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

I host lemmy.wtf on my own hardware, so no issues here :D
nice
Sopuli is hosted on Hetzner, so no problems whatsoever.
nice. Most of my instances I provide for are self hosted solutions.
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?
Itd be idiotic to host a fediverse instance on big cloud providers.
care about privacy and security? dont host on AWS
I never even heard of AWS before today. What is it?
It’s called amazon web services.
In short there’s 3 major cloud providers
Amazon Web Services
Google Cloud Platform
Microsoft Azure
All 3 basically do the same thing, real simplified version of it. it’s kind of a giant pool of server resources that are leased to you by demand. So say if you are netflix and have 100 million people watching the day a new series drops, but then only have 1 million watching tuesday night, they pay based on how much is currently being used, rather than having to set everything to handle peak, but be idle 90% of the time.
again yeah it’s expensive for most purposes… and one can argue how bad it is on the whole, but it is kind of what most companies have been using for a lot of things for the last 15 years.
Amazon web services. They are one of the biggest providers for hosting things. A lot of the internet infrastructure uses aws.
Perks of still running bare metal in colo, no issues for any of my stuff. Not seeing anyone say anything in the Lemmy chat on Matrix either.
