Services That I Use
I am responding to @AHermitForHire@pagan.plus question online about which services do I use as well as why.
Blogging Software
- I use WordPress.com for Darnell.tv & that is my main blog which is for lengthier, formal thoughts about technology, science & politics
- Darnell.day is powered by WriteFreely & hosted upon Write.as servers
- I also use Tumblr for two blog. Darnell Clayton (yes, I blog under my name) is my personal site & Darnell.co is my other, happier personal website.
- My African blog, Darnell.Africa is hosted by Medium & journeys my path from being ignorant about my ancestry to being enlightened about it (plus some news from the continent mixed in)
Multimedia
- I use Vimeo to host my videos as it’s far less expensive than hosting upon a domain. Plus, I can create subdomains & list videos there (for example see.Darnell.day)
- I also use SoundCloud to host my audio files.
Fediverse & Matrix
- I am a fan of solo hosting (as you probably can tell) & I run my own Mastodon instance at Darnell.One
- I also run a solo Pixelfed instance at Darnell.app
- I am also on Counter.Social too, although it’s defederated
- I use Matrix via Element’s servers, which powers my Matrix connection
News & Info
Cloud Providers
- I am familiar with Nextcloud & I will probably use it in the future to handle videos uploaded from a pending doorbell camera
- I use Google Drive for my main cloud storage
- I use iCloud to backup everything on my iPhone & iPad
