Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? european-alternatives.eu/alter

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. tipalti.com/resources/learn/st

edit/added couple more tags for visibility.

European AlternativesEuropean alternatives to stripe | European AlternativesStripe is a modern online payment service provider with lots of services and intergrations.

If you're going to choose a cloud hosting provider, please do not use #DigitalOcean Digital Ocean does not pay attention to abuse reports. They do not take offending hosts offline. They allow hosts to continue making intrusion attempts, port scanning, and all kinds of nefarious activities. Fuck Digital Ocean! Use a reputable cloud hosting provider.

Digital Ocean maintenance is currently in progress NYC1. It was supposed to start soon and take 2 hours. If you use DO, I would recommend subscribing to their status. I have found doing so has kept my need to troubleshoot Mastodon failures in Sidekiq down, as well as my aggravation. #DigitalOcean

This scheduled maintenance is going to affect: Cloud Firewall, Kubernetes (NYC1), Managed Databases (NYC1), App Platform (New York), Droplets (NYC1), Load Balancers (NYC1), and Networking (NYC1).

If you've ever wanted your own VPN server for privacy, bug bounty testing, or to change your IP address without relying on overpriced services - I've got a tutorial for you.

In this beginner-friendly walkthrough, I show how to:
🔐 Set up WireGuard on a DigitalOcean VPS
🛠️ Configuration file for both server and client
📶 Enable IP forwarding and firewall on the server
📲 Connect from macOS using a config file or from phone using QR code

The result? A fast, secure, self-hosted VPN — and full control over your traffic.

Would love to hear if you've used WireGuard before - or what tools you prefer!

NYC1 Network Maintenance on #DigitalOcean

Scheduled for Jun 18, 22:00 UTC - Jun 19, 00:00 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the NYC1 region.

Expected impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience delays or failures with event processing for a brief duration on Droplets and Droplet-based services, including Droplets, Managed Kubernetes, Load Balancers, Container Registry, and App Platform. Additionally, regular requests via the Public API, as well as viewing and submitting requests through the Cloud Control Panel, may time out or fail for up to 5 minutes. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.

Over the last week I migrated¹ my 9-year-old #DigitalOcean droplet (hosting my websites and wotnot) to a new droplet. Tonight, I deleted the original droplet. #FingersCrossed I remembered everything :-)

¹ They have ways to do this efficiently, but I wanted to re-set up everything from scratch.

DigitalOcean decided to suddenly block email ports like 465 on all virtual computers.
And NOT send an email to everyone about it. Only mentioning it on a line in a changelog.

Meaning no e-mail related things worked for I dont even know how long, no users able to change password or register.

Wow, what a crazy thing, I'm traveling a lot and then suddenly, our main site, tongfmaily.com suddenly goes down with a strange message that just lists the underlying hosting site.

@StuWatts it’s need to be say: Microsoft knows how to make money. When I was in collage our advenced databases classes was performed on MS SQL, also they founds for community groups are imo higher than of AWS and for sure GCP.
Btw why not use smaller providers for classes like #digitalocean or #linide? It’s easier to control costs there 🙂

剛剛測試 digitalocean 的 droplet 如果是放在多倫多,是可以連得到 kobo tw 的網站。所以我正在把我的 n8n snapshoot 增加一個多倫多的區域,等增加完畢來d開一個多倫多的 droplet,理論上就可以來跑 kobo 每日 99 了...
