch from the original server, but request volume has decreased significantly.</p><p>I’m analyzing the results, and they look very promising. I may expand this home-made CDN by adding more VPSs, potentially closer to Asia and Oceania.</p><p>A detailed blog post will follow.</p><p>Stay tuned!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataOwnership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnYourData</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Varnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Varnish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PowerDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerDNS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ReverseProxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReverseProxy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/CDN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDN</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDCafeUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDCafeServices</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeAnnouncements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDCafeAnnouncements</span></a></p>
