Their version of “English” is most likely not the same as yours nor mine if they’ve made up 28% of it all by themselves.

Or they’re delusional and consumed more TV and music than they’d like to admit.

The intent was good. However, it seems it’s working very poorly. Hope they fix it before next release. 🙂

I feel like I was misunderstood here. I’m making the same argument you did - it makes little to no sense setting up a VPS yourself if you can just as easily grab your data from the SaaS instance.

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?

You could, I could. The business-owner who decided to hire @anamethatisnt most likely couldn’t. I fail to see the hardware being the pinch point here - adding a sysadmin to your payroll sure seems like the bigger budget outpost.

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.

Sure. But VPS and colocation are not the same, are they?

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?

Yeah, no, with that NIMBY attitude nothing will ever get done. You really think the rest of the developed world got to were they are without some chafing along the way? It’s almost as if you don’t want shit to get better with that typical American defeatist mentality.

Right. Then you’d have to start by making a national education policy. I’m not saying it will be easy (Sweden did by no means get it perfect right away, nor is it perfect now) but unless you start somewhere you won’t ever get to a better place.

The Swedish school system didn’t pop up out of thin air either. Of course you’ll have to invest in the system for it to work.

I guess I did. Sorry about that!

Because Trump was never going to wage a war? Lol. Everyone but R could see it clear as day that Trump would have no interest at all in stopping his Zionist friends from their favorite pastime hobby.
