I’d love to see the correspondence he had with his editor

The musk thing is quite amusing, I gotta admit

And gold leaf isn’t even that expensive

A single leaf is so thin, that is costs only a little over a buck. The tiny piece of gold on your fancy food? Only a couple cents

But you can bet your ass that you will pay way more than that

Artisanal hand carved phones

That’s crazy. I paid 2.80€ for 12 the other day. And that were the higher quality ones

Was 5 bucks a regular price in the US?

Doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, if there’s no consequences

Here’s a very accurate map of how it’s called

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.

Trump would rather just give the ISS transport job back to his bff putin

ah, makes sense. didn’t know that mbin hides the instance. Maybe as an additional link after the current one?

In any case: thanks for the work so far! Great service

When will he start slamming, though?

for the links to a discussion, yes. But for a link to the community which has been decided, it’s probably more user friendly to just do the exclamation mark style instead of a normal link

Any chance of using the !-format for the links in the list? makes it easier to just visit and subscribe

Is there any technical reason that it has to send your notification data to Google and Apple or is it just to get more data on you?

the API that for example Google Firebases provides (most used, as it supports ios and android), is basically “send a notification with following content to this device”.

Which is very simple to implement. as it’s just fire and forget. But you send the actual data to Google in this case.

There are way to do it differently, for example how signal does it: They send a silent (e.g. invisible) notification to the device, which has no data in it.

That notifiation tells the app to check for new messages.

The app will then fetch messages in the encrypted way as it always does, and displays a notification if needed. No need to send actual data through the notification service (other than the metadata, that notifications should be pulled)
