It's only just starting, too. It's been a fistful of days.

Things are going to go quickly. There's a lot to dismantle before midterms.

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.

Completely agree. We all must take action, but here isn't a great place to discuss it.

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.

He's still stuck in 2014 and thinks screaming Nazi at everyone who disagrees with him is going to change people's minds.

People like that are just using the performative righteousness as an excuse to bully people.

You are correct. It heavily contributed to their loss. Without international support, or the industries to leverage that support they were isolated, poor and out of manpower.

If Union leadership was better in the beginning we would have seen them rolled much faster.

And they were right to. Sherman and John Brown are national heros and we could use them again.

You'll need a place for the dialogue. Do you know anywhere that would work? I don't know how we can organize at that level, but I'm willing to learn.

They're openly fascists. I don't know why you're trying to split hairs. They're not hiding it.

No you don't. Fascists shouldn't be given time of day. People who don't act with integrity or good faith don't get to sit with civilized society. The ideas aren't valid and don't have any merit. They come from uneducated people who have had their head filled with hate and prejudice. They're not good citizens or decent people. They're hate filled time bombs. They're so mentally weak they gave into hating other people based on prejudices talking heads have them.

They don't get a seat. They're opinion is not valid. They should be ostracized by all civilized society until they stop being antisocial and destructive.

And that's the nice, merciful and patient option.
