I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.
I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.
Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.
I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.
I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.
Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.
Reinventing the wheel is exactly why we should use open source libraries.
Expanding on other unintended outcome here: Different projects have different values. This takes no account for something like Spring vs Apache Commons IO. Or Rails vs nokogiri.
Libraries will be incentivized into breaking apart to maximize revenue.
This isn’t really unlike the unintended consequences of health insurance and how it leads to overpriced services with lots of indecipherable codes for service.
It’s about how the system rewards (pays) for the service. I’m all for supporting open source, but the proposals in this thread are disturbingly anti open source.
This wouldn’t work for a few reasons, but the most glaring is that it would incentive re inventing the wheel.
I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)
Plus shit like Maven and Gradle leave nothing to the imagination.
Isn’t it wonderful?!
Embrace boring software development practices. You’ll get good rest on the weekends and have a long and productive career.
I can’t stop laughing at this. Thank you!
I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.
I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don’t accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).
We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don’t need or want the expensive support contracts.
OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).
