The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

We’ve seen this move over and over.

Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.

VC funding is basically gambling, trying to find the next billion dollar company. So they throw money at anything that has any semblance of traction to get in early and cash out when the time comes.

NVIDIA didn’t ask to shut it down, but AMD lawyer probably weren’t that hot to what the project had become and AMD asked the creator to shut down the project l, which he did.

But yeah, lots of work wasted caused by pencil pushers and bean counters.

AMD asked them to shut it down. So the guy is going to go back to the pre-AMD release and work independently from there.

My plan is to build a second server that I will leave at my inlaws’ house and use that, but for now, I will rent a cloud while this happens.

Photos was part of my plan, so mega.nz isn’t an option. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I like the thought of having timed backups to keep the costs lower by pruning the olds backups.

Thanks, from another link in this thread, Borg seems to have wrapper options as a complement to its features.

Never heard of it, but I will look into it. Thanks

Thats a great link, it lists a lot of options and gives a good explanation on how to setup the author’s choices.

Thanks for the information, I will look into that.

My goal is that if for whatever reason, my homelab is compromised, I will be able to at least restore my important data.

If i can modify the data on the other end, but cannot from my proxmox, then its fine.

I would like a offsite solution in the future, but for now it’s going to be a cloud for data blob only.

Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.

No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.

If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.

It usually means that their logical thing is pretty good because discrete math is pretty much all that.

You learn a concept, then you modify it to apply to different contexts for different applications.

The math competitions is a good training for that.

It was a hyperbole that companies never give back, but for every company that donates, how many don’t?

If the companies would give back even a fraction of what they generate by using FOSS, then it would be viable for a lot more people to be a FOSS developer.

If what you bring has an immense value, like nodejs where pretty much all the internet runs on it, you shouldn’t have to scrap by or need fundraising skills.

At that point, you’ve become a business. So yeah, you need skill to fundraise.

I think opensource software should always be dual-license. One FOSS for personal use, and an aggressively limited license for commercial use.

Fuck the companies, they will always take and never give anything back. They won’t give you money anyways, so might as well shut them down.

That is naive to think that companies will take your shit for free and give you something back in return.
