@npub1fhr…pj7u you can theoretically do it all on GitHub.dev, but it isn’t fun, as every time you save becomes a commit.
There is a standard text editor included in chrome os that actually has basic syntax highlighting that works ok, but obviously not an ide.
Ultimately my son tried it for some time, and while it’s certainly possible, it isn’t pleasant, and he switched to a raspberry pi before long.

@npub1pwl…5qzr But I'd need to do that once per root comment. I couldn't do that in one http request per video, correct?
as described here: https://paste.thms.uk/peertube.md/markup
That's still very sub-optimal 😬

So my 10 year old son has decided he wants to learn #kotlin rather than #php, because php is uncool.
Et tu, my son? 😢

I don't think 'trolling' quite capture it though …

@npub16uk…pv7k expensive is of course relative, but this is the calculation I made:
With Google, I'm paying £25 (lets round that to €30) per year for 200GB.
With NextCloud I'd have to pay for a server (€7.19 per month) plus a 200GB volume (€10.56 per month) so a total of just over €200 per year, before I even think about backups.
Is €200 per year expensive? I'm grateful that it's not a life-changing amount for me, but it’s enough that I need to think about it. And either way it's 6+ times Google's cost.
But, to be fair, the main issue for me wasn't even the cost, but rather that I was unable to import my existing data.

@npub16uk…pv7k I’ve got a fair bit of stuff in my Google account. (About 200 GB worth of photos and docs)
The inertia is real!
I did actually play around with nextcloud recently but couldn’t for the life of me get it to even import my photos from Google drive.
Plus, the cost would be quite high compared to Google, once you factor in the cost for backups.
So unfortunately I have for now abandoned it again 😔

Question for all the #calckey / #Firefish users: is anyone willing to contribute a PR to #FediFetcher to implement support for Firefish/Calckey?

@npub1uht…xqql pricing seems good. But I’m always a bit nervous about providers no one’s heard of 🤔

@npub1uht…xqql never heard of it. Do you have a link?

I must say, I’m super impressed with #Hetzner: their €3.95 server consistently outperforms my old $14 server from #DigitalOcean by a mile!
