I have been using Google Chrome since its just released to the wild. I wanted a Webkit based browser that can run across platforms, I jumped ship from Firefox to Chrome since the very first publicly available version.

Many years later now, it is now the number 1 browser and it also became the evil itself. It will soon disable the current Adblock plugins with the introduction of Manifest v3. Ads is the source of incomes for Google, I get it, everyone needs $$ to survive.. But I value if we have a choice too. Mozilla seems to gonna support Manifest v2 (or whatever crap you wanna call it) for the foreseeable future, I hope they are not gonna disappoint their users.

The setup was quick and I did not know the Nextcloud docker is so slow on a weak KVM VPS.. It’s really too slow to be useful for anything.. Ok, time to cancel the BuyVM VPS again..

Managed to rent a KVM from BuyVM again after I switched over to Raspberry Pi hosting at home.

As a privacy paranoid, I still prefer hosting it on a Raspberry Pi at home rather than somewhere else. But to follow a good backup practice, I need a copy of my data offsite. Since I used BuyVM for so long and they are really good and low price, I decided to try my luck and see if I can rent a KVM VPS from them again. Lucky me, there is one last slot available at NY data center.

With Docker, the setup process was really fast and straightforward. All I needed to do was uploading the docker compose from my Pi5 server to BuyVM VPS and then run docker compose up. After that, I just need to setup reverse proxy from my Pi5 server and everything just works. How can I not love open source software?
