I suggest using money to convince people to maintain it would be a good course of action.

Wow, rare Hacker News W:
> This is the true problem with AI. It's with who owns it, and what they will inevitably use it for. Whether it can do cool stuff with code or equal a junior developer is irrelevant. What it can do is less important than what it will be used for.
> The owning class will use it to reduce payroll costs, which from their perspective is a cost center and always will be. If you're not an owner, then you have no control over the direction or use of AI. You are doomed to have your life disrupted and changed by it, with no input whatsoever. To quote the article, your six shillings a day can become six shillings a week, and you are left to just deal with it however you can. You are "free" to go find some other six shilling a week job. If you can.
> And if you think, "Oh, every technology is like this, it's always been this way", you are right. You have always been at the whims of the owning class, and barring a change towards economic democracy, where average people regain control over their lives, it likely always will be.

Please enjoy the fruit of my suffering. This took ages.

The closest we get is Kubernetes on top of something like Talos Linux, and even then it sucks lol

2024-10-16 20:24:03 UTC

Your only real bet is to rely on things that are cross-cloud by default (Kubernetes, S3 or something that can speak the S3 API). There's no real way to go multi-cloud without lock-in. There's no real way to go single-cloud without lock-in. There's no real way to go on-premesis without lock-in.
Computers just kinda suck these days because of the capitalist rent-seeking powers that be that demand that everything be forged from the mines of pure suckitude.
