OpenTofu

Terraform or OpenTofu (the open-source fork supported by the Linux Foundation) is a nice tool to setup the infrastructure on different cloud environments. There is also a provider that supports libvirt.

#eXit : Goodbye twitter. Hi Mastodon…

less than 1 minute read

Plushtodon

I decided to leave twitter.
 
Yes, this has something to do with the change of ownership, the name change to x, …
 
There is only 1 X to me, and that’s X.org

Twitter has become a platform that doesn’t value #freedomofspeech anymore.

My account even got flagged as possible spam to “factchecking” #fakenews

The mean reason is that there is a better alternative in the form of the Fediverse #Fediverse is the protocol that Mastodon uses.

It allows for a truly decentralised social media platform.

It allows organizations to set up their own Mastodon instance and take ownership and accountability for their content and accounts.

Mastodon is a nice platform; you probably feel at home there.

People who follow me on twitter can continue to follow me at Mastodon if they want.

I’ll post this message a couple of times to twitter before I close my twitter account, so people can decide if they want to follow me on Mastodon …or not ;-).

Have fun!
