Running things yourself is good and avoiding being locked in to proprietary software (even when it's forks of free software as AWS does) is good. But for avoiding big tech it's all about where you draw the line. Hetzner (the company that owns the hardware used for the LUV VM) is a multinational hosting company. But what I run on the hardware is the same as what any of you could run at home, the software configuration is very similar to what I use to run Linux training on VMs. Developing the community skill base is a good thing too. Volunteers to help run the LUV VM are always appreciated, being an expert is not required as you can learn on the go. Anyone who's interested in helping can contact me and Andrew Pam off-list. https://etbe.coker.com.au/2021/09/07/oracle-cloud-free-tier/ Also for learning it's good to host your own VM. The Oracle Cloud seems to have the best "free tier" offering at the moment. If we got a group of Linux people who wanted to learn sysadmin with VMs on cloud services I could suggest exercises to try out and give pointers to anyone who gets stuck. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
