@starbreaker @jelle_dc yeah I think it varies. they definitely around as user friendly as they could be

@starbreaker @jelle_dc I'm in the US and I rent a dedicated server from delimiter for around $16/month, with the catch that I pay yearly. pretty happy with it. their customer support is notoriously bad i guess and I can't vouch for anything besides the hardware

@starbreaker @jelle_dc (Morpheus voice) I didn't say it would be easy

ok well maybe it's not the greatest idea but still, I like the idea of compute resources available to all, supported by all

@jelle_dc @starbreaker yeah i'm not real clear on this either but i use openjdk, which you can get the source code for if you really want. oracle does have its hands in what the jvm is/does, but impls are sorta free?

@starbreaker @jelle_dc hmmm, cooperative colocation? heck, i'd hang around and do a bit of admin on a bunch of other people's servers just for fun (ok not really but)

@starbreaker mainly I just like to poke at the knee-jerk reaction to the github thing "oh use gitea it's self hosted"

@walruslifestyle Isn't gitbucket built with Scala, which runs on the Java virtual machine? And isn't Java mainly controlled by Oracle?

@starbreaker yes, though the language itself was not initially developed or controlled by a domineering tech company, and it can be compiled natively or to javascript. I take your point though, it's far from ideal

that's why I won't use gitea or gogs and prefer gitbucket

reminder that golang was developed by Google, and technology companies like them use technology, even open sourced technology, to establish and maintain dominance

can you get an activityshot at the activitypub? thanks for following me here
