How did these three convince software developers that hooking up your own computer to the Internet is impossible?
>>107863867the right question is how did os creators force everyone to use software as service.and the answer is by making all oses as incompatible as they could make them, then offer a "solution" through shitty javascript and browsers.once the users were trained into using their powerful machines as mere terminals and accepted sharing all their data with mossad, software developers just accepted the paradigm
I will never work in the tech industry even for triple digits. I'd rather stay a wageslave and make slop with my gaming GPU. I'm looking for ways to break the system not succumb to it. Any tme I see a login prompt, I run for the hills
>>107863867this is like saying "how did car brands convince people you can't build your own car"the point is to just rent the working software and get guaranteed uptime without maintenance hassle, as opposed to having to set up and update everything yourself. Last client I worked at hosted their own amqp and had to merely update, what happened was a complete shitshow. Rent a cloud queue, it just werks 24/7
>>107864144Yeah building a car is the same difficulty level as setting up a server, as evidenced by nobody using simple LAMP stacks for the entirety of 1998-2005
>>107863867By being cheaper than hooking up your own computer to the Internet.In terms of time (effort to do it, fighting your ISP which may not allow internet facing hosting) and money (staffing, hardware/software/etc. costs)
>>107864350Fair, but compared to VPS’s?
>>107863867Try to colo your own server for a year or two and it will permanently cure you of any desire to manage physical server hardware. I hope to never be reminded of the existence of BMCs ever again.
>>107864535Random 15 year old browns in the 90s managed to run servers on their own for unreal tournament. What does that say about the average “””techie””” today?
>>107864535NixOS solves this
>>107864230not the same difficulty level but if I have a choice between setting up infra like a queue host myself and having to keep it updated integrated and up, vs just renting the same thing for a lesser cost than the maintenance work will ever be and without the risk of things like botched updates, I know what management will say and for once in my life I'd agree with them
