I’m sure there’s loads of ignorant people who still has no idea. But the early adopters were (according to my anecdotal evidence) Musk fans who did the mental gymnastics of “everything good with Tesla/SpaceX/PayPal/… was Musks ideas and works, and any bad things are the work of his underlings”. It was no secret back then that he came from blood money and was born and raised under apartheid. Didn’t stop them from buying the cars.

He became the Tesla CEO 18 years ago. That’s not my definition of “recently”.

I don’t know about “terrible”. All possible actions I can think of sound “glorious” at worst.

I don’t know. I switched jobs somewhat recently (sw development, tech sector) and my new set of colleagues are all Bambu shills. This sort of stuff apparently doesn’t have the reach it should.

Not sure if serious, but you’re aware jellyfin is FOSS and selfhosted, right?

Next week we’ll discuss source criticism. 😊

Yeah, they’re making us look bad despite being somewhat well behaved. 😂

I guess you’re one of today’s “lucky 10 000”. Congrats on that, I’m sorry for being condescending before.

I don’t know about that

Edit: Seems I can’t upload the exact chart I was thinking of, so here’s the hotlink: https://amr-review.org/sites/default/files/Info 4 bar chart white.jpg

And water is wet. More news at 11.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that this shit is being discussed because it needs to change. But imagining this to be news to anyone would give me nightmares.

And thus administering the server yourself proved to be a waste of time and money as the SaaS was just as resilient? I’m still confused.

And the day your VM host exits the market/bumps their prices/decided to pull the rug from under you, your backups that absolutely couldn’t be made in the SaaS instance will magically continue to exist outside of your Cloud VM setup?

I see. And the hardware (realistically for small businesses) one-time payment of say (quite overkill) $10 grand is somehow more prohibiting than adding the sysadmin(s) and whatnot to your payroll? Sounds backwards to me.

So, running a VM in the cloud is somehow different from “running everything in the cloud”? I’m genuinely confused here, willing to bet I’ve misunderstood something.

I’m of the opposite opinion - would you mind elaborating on how a selfhosted-on-nonowned-hardware setup would work?

I did participate in my mandatory military conscription. Was excited for it. Learned some habits that I’m sure have helped me since. Alternative would’ve been jail, which sounded like an overall bad idea.

There are pacifist roles (medics, firefighters, …) for those that don’t want to handle a gun.
