I don’t think it is that is more polished, it’s just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.
Why bother self hosting at all then? Paying somone else to do it for you and the deal constantly getting altered is pretty what you signed up for.
That’s because you had somone elses servers doing that part for you.
Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…
It’s a donation that is deceptively framed in my opinion, bit of a dark pattern, but the product is fully open source so most give it a pass.
Worse they often report issues that affect them but still don’t commit resources to resolving those issues.
Indusputable proof of ownership of what exactly? The expired domain the nft points to? Nope. Whatever the link once pointed to? Nope. You only have owner ship of that particular urls representation in that particular block chain which confers you exactly nothing else. Not much different to the state you’d be left in with skins in a defunct game as I said.
Sure, but your entry in the block chain that is just a link to nowhere isn’t much more exciting that telling people about the cool skin you once had in a defunct game.
IMO these kinds of poor man’s automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn’t be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it’s risky behaviour and the fact they don’t then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.
That said, let’s not gate keep. If novices don’t want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they’ll not be able to fix easily if it doesn’t, at least it’s a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.
I personally manage my services using ansible, I only set up the actual infrastructure, the virtual machines that run the services, with terraform/opentofu. Docker is one of those in the middle tech between infrastructure and software distribution and it makes more sense to me to treat a service as a role in ansible do I can deploy it (docker, podman package install or whatever), sort it’s networking and handle it’s configuration all in one place. I’m not saying the way you do it is wrong, but this is just a step down the automation rabbit hole.
It doesn’t appear your setup provisions the actual hosts for docker so I guess you are provisioning manually for that layer? That is another area you might want to leverage opentofu for?
Also congrats on actually documenting it in a consumable way for others to learn from.
There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it’s probably just running off the normal blend.
Hence the term “sunk cost fallacy”.
Are you suggesting that AAA games are such premium, high quality products they should only be experienced by a few wealthy individuals who can afford the budget to buy them? Because that is what your analogy suggests.
But once you have it’s output, unless you already know enough to judge if it’s correct or not you have to fall back to doing all those things you used the AI to avoid in order to verify what it told you.
So much negativity, regardless of motivation shouldn’t we applaud big companies for doing the right thing and reward them? Or are we all just going to fall over ourselves to give TakeTwo our money for GTA6 after they’ve screwed with the community?
OpenRA is just a set of fan games though skinned to look like the originals, this code is the real deal to play the original gane content. OpenRA only has remakes of the early games too, the source release has Renegade and General/Zer Hour.
Bioware has been replaced a person at a time ship of theseus style with lesser quality staff, the magic has long departed and it’s just another mediocre studio now trading on a name.
Just like pretty much all media ever really. It’s not like many novels, songs, movies and TV shows are world wide hits either.
All a NAS is is a separation of concerns, if you build a system who’s only job is to provide networked storage, then that system is a NAS. If you buy an off the shelf “NAS” and proceed to run a bunch of services on it, that is a home server, not a NAS. Build your own NAS and most of your concerns go away.
Those are the the ones that somone has managed to find in closed source software…
