It is, but also it's worrisome since it means support is harder, which means risk of abandonment is higher and community contributions lower. Which means "buying in" is riskier for the time investment.

Not really criticizing, 10/10 points on making something and then putting it out there, nothing wrong with that. Just being a user who's seen too many projects become stale or abandoned, and have noticed that the trend has some correlation to the technology choices those projects made.

Your commenting on an extremist community where logic doesn't actually matter anymore.

This is a community that started from pointing out serious problems and talking about how they might be solved, to not actually caring about how to solve the problems and just hating and being polarized.

You are 100% correct because using this term is not going to help figure out realistic ways to solve the problem. It's just going to do what fringe groups do, and make actual solutions impossible to start with. Thus perpetuating the problems the fringe group hates, it's their identity, they can't go without it.

Not only does it prevent solutions but it actually pushes out allies and others who are also passionate about the problem because "they aren't extreme enough". (This is me, I despise this problem and want to support anything I can that aims for actual solutions)

I look forward to all the hate spam, downvotes, and the comments. Which would be no different than if I actually commented on a Nazi community pointing out hypocrisy.

If y'all want to actually solve this problem then extreme, generalized, non-logical, blind-hate, stances aren't going to do it. You're literally becoming a sibling of neo-nazis with this, and you're weakening your own position, and alienating your support, by being extremists about it.

Mac OS is Apple to oranges against windows when it comes to OS support?

Conveniently skipped that part and focused on Debian....

It seems worthwhile to set realistic expectations.

Depends on what country you're in.

It doesn't just require 20GB of RAM, it requires that in VRAM. Which is a much higher barrier to entry.

I've been looking a platform for personal blog, portfolio, and what not that's kind of fun to play with without having to build the whole thing myself.

What's your opinion of this project?

I'm honestly not even sure what the author's point is since IIS isn't exactly popular, or even any sort of default these days.

I build using Microsoft technologies, and haven't touched IIs for more than 8 years. I almost entirely use OSS projects, on linux.

From writing, to testing, to IaC, to the runtime, the server OS, the webserver, the proxy....etc is all FOSS projects these days.

The only proprietary things I used is the hosting provider itself and their services, and my IDE.


All that said I want to see Microsoft to succeed simply to spite AWS. We have to have competition, and for the love of god I do not need AWS taking over more of the ecosystem. More competitors more better.

Of course, not everyone is technology literate enough to understand how it works.

That should be the default assumption, that something should be explained so that others understand it and can make better, informed, decisions. .

That doesn't really answer the question since anything that is self-hostable already meets your criteria even if it's not federated.

How is this vitrol adding to the discussion?

What does being federated give it?
