He's a great guy, but nobody deserves to be a billionaire. He would do great even if he was "just" a multi-millionaire.
I'd honestly much rather have him select where that money goes towards than many governments
Readit NewsAre we defending billionaires again?
Gabe Newell? Yeah. He deserves it frankly.

if someone on the DevOps team knows Nix, option 3 becomes a lot cheaper time-wise! yeah, Nix flakes still need maintenance, especially on the `nixos-unstable` branch, but you get the quickest disaster recovery route possible!
plus, infra flexibility removes random constraints that e.g. Cloudflare Workers have
I'm a NixOS fan, but been using Talos Linux on Hetzner nodes (using Cluster-API) to form a Kubernetes Cluster. Works great too!

This is an industry we're[0] in. Owning is at one end of the spectrum, with cloud at the other, and a broadly couple of options in-between:
1 - Cloud – This is minimising cap-ex, hiring, and risk, while largely maximising operational costs (its expensive) and cost variability (usage based).
2 - Managed Private Cloud - What we do. Still minimal-to-no cap-ex, hiring, risk, and medium-sized operational cost (around 50% cheaper than AWS et al). We rent or colocate bare metal, manage it for you, handle software deployments, deploy only open-source, etc. Only really makes sense above €$5k/month spend.
3 - Rented Bare Metal – Let someone else handle the hardware financing for you. Still minimal cap-ex, but with greater hiring/skilling and risk. Around 90% cheaper than AWS et al (plus time).
4 - Buy and colocate the hardware yourself – Certainly the cheapest option if you have the skills, scale, cap-ex, and if you plan to run the servers for at least 3-5 years.
A good provider for option 3 is someone like Hetzner. Their internal ROI on server hardware seems to be around the 3 year mark. After which I assume it is either still running with a client, or goes into their server auction system.
Options 3 & 4 generally become more appealing either at scale, or when infrastructure is part of the core business. Option 1 is great for startups who want to spend very little initially, but then grow very quickly. Option 2 is pretty good for SMEs with baseline load, regular-sized business growth, and maybe an overworked DevOps team!

Been using Hetzner Cloud for Kubernetes and generally like it, but it has its limitations. The network is highly unpredictable. You at best get 2Gbit/s, but at worst a few hundreds of Mbit/s.

> The child abuse feels like a smaller problem compared to that risk.
I think we can and should all agree that child sexual abuse is a much larger and more serious problem than political leanings.
It's ironic as you're commenting about a social media platform, but I think it's frightening what social media has done to us with misinformation, vilification, and echo chambers, to think political leanings are worse than murder, rape, or child sexual abuse.
Those innocent "political leanings" get people killed. See the ICE killings in Minneapolis.
People having different opinions other than globalists elites is destabilizing to their reign :))

Nobody knows cooling satellites better than SpaceX
This is basic physics lol
Perhaps SpaceX incentive is to lie?

I don't see how this relates to removing SysVinit support from LFS. Choice is good.
That "choice" still has to be maintained. And why spend effort when you can do the same things + more with systemd?

I was previously using headscale and was finding it a bit finicky. Recently switched to self hosted netbird and its been great so far. However, if the Netbird teams sees this, please implement a built-in updater for the client apps! needing to download and install the package again is a bit annoying
Why not use a package manager? It seems way better than letting every app auto-update itself
The US would be better off if it had more money to invest in healthcare and education, and Gabe would still be fine living in a house worth a few millions instead of on a half billion yacht.
