  • That view of open source only applies for non-profits and hobbyists, releasing code that solves their problems altruistically.

    Corporations, startups, and VC’s abuse open source by using it as a means to gain goodwill and trust until they are funded or profitable, then they perform a bait and switch or other parasitic practices; they deserve the hate, and can eat shit and die.

    Also, if you’re not gonna follow semver don’t use semver. Just use YYYY-MM-DD or whatever. Quite simple really.

    Regarding this project; anyone who chooses to use new (thus untrustworthy) foss libraries in prod without version pinning and thorough integration testing is an idiot.




  • Trust is built with time and effort. AI killing the Bazaar “drive-by” approach to contributions was inevitable, and not necessarily a bad thing for critical or complex projects. It’s arguably better to have a high bar for entry and a small group of dedicated engineers, than them spending their time sifting through a mountain of slop from newbies trying to build github activity for their cv.








  • If you use zfs for docker, dbs and vms you don’t have to shut down anything. Just snapshot and send/recv to sync snapshots to another ZFS drive.

    You can even mount and copy the latest snapshot to the cloud with rsync/rclone; probably also borg/restic/kopia. Each applications state will be internally consistent if the snapshot is performed for all data at the same time. If you’re paranoid you can stop everything for a few mins to perform the snapshot, but it’s not really necessary.
