Since AWS is still having issues, I was wondering how the fediverse is? How are you all fairing this fine Monday?

Sopuli is hosted on Hetzner, so no problems whatsoever.
Does Hetzner host on their own infra?
Yes, they have their own datacenters.
They are also one of/the biggest hosting providers fedi instances use, if they’d go down, big parts of fedi would as well
My personal Mastodon instance is doing great. It runs on my old gaming desktop in my living room. Haven’t had any downtime today, so I can say with 100% confidence that my living room has better 24 hour uptime than Amazon right now. Who wants to buy some compute time from my living room?
I don’t think any lemmy instances can afford to run on the big clouds.
Itd be idiotic to host a fediverse instance on big cloud providers.
care about privacy and security? dont host on AWS
I hope people aren’t under the impression that Lemmy is about privacy.
Arguably it’s even less private than Reddit, as at least Reddit has some sort of controls on who can access your data i.e. whoever pays.
But on Lemmy, that’s free with federation. Maybe not the same granular tracking data, but enough of users personal data is available as to not consider Lemmy to be a privacy centric service.
