  • It seems worthwhile to set realistic expectations.

  • It doesn't just require 20GB of RAM, it requires that in VRAM. Which is a much higher barrier to entry.

  • I've been looking a platform for personal blog, portfolio, and what not that's kind of fun to play with without having to build the whole thing myself.

    What's your opinion of this project?

  • I'm honestly not even sure what the author's point is since IIS isn't exactly popular, or even any sort of default these days.

    I build using Microsoft technologies, and haven't touched IIs for more than 8 years. I almost entirely use OSS projects, on linux.

    From writing, to testing, to IaC, to the runtime, the server OS, the webserver, the proxy....etc is all FOSS projects these days.

    The only proprietary things I used is the hosting provider itself and their services, and my IDE.


    All that said I want to see Microsoft to succeed simply to spite AWS. We have to have competition, and for the love of god I do not need AWS taking over more of the ecosystem. More competitors more better.

  • Of course, not everyone is technology literate enough to understand how it works.

    That should be the default assumption, that something should be explained so that others understand it and can make better, informed, decisions. .

  • That doesn't really answer the question since anything that is self-hostable already meets your criteria even if it's not federated.

  • Pretty sure the only reason any org uses teams is because it's already bundled for free with office or Enterprise subscriptions.

  • It's a high level memory managed language. Usually this by itself means it's an accessible language.

    Combine that with .Net being one of the better if not the best standard libraries/frameworks out there, and it being one of the top five most popular languages in the world, means it's highly accessible to new and experienced programmers.

  • Do you have alternative theories? Or are you just armchair dunking?

  • I don't think it's a lazy cop out at all it's recognizing a complex issue that interweaves into the new realities of life for young adults.

    What you stated is the lazy cop out, you're dismissing an entire problem space at the wave of a hand without critically thinking about it.

    Everything is connected. An example would be heavy social media use being correlated to lower critical thinking capabilities, lower attention span, and more extreme political and emotional swings lead to a population being more manipulable and less cohesive.

    Causing them to vote and act against their own interests at the behest of whoever has enough money to influence them though channels they "trust". Thus influencing a degrading social and financial situation.

  • I mean yeah it probably would. But that's essentially just blackmail.

    For there should be is an entire branch of government dedicated to regulating and auditing data security in large corporations.

  • As of today I'm actually in a lucky position where I am now able to set up a secondary NAS at my brother in laws and use that as a backup server that I can back up to essentially in real time.

    All it'll cost me is the hardware and the electricity.

  • Yes.

    I'm sure one can reasonably infer that I do not mean 30 meters.

    Conveniently at highway speeds 30 minutes and 30 miles away are essentially equal.

    I'll try and use appropriate notation next time

  • I might be crazy but I have a 20TB WD Red Pro in a padded, water proof, locking, case that I take a full backup on and then drive it over to a family members 30m away once a month or so.

    It's a full encrypted backup of all my important stuff in a relatively different geographic location.

    All of my VM data backs up hourly to my NAS as well. Which then gets backed up onto the large drive monthly.

    Monthly granularity isn't that good to be fair but it's better than nothing. I should probably back up the more important rapidly changing stuff online daily.

  • I think their point is where is the line and why is the line where it is?

  • Sure, but you find out about things hours days or even weeks after they happen.

  • Why are you so surprised that people are using Reddit and talk about Reddit on the literally /c/reddit

    Imagine going to /c/StarTrek and telling people to stop watching Star Trek as they talk about it.

    GTFO with that crap.
