I’ve done the on prem design. I’ve migrated people entirely to the cloud. I specialize a little in between.

Without any shred of doubt the cloud is going to be more cost effective than self hosting for 99% of all use cases. They’re priced that way intentionally. You cannot compete with Cloudflare/AWS/GCP/Vultr/Akami/Digital Ocean/etc.

My homelab isn’t about scaling, production workloads and definitely isn’t accessible to anyone but me. I’d argue using it in any other way defeats the purpose and shows a lack of understanding.

This would hurt any country that holds large amounts of US debt like Japan and China.

You clearly do not understand how interconnected the global economy is.

There are three critical parts to an apology. You have to feel regret/remorse, accept guilt and make an effort to correct it/make sure it never happens again.

If all three aren’t present every time then someone isn’t sorry. If they say sorry and don’t make it right or make reasonable actions to ensure it doesn’t happen again then they are a liar and poor company to keep.

That’s not the point. Its unprofessional. Someone is going to smash and grab OPs idea and actually have the skills to host it properly. Probably at a fraction of the cost because OP doesn’t understand that hosting SaaS products out of his house isn’t professional or effective.

Also; cloud is cheaper than self hosting at any small amount of scale. This wouldn’t cost much to run in AWS if built properly. The people who struggle with AWS costs are not professionals and have no business hosting anything.

SLAs?

You’re going to need a redundant ISP and a generator. You’ve left the territory where it’s economical to self host something if that’s what you’re looking at. You still have several other single points of failure.

And I’ll be honest, your setup isn’t ready for an SLA either. Just having a second machine is such a small part of what you need to do before doing any guarantees. Are you using a Dynamic DNS service? What’s the networking setup look like? Router to Compute?

From the sounds of it, you’re not a professional. It might be time to engage an expert if you want to grow this.

That’s my issue. Is he the Union president- because my Unions are struggling around here. Wages went down. The job market got worse and never improved. Jobs being outsourced right and left and when I asked my representatives about it I got some boiler plate responses about hard times.

Biden was a corporate candidate and he’s trying to make us put on rose colored glasses now that he’s gone. He could have stopped ALL of this and he CHOSE not to.

He didn’t do anything for me. I can guarantee you that much. Biden will be remembered unfavorably for allowing Trump to happen again.

Neoliberals will say the most racist things and then act like you have a moral imperative to never criticize their policies.

I think it’s just a vocal minority that is overrepresented online causing the issues, but I promise that’s why most of my extended family votes for Trump.

Them living in fear is a net positive. They should be afraid of us when they abuse and murder us.

If the CEO of Bob’s Store hired Senator John’s son then suddenly zoning issues disappear for his new space. The CEO of Bob’s even donates to several fundraisers for Senator John and makes donations to charities he knows John is a part of. John uses this information to inform his decision on who gets a cushy position position at the charity and if Bob’s competitor will be allowed to expand.

It wasn’t true. It was used to disguise crumbling profits as American shopping habits changed out of necessity.

I voted for Harris, but I think that they’re missing the point. They needed to win over more people with their candidate. You still have to be popular and you don’t have a divine mandate because your opposition is intolerable.

I am a demographic Dems claim to champion, but I haven’t ever seen that support materialize. Somehow they never help me. I vote Dem because I like Rep less. I get not liking Dem as a party. I don’t like them either. This is very prevalent within my communities. It drives voter apathy and pushes moderates to the right. They’re viewed as incompetent in addition to being just bought and paid for as Reps.

They haven’t had a genuine primary in decades. They haven’t tried to connect with small-midsize cities in decades. They’ve completely failed to communicate with their average voters and that is THEIR job to do that. The last minimum wage increase was signed into law by Bush and then Dems sat on their thumbs for three terms. I do not accept “I tried.” I need a party that can win those battles. I’ve tried engaging with my local Democrats, but I get boilerplate responses. I’m fairly sure they’re all chatbots at this point.

And most importantly, it’s hard to root for a perpetual loser. Even when they win they still lose and can’t do anything. It’s never their fault. They just never do anything. I need someone intelligent enough to win. Dems don’t provide that.

They’ll get my vote until anyone else who isn’t a Rep/Fascist has a chance of winning and not a moment longer. It’s so wholly undemocratic that I have to choice between a Kleptocrat or a Fascist.
