Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

That requires the valuation to drop. A ton of people just go with what they know and are only fuelling it, creatures of habit and convenience and whatnot.

Agreed. You’re at the mercy of your USB controllers as well as southbridge in that case.

You’re adding more things that can go wrong.

Generally HBA/RAID cards are usually built for enterprise rather than consumer so they’re usually more reliable as well.

My servers and their systems may have taken a bit to get right, but they’re way more rock solid than anything I use for work.

I know, I know, scale and whatnot. But if we have to turn to FOSS, self-hosted/collab alternatives, a lot of the tech is already really far along.

I describe what Microsoft does as having all of the correct Lego pieces and still fucking up putting it together, every time.

Then taking it apart to put it back together only for it to somehow be better in some ways and much worse in others.

Lather, rinse, repeat, sprinkle in some anti-competitive shit too.

I did this today. Was trying to get a searxng instance running on oracle cloud’s free tier, but it’s so doggedly slow between OS, docker, searxng, that it’s useless and locks up all the time.

And their free ARM option never has availability so I just deleted the instance and started a new one with great speed to burn through my free credits.

Which is one of the only good reasons to still go to the site
