They've been anti-open source for a while, they clearly don't see a profit motive without killing off their open source side. Anyone selfhosting or into open source should consider MinIO dead, and migrate. Hopefully someone forks it.

I think this could be solved with a migration window though, and a proper migration path in code. You spin up a new instance, clone your data. Then on old instance it sends a .well-known redirect message, or 301s for everything. Then receiving servers whenthey get that know to update all of their references. You keep it up for however long you think you should for all of the other severs to update.

I love how war for oil part 2, 3, 4 (can't remember now) is backfiring so hard. Every country is seeing this and trying to go independent now out of fear they'll be swept up in the next one too. Except the US of course, guess we love being dependent on other countries

Yes. I grew up that way. In the rural midwest, raised by a single hyper religious mother who probably has some sort of mental thing. She just completely turned herself off from pop culture. I think the latest movie she watched was made in the 60s, and I was born in the nineties. I grew up not knowing any movies, movies stars, music, or anything.

It hurt me deeply because all of my friends would talk about new movies and their favorite actors, and I had to learn how to fake it. They would say did you see so and so and I'd chuckle like I knew who they were talking about.

I remember one birthday asking her for movies, just any popular movies, I didn't even know what to ask for. She got me three, and I remember the newest made one was Tora Tora Tora! Admittedly a decent film, but I was so hurt by it, made decades before my time. What middle school friend would want to come over and watch it with me?

Only as an adult did I realize it wasn't anything like age ratings or holding me back for religion, she truly had shut herself off from the world. She wants absolutely nothing to do with the world. When I got into Lord of the rings finally I watched the films, and read the books cover to cover multiple times and loved them. I carried them around school, had every line memorized (and still watch them annually). I wanted so badly to share them with someone, and asked her so many times to watch them with me, but she never once did. Doesn't even know the plot.

Eventually I just gave up. Christmas a couple years ago I had pirates of the Caribbean on in the background just while cooking and she asked us to turn it off because it was "too scary". I didn't know how to respond to it. I just... Turned it off. She then sat playing on her phone while we all just did things quietly.

When I met my now spouse we started watching everything. I watched braveheart and gladiator within the last couple of years. Big film buff now, and love following actors careers and comparing performances. Its a ton of fun!

I'm apathetic towards my mother for a lot of reasons, but I don't think she fully knows how much she hurt our relationship with it. There's a lot more, but you have to show an interest in what your children like. She didn't. If she didn't understand it or she if it didn't involve her, she would walk out of the room. Now she wonders why we don't get together often, or why I don't talk much to her. I've gone to sewing things with her, quilting, other things trying to reach out to her and express interest in what she likes, but it never went reciprocated, so the branch has withered.

She's always welcome for movie night though.

Thanks for reading

This coming from the company whose CEO openly admits that his products get people killed and he's okay with it.

PC is the largest it's ever been. PC gamer since the 90s and it's absolutely nuts how big it is. It's a shock they're willing to throw a way what is absolutely double digit percentages of players.

We as an American people have been conditioned for decades that we need larger and bigger vehicles when we absolutely don't. This is because smaller cars have stricter regulations thanks to the "light truck" loophole in the CAFE standards. It's literally less regulated, and thus highly profitable to get people to buy trucks instead of cars. The masculine thing, the "It's safer because it's bigger", the "I need space for my family" - it's all generated by marketing teams for car companies to convince each of us that we need a bigger (and less regulated) car.

When really... we don't. We don't at all, and it choosing a truck whether it's intentional or not, is a selfish move. It's large, it's unnecessary, wasteful, it's proven extremely deadly to pedestrians, bicyclists, and children. Choosing a vehicle like that is inherently accepting that you are risking other people's lives, and that's why I'm so against them.

Ignorance is excusable, but once informed then it's no longer ignorance.

If you do it about once a week or more, then you do need it. If you need it any less than once a week, congrats it's a status symbol. How do I know? Because the numbers don't lie, and if you only actually haul monthly - or even every 2 weeks, it's actually phenomenally cheaper to rent a truck from either a rental shop or something Home Depot. Trucks are crazy expensive, their fuel already was astronomical before, and now it's even worse. It's much much cheaper to have a modest sedan/van than it is to own a truck.

Speaking of vans, it's actually more spacious and more carrying capacity to own a decent van than it is to own a truck. Go ahead, test out my knowledge. Vans have more carrying capacity, better fuel mileage, they're closer to the ground so they're easier to load, and they're even covered so you don't need a topper or tool box that takes up even more space.

So in short, if you haul less than once a week, you should have rented and saved a few dozen thousand dollars. If you haul more frequently than weekly, you probably should have bought a van.

Without reading, I'll read it after this, but I'm zero percent surprised. Only people I've seen buy ram trucks are ones who do not care about others and want to be seen as big and tuff.

Hell the vast majority of truck drivers too, sorry not sorry folks but you do not need a truck to drive to your office daily, or to drive the family around, you got it as a status symbol. RAM drivers are just the worst of them all.

It's very interesting that the nukes dropped will be mentioned, but the real death toll of the century was plain simple greed and selfishness. Those two working together have and will kill countless more in the upcoming century

Te line o ly went slightly up, not wildly up. That's bad.

Yeah I feel you, but also, that's just people. Specifically, people on the internet. There is no perfect place where none of that happens, it'll happen everywhere. No matter how you start or how small you are, if you grow eventually you will get assholes, and people disobeying the rules, and trolls, and every shitty thing.

I see it too here, and it's bittersweet. We've grown which is good, but also with growing means more assholes. Even if assholes are ~2% of the users, when the userbase doubles it means we have double the assholes too.

it's what you make of it where. I think we've done as good as a job as we can here, always room for improvement, but personally compared to the random reddit thread I stumble into when researching stuff, I still feel better here.

That makes sense to me then. My worry as a tiny instance owner, is that I'm worried I'll get flooded with requests, that's a lot of traffic I'd be signing up for. Larger DBs, more ingress, any thoughts on that?

It could use a bit more explanation on what I'm registering for in the signup. Am I signing up for your instance? Do you need credentials for a bot account on my instance? If so, what exactly will it be doing?

Ad you were downvote for it. Changing it to be not clickbait and instead what the content is isn't editorializing. You don't have to express your opinion when you reword something.

In either case I don't care about your motivations. It was a clickbait title, I downvoted. If it's not a clickbait title in the future, I won't downvote.

“I feel betrayed, like he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Bright, who has several disabling medical conditions, said. “It’s like high school class president: ‘I’m gonna promise we are going to get pizza every single day,’” Bright said. “Then as soon as they get elected, they are like, ‘Oh, I lied.’”

You're forgetting the parts where everyone was telling you how it was impossible, asking how he would pay for all of the pizza, and then you screaming back "fuck you nerds".

Oh and the fact that we're not in high school and your adult level critical thinking skills should have seen right through the obvious lies
