> Public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud made life easier for start-ups and enterprises. But they are closed source, have you rent computers at a huge premium, and lock you in. Ubicloud offers an open alternative, reduces your costs, and returns control of your infrastructure back to you. All without sacrificing the cloud's convenience.
especially when you say:

while I agree self-hosting at a philosophical level, please note that there are lots of good reasons to use public providers.
Once you go to install stuff things are made of different tool kits. In principle it is the same for macOS. Yes, all Apple stuff mostly are consistent. There are lots of dialogs inside System Preferences that seem old and not migrated. Also, once you install MS office, and other dev. stuff from macports things go weird.
Then it would be been impossible to login. Did you use a password that was leaked? If yes - may be they logged in - and you would have got a 'notification' on your phone to allow them. And you perhaps said yes to that remote login.
Sure, there will be some impact of sanctions. But note that wealthy individuals will find a way.
EU or US is never going to ban UAE, Saudi Arabia or India from they list for trading with Russia. Note that Iran has been successfully exporting gas to India by opening accounts with state banks in India.
These are complex issues.
All these headlines in the West for PR and public consumption. Eventually, the average Western European is more bothered about their jobs. Sure they happily opened borders, but wait a month or two. One these Ukrainians apply for jobs the locals get annoyed. Example: In Germany, Syrians were welcomed with open arms, then eventually the tabloid news turned around once they settled.
Note that the average Russian (or Chinese or Indian) is poor. They do not care about what people in Western Europe think. They do business to better themselves (just like average American that helps quell uprising in UAE by developing software or working for NSO).
1. Money: Russia is a tiny market for MS/Google/Apple. So they can appear to boycott it and still be OK with shareholders.
2. Communities (like these are mainly Western and hence) make decisions based on their surroundings/public views. Also this war is clear - one knows who is in the side of west and who is NOT.
3. The primary Middle East conflict is complex - Take for example, Arab-Israeli conflict. Actions in Muslim world are also perpetrated by local/regional govt. Too complex to take actions. and there is the $$$ in those oil countries - nobody incl. US govt wants a boycott of these $$$ - For example, Israel (technology), Saudi or UAE - support.
4. Also one needs to wait for some months to see how these responses pan out. There is a lot of fatigue in people for humanitarian things.
5. Ukraine has a similar cultural identity to Europe - that helps. But one needs to wait and see the responses of EU citizens when Ukrainians move to get EU residency. The same sympathy may change.
6. In defense of these Western organisations, during Tsunami lots of people helped
As some one working in storage, please do not get tons of NAS they are pain to manage eventually. Example: linus-tech-tips could not do it properly.
If you use youtube-dl how large is one video? Lets say 2 GB. I presume, every week you create have 2 videos? Then 4GB per week.
Google gives you $20 for 100 GB. Every year create a new account - like - company name.2022 dump everything there. Hire an clerk to make sure the credit card is payed every year.
That way you do not lose all videos at a time.
Heck you can even create free Google drive account every few months and segment them.
Do you know by chance if anyone "internal employees" tried to complain and report? I suspect this is an insider issue.
may be some internal staff, downloaded everything and reported these videos to kill your wife's business and to start their own business.
These are standard prices...
This is why one should not use sda/sdb or vda equivalent but use /dev/disk/by-uuid/
Sure " simple port scan would reveal it" - but for those other script kiddes that do not do have it prevents it. And BTW, every bit helps of security helps. zerotier at an alternative port is slightly better than port 22.
We deployed this for home office all secretaries as it is cheap and just works.
BTW even latest Lubuntu needs 4GB RAM... Sure you can use minimal window manager like awesome, but not the average joe!
I work at a major university. At our science department we tried using 'https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware' for calendar. But fails randomly, refresh issues. The computing centre claims they have everything fine. Groupware has so many bugs. The IT department cannot fix these.
Note that every self-hosted nerd will claim they do everything with nextcloud with RPi and all is perfect but it does not work for 100 people.
At the end we moved to Google calendar. Everything just works.
For us, contributing to science is important than being 100 % open.
Before you say iCloud it is much worse at losing mails/calendar sync - BTW, try it with > 20 users... Microsoft is kinda OK but works painfully when using linux or mac devices.
It is unfortunate people complain about FAANG without providing replacements.
> Flies in the face of many functional Chromebooks/Chromeboxens losing support
On these old hardware you can install Linux or even cloudready. Are you expecting support forever?
