Big news! @altbot has a new home 🎉So I drove 8 hours to deliver the server, and then it traveled ANOTHER 9 hours all the way to Chicago to live with my friends at Nulled LLC (small colo/VPS company). They've been incredibly generous with pricing to support the project, and also insanely patient with all my first-time-colo "stupid questions" lol
Why did I need to move it? Well Altbot generates hundreds of alt-texts daily, but also... my home network was getting targeted with DDoS attacks (not fun). This gives way better uptime, protection, and room to scale.
The journey has been honestly... crazy. it all started as a scrappy project, moved to a locally hosted LLM on my home server, and now it's properly colocated at a REAL datacenter!
Ongoing cost is ~$100/month for colo, plus future hardware upgrades (will need to get a 2nd GPU soon!). If you value what altbot does for fediverse accessibility and want to help keep it running:

I don't drive, but shortly after living in NYC for a few years I was aware of how much a "parking ticket" cost, at home in Cleveland for the holidays I listened with mounting horror as my aunt complained about how my cousin kept getting parking tickets at CASE. "I don't know what's wrong with her. She has 40 parking tickets."
My face went white. That would be... tens of thousands of dollars!
"perhaps we could take a collection at church" I said thinking of my dear cousin *crushed* by debit.

Palestinians bid a final farewell to the fourteen year old Yamen Samid Hammad, who was killed by Israeli occupation forces near the entrance of Silwad, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces prevented ambulances from reaching him immediately after he was shot, blocking any urgent medical assistance.

Down: I will likely never be able to emulate or build that freakish fantasy console I've been obsessing over because the hardware and code is ancient.
Up: Somebody built almost the same system _last year_.
Down: it's $1000.
Up: It's a whole-ass computer.
Down: it's a whole-ass Amiga with no GPU acceleration and limited FPU support.
Up: people are actively fixing all these issues!
This is a little exhausting, but fun!

Watch | Texas Man Targeted Over Criticism of Israel
A Texas resident, Adam, was swatted after posting online criticisms of Israel, prompting a visit from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Bell County Sheriff’s Office.
An officer reportedly told him: “We’re here because of the comments you made online about Israel.”
Adam questioned the intrusion, asking: “Is it really free speech when Israel can effectively send your local police to your door for posts they don’t like?”

WE CAN SEIZE LAND AND BUILD SOLAR FARMS ON IT TO RUN HUGE SWARMS OF SERVERS AND MESH NETWORKS AND SPREAD THOSE NETWORKS OUT ACROSS THE CITY!
WE CAN BECOME THE FUNGUS!
WE CAN GROW FOOD ON EVERY SINGLE SCRAP OF LAND ACROSS THE STREETS OF THIS EMPIRE AS THE FUNGUS SPREADS!
