Inside the cloud:
Yesterday I was talking with a member of the tech staff of my University. He told me that the introduction of Microsoft Cloud was met with substantial resistance from tech staff, delaying it for 8 years. And that it was expected that the cloud will reduce staff, but now they find out it is the opposite: so they lay off Linux people and hire Microsoft people instead. Under the banner of security.
And then he was handing me over an unmanaged device.

Yesterday evening I had the honor of being one of six speakers at the closing rally of the 8M demo in #Linz, where each of us stood on a beer crate with a microphone to speak from different places among the crowd.

I was a bit worried about whether I could explain the #DigitalDepletionStrike in under 2 minutes, but in the end I was surprised and encouraged not only by the reactions at the rally, but also when people came to talk with us from @servus during the afterparty.

Are people finally fed up enough to want change?

on this blessed day of the international #transfeminist #digitaldepletionstrike we are setting up nextcloud for our sfpc solidarity infrastructures class on a cute little $50 server from craigslist sitting in my living room 👩🏻‍💻🎀⭐️ #8M2023 #decloudify #countercloudactionday

- "Heißt das, mein Gmail-Account unterstützt das Patriarchat?"

- "Ja, aber wir verurteilen niemanden, der die Dienste dieser Anbieter nutzt..." die sg. Cloud-Dienste der großen Tech-Giganten sind auch mit IT-skills leider sehr schwer zu vermeiden.

Heute hat @netzpolitik_feed anlässtlich des #DigitalDepletionStrike und #8M #8M2023 ein Interview mit uns veröffentlich: https://netzpolitik.org/2023/streik-gegen-tech-giganten-wir-wollen-keine-schoenheitskorrekturen-sondern-wandel/

Happy International Trans★Feminist Digital Cloud Strike day everybody!

Here some images from work done earlier this week on our server infrastructure. Proudly self-hosting many services and art initiatives since 2003.

Über unseren Berliner Teil des #DigitalDepletionStrike gibt es ein Interview von @ckoever für @netzpolitik_feed mit @heartofcode , wo die #CryptoParty stattfand.

Warum #DeCloudify?

"Mittlerweile findet ein großer Teil unseres digitalen Lebens in der Cloud statt. Oft merken wir das gar nicht. Die Software und die Betriebssysteme, die wir im Alltag benutzen, sind physisch nicht mehr der Code, der auf dem Gerät liegt und das wir in der Hand haben."

If you participate in tomorrow's Cloud Strike. Remember you can still access this instance (and most other masto instances as well). Though technically, it's also a cloud service, it's definitely not the type of corporate cloud targeted here.
