oiaohmThe starting point to be correct is always a proper risk assessment on the data what you are going to be handling is.Jun 22 16:17
psyminCurrently suggested options for this project are GoDaddy and AWS.  So, I'd like to offer some better suggestions :)Jun 22 16:17
oiaohmQuestion have you checked your countries laws with the data you will be handling.Jun 22 16:18

psyminUSAJun 22 16:19
psyminBut it could be hosted elsewhere.Jun 22 16:19
psyminThe data isn't super sensitive.Jun 22 16:19

oiaohmLike are you going to take donations and how because that can add another stack of risk issues.Jun 22 16:28
oiaohmAll these things can put requirements on what your service provider you are going to choose has to provide you.Jun 22 16:29
psyminThe content, the user-facing stuff, that is definitely a thing to look at.  I'm currently looking at the stuff the end user doesn't interact with.  DNS, registrar, bandwidth, bare metal vs vps, companies that are freedom respecting.Jun 22 16:29
psyminWhether we should have it hosted at a user's location where they have 24/7 physical access but are restricted by last-mile ISP.Jun 22 16:30
oiaohmDNS registration where you are allowed to-do is a factor like USA registering there DNS in a country that on the no export export list that can be huge fines.Jun 22 16:30
oiaohmAlso freedom respecting is a sliding scale.Jun 22 16:31
psyminI agreeJun 22 16:31
oiaohmLike you don't want to be hosted with providers that say email spaming and running bot nets is fine because we have no restrictins what so ever.Jun 22 16:32
oiaohmAnd places like that would most likely get you on the wrong side of USA law dealing with them.Jun 22 16:32
psyminCorrectJun 22 16:32
oiaohmSo you want as much freedom as the law allows without having people black listing you all the time.Jun 22 16:33

oiaohmVirtual private server always means you are using a hypervisor and that is not without its problems.   Linux kernel at times have had issues with particular workloads on VPS under different hypervisors.Jun 22 16:35
oiaohmSo the hosting hypervisor if you choose VPS might be a factor if you can use them or not.Jun 22 16:35
oiaohmAlso VPS has increased risk from hypervisor expoits that bare metal option does not have.   Of course bare metal is more expensive in most cases.Jun 22 16:37
oiaohmpsymin: I guess you are starting to see why I cannot really start just recommending use X.   There are regulation requirements,  cost requirements and what you want to do requirements that all can rule in or out different providers.Jun 22 16:38

oiaohmYou cannot afford to take jobs like that lightly.Jun 22 16:41

oiaohmSo a church job sounds simple but it can be a path to very big legal trouble.     Reason why I was contacted it the one that set it up was stuck in legal for negligence Jun 22 16:43
oiaohmRisk assessment stage is not really optional.Jun 22 16:44
oiaohmIts optional if you don't care about losing everything you own.Jun 22 16:44

oiaohmReality here is most service providers its in there best interest to get you using items that are not software freedom.    So that you cannot change vendors.Jun 22 16:55
psyminI agree.  That is why I'd like to get them off on the right foot.  So they can change vendors, change to better systems, change to bare metal, change providers, etc.  Put the options in their hands.Jun 22 16:56
oiaohmThat is normally having one of your own staff assemble the VM/baremetal images in a close to a vendor netrual way.Jun 22 16:57
psyminYep.Jun 22 16:57
oiaohmOne of my big requirements that makes sure of this is must have a local server.Jun 22 16:57
oiaohmAs in backups from the cloud must be able to run locally with the internet.Jun 22 16:58
psyminExactly.Jun 22 16:58
oiaohmUnfortunately this in lots of cases results in higher cost on AWS and the like because you cannot use their provided databases as simply. Jun 22 16:59
oiaohmBasically having software freedom is going to come in a lot of cases as a cost to budget.Jun 22 17:00
oiaohmIn higher hosting costs and higher maintaince costs.Jun 22 17:00
psyminYeah, the "simple" way IMO was to use Amazon Linux 2 locally, on a VM host on baremetal locally, so it can work exactly the same on AWS as locally.  But that distro, and Amazon in general, aren't great.Jun 22 17:00
oiaohmThat end up normally being arguement with accountancy department.Jun 22 17:00

oiaohmThere are things I hate about systemd but the cgroups that systemd puts around services I find really useful when you have miss behaving services for some reason.Jun 22 17:11

oiaohmsystemd lots of ways is better than what we had.Jun 22 17:12

psyminWith an abolished state, many folks who have come to rely upon it for physical safety will be left vulnerable.Jun 22 17:54
oiaohmOf course there are many ways not to legally be the head.   its like x.org being under Software Freedom Conservancy  this allows x.org developers at times to have nasty ideas because they are not the management that issues have to be reported to.Jun 22 17:55

psyminIt isn't illegal for a manager to publicly say "I don't like taxes"Jun 22 17:56

oiaohmbut management of a company saying you don't like taxes being audited found to have made a tax mistake the tax office now gets to presume intentional.Jun 22 17:57
psyminSure, they will be targeted for being vocal.  That is unavoidable.Jun 22 17:57

MinceRmaybe that's how people like zemlin get to lead organizations like the LFJun 22 17:58

MinceRbut of course if your organization is on the side of the establishment and you're rich and powerful enough, you will never be "found to have made a tax mistake"Jun 22 17:59
oiaohmThat is not true.Jun 22 17:59
oiaohmThe difference is if you are found to have made a tax mistake you will be allowed to pay the difference without interest or fines for the mistake.Jun 22 18:00
oiaohmInterest and fines on a tax mistake because they take the like you are tax avoiding can make the amount of tax you did not pay look like nothing.Jun 22 18:00

DaemonFC[m]It gets worse. They follow you home by paying "Facebook/Twitter narc" companies to record whatever you do publicly and tell them so they have warning if they're hiring an employee with the "wrong opinions" on something, away from work and on their own time. That's one reason to delete both Facebook and Twitter and not use them.Jun 22 19:33
DaemonFC[m]The "wrong opinions" are anything that couldn't have appeared in an episode of Leave It to Beaver, and they're also some of the ones that Leave It to Beaver audiences wouldn't have thought anything about.

DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz "based on true story?"> I really hope not. Money talks though. They do manage to avoid criticism of Windows 10 in the mass media even though it's falling about and the only real question is which parts of it currently don't work at all.Jun 22 19:52
DaemonFC[m]When you have money, nothing damaging appears in the mainstream press. If it does, it's coded to tar and feather whoever is causing them a problem without calling attention to it for anyone who isn't aware of it already.Jun 22 19:54
DaemonFC[m]Like when Miguel de Icaza aid "a few anti-Mono blogs that were trying to cause trouble" then went full Vladimir Putin with "What about the Oracle Java lawsuit?".Jun 22 19:55
DaemonFC[m]Java is a different issue entirely, of course. Oracle is not claiming patents, they're claiming that you can copyright an API and trying to pull a fast one on the courts, and Google left the door hanging open by trying to avoid the GPL (like Apple does).Jun 22 19:56

DaemonFC[m]It's in the platform too. Google lets apps sidestep the permissions system and interfere and spy on each other and the user by claiming they're meant for an older version of Android.Jun 22 19:59
DaemonFC[m]So Facebook is for "Android 4.x" to get around the permissions and spy on your phone more than it could otherwise. Google has refused to step in and stop this, and that's one reason why the malware in the Play store (and elsewhere  is so powerful.Jun 22 20:00
