Plot twist:
Private equity buys your registrar and jacks up the renewal price 5x.
Purely on the product side, if I decide to buy it, I wouldn’t buy it for myself. I’d buy it for friends and family who are not that tech literate. Either to make my life easier to give them self-hosted services, or ideally for themselves to be able to do so. I want this product to be a non-shitty, open source “Synology,” from a firm I can trist to support it for a very long time. Doesn’t have to have that form factor. And I’m totally fine with an ongoing subscription. I’d like to be able to say - hey friend, buy this from ACME Co-op and sign up for their support plan. Follow the wizard and you’ll have Immich, Nextcloud, etc. A support plan might include external cloud HTTP proxy with authentication and SSL that makes access trivial. Similar to how Home Assistant’s subscription (Nabu Casa) works. It could also include a cloud backup. Perhaps at a different subscription rate.
I don’t know enough to say what the structure should be but this should not be possible:
But it doesn’t protect you against more insidious forces like the founders selling to private capital
It implies that the founders have more voting power and ownership than the rest of the people in the org. In my mind, everyone should have an equal vote, which should prevent a sale on the whim of the founders or another minority group. If a sale is in the cards, a majority of the people in the org should have to approve for it to proceed. And this shouldn’t be advisory but a legal barrier to pass.
If I were to start a firm today, I’d be looking into this because not only this is the kind of firm I’d like to work in, but I think so would quite a few people in software. And those aren’t the dumb kids.
I can also say that as a customer, the few worker co-ops I’ve able to buy things from give me a much more trustworthy impression than the baseline. They just behave differently. Noticeably more ethically.
I probably would. However it has become increasingly obvious that the flaws with solutions so far have been in the organisation. Not so much the particular hardware or software. If I’m going to buy something I’d like some hope that it’ll be there in 5 or 10 or 20 years. So please if you go serious with this, look into worker-owned organizations because I’m tired of dodging profit-maximizing traps and pretend-non-profit landmines. If the people building and supporting the thing aren’t the ones deciding what to do with the revenue and profit, you’re the only one doing it and you’re going to make mistakes that will hurt them and us. And then you become a landmine to dodge.
It looks like something for a LinkedIn post.
Amen. You’re like a capitalist, but without the capital.
The one thing scrum has succeeded in is creating an industry of people that get paid to do little work, which is fine as long as they don’t take themselves seriously enough to get in the way. Bullshit jobs are a needed feature of a well run economy.
So far one of the best use cases for AI in software engineering has been identifying idiots and sociopaths.
This is the way. I’m up since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on this machine. Platform swapped from AMD Phenom, to Intel i7, to AMD Ryzen, now with a bigger Ryzen. SSDs from a single SATA, to NVMe, to a 512G NVMe mirror, to a 1G NVMe mirror. The storage went from a single 4T disk to an 8T mirror NAS, to 8T directly attached mirror, to 24T RAIDz, to 48T RAIDz. I’ve now activated the free Ubuntu Pro tier, so if Canonical is still around in 2032, this machine can operate for another 8 years with just hardware swaps on failure.
Oh yes, this totally makes sense without an extension on mobile. Thanks for the update!
One more Q - is your ArchiveBox setup able to save pages that require login? E.g. paywalled news articles that you have subscriptions for, some other stuff behind auth?
Makes sense. I currently have ArchiveBox setup but it doesn’t automatically save anything. I was thinking about getting it to save bookmarks. I guess I’ll setup Linkwarden to try out the workflow too.
Doesn’t Linkwarden play the role of the bookmarks manager? Doesn’t/can’t it save all that’s bookmarked in it?
Has anyone compared its page archiving feature to ArchiveBox?
Cat 5e does 2.5Gb. Getting higher spec cables might increase the probability of them being well made to spec but other than that, what you really need is good quality cables, Cat 5e or otherwise.
Well if it can’t do the spec, then it’s not Cat 5e is it. 😅
You’re making me nervous.
But then again, all my Pis are OpenWrt now which barely writes, so I’m probably fine. 😅
Any failures of SanDisk Extreme Pro / Samsung Evo Plus?
I buy the redundancy argument. I’d still use ZFS for that if possible though. 😂 All my machines use mdraid 1 for their system drives but now that I know enough about ZFS, I’d likely use it on root next time around.
All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard…
