The reason is that, Hetzner is the safest and has clear pricing, also very Cheap. If the server runs for month by mistake it will only cost 50 euros at the worst case. Running ham clean will prevent this, and the builder will prevent this, I'm talking about the worst worst case.. Other cloud providers are not predictable like this, in the worst case you might end up with 1000 dollar bill.. Also hetzner gives 20TB bandwidth, no other provider gives that for this cheap. Also for GDPR since hetzner is a German company.
I will look into the broken link... There are containers for LOS builds, you can use docker too, just install and run in docker if you like in the recipe..
The recipe runs everything in tty terminal, so its just bare vps with all the los build tools installed automatically.

Really good, you can use the tool with -k arg to keep the server even if the build fails, the stdout is saved in the server on /tmp, you inspect it to see what went wrong. Run ham clean to destroy all server and rerun. You give the tool a regular git repo URL or local dir. The entire git repo or local dir will be available on the server at /ham-recipe so you can put your patches and everything at the git repo itself. Run with ham get -k <user>@gh/<repo>
Make sure to run ham clean to destroy all build servers.
See my recipe for ref: https://github.com/ham-community/enchilada-los19.1
ham converts the ~ to the ham community username, but you can give any valid github username.

Cool Github Project: https://github.com/antony-jr/ham
Website: https://antonyjr.in/ham
​
For now only has recipe for Enchilada (aka. OnePlus 6, not 6T). It can build LineageOS 19.1 using a Android Signing Provided by You (See https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds). The special thing about this build is that, the output of this build can be flashed and you can lock your bootloader for extra security. (Only available for OP6).
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-re-locking-the-bootloader-on-the-oneplus-6t-with-a-self-signed-build-of-los.4113743/ for more info.
More instructions to follow in the website soonish. Looking for feedback and potential users.

It seems like you are using IPFS which is p2p which is good but I would still prefer Mastodon since its Federated. Any p2p app leaks IPs of all those who share the data which is really bad for anonymous journalism. With mastodon you can host a instance in a country where they don't sell you out.
But still your app is cool and strive to improve it. Maybe make it Federated.

Yeah I agree open source projects are better with respect to privacy but we already have technology similar to this. If you don't like Twitter then go for Mastodon.

So no way better than a centralized or traditional news. Then what's the advantage in this. We already have twitter, and retweet which seems like the confirmation step.

So you only need to pay/have 10 people to make a fake news? (What happens if you have 100 people to invalidate a real news)
The concept seems very interesting but the execution is not up to mark.

Will see about integrating both in the future..
The documentation is still incomplete, I will fill in the details on how this works to better understand it. And Why we are primarily using Hetzner.
