All I can say is nobody answers online surveys anymore it seems :( I tried and failed hard with that. Speaking it people directly gave me more insights.

The best approach is to build a prototype and test the waters.

This says RHEL builds on top of linux. Isn't every SaaS out there built on linux? They are all obligated to now release their code? I don't get it.

I see. But I thought RHEL is a distribution. The issue here is that they are making patches to software and keeping all the patches behind a paywall ? My understanding is that packaging source code can be any license, not needed to be GPL.

Can SQLite have multiple processes writing to the same database? Is this safe?

Want to hear alternate view points. Why is Red Hat obligated to release source code. They had done this in the past, for decades. They are trying something else now. Why hold them on the hook for this? Practically all companies use Linux and open source. Barely any contributes or keeps their source code open. For example, no hosting company I know has their code open. Practically no SaaS has code open (sure, you can give me 10 examples, but I can you 1 million examples in the contrary).

> For work, I know when my work is great because co-workers and managers praise it: "nice fix", "some really good insights here", etc.

They only said nice and good though not great. I would say if your CEO came down and said that's awesome, then it's great work. (for you)

As for me, I don't think too much about word semantics. No advice can be given or taken if you take each word apart. We will just keep arguing about details and miss the point.

I feel same about salaries. Paying monthly salary is a scam. Can I buy your time for life for a 1 time payment?

But seriously, calling subscription a "scam" is very delusional. It seems like you have not released a product/saas. I support your effort in supporting and contributing to opensource though.

1000 euros for rent seems absurdly low. I don't think this is true in Berlin anymore. If you have a family, rents are around 2k.

may I ask what position/salary you were offered?

looks interesting. Why is there no release though?

> It’s what I love about HN. Sure, most of us wouldn’t mind being rich (sorry, ‘financially independent’), but it’s not the driver. The driver is to make something cool; to make something better.

Is this sarcasm? If it's genuine, I can think of many reasons. Either you are too young or wearing horse blinds or not living in the valley. Practically every start up is driven by a desire to be rich. This is why everyone sells to make millions at the first opportunity. They objectively have made the tech industry a worse place.

> Mis-hiring a ton of people to only let lots of people go shows a untrustworthy dishonest shallow character.

How many people in HN do you think have moved out of gmail/google ? The answer is obvious - very few have. So, we have two theories:

* Either, most people don't think what you said is true.

* Alternately, people think what you think is true but don't care enough. This is like workers in china etc. This is just moral high standing. Expecting great character but not making a change oneself.

So, yeah, nothing will change. 100% sure.

Not sure why they have so many tiers. After all, they have per search pricing once you hit a limit anyways. Quite confusing.

I know this is a ELI2 but what about that stray dog? Nobody celebrated its birthday.

For love life, pay attention to quality of sex (and lack of). Over time, this gives you an idea of where the relationships is heading. Rarely are there good relationships without sex and viceversa.

Do you know how much they paid?

+1 for the Cloudron recommendations. You can use it to selfhost nextcloud and many other apps on linode/digitalocean/hetzner/vultr/what have you.

This is getting ridiculous. Can this stop being a Stripe support forum?

I am selfhosting using Cloudron. Works great and I haven't really had any deliverability issues as such (Digital Ocean with Postmark relay)

Yes, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-byoi...

Why the whataboutism? Just cheer the progress.

Sorry, I was commenting on the "not to have on a server" part. People have far more sensitive stuff on servers. Surely, CRM info of a big contract has way more at stake that notes about our mother in law. In fact, we have centralized all this sensitive customer data of so many big companies of the world in another company.

So... you are just going to ignore Salesforce? One of the biggest SaaS with all customer relationship data.

He is free to write whatever he wants. What's the problem?

I can't quite understand what the author's problem is. There's a bunch of conclusions without actually explaining the problem.

The server is in my house though. I don't think it will get stolen.

well, I also have my passport, visa, house documents and what not. I don't lock them up in a safe. So, yeah, all this really depends on how much you worry about robbery. Atleast , where I live, there is practically 0 robbery.

I don't use a VPS, I selfhost with a home server.

Apps - I selfhost most of my stuff. Very similar to https://axbom.com/indieweb/

OS - Ubuntu everywhere

Online Storage - This is part of my selfhosting stack. My server is in my house (but accessible from internet), no need for at rest encryption.

Social Media - Not much apart from some reddit and HN. Never got into other things.

There are various degrees to self hosting. If you say I made this bread from scratch, one can always ask if I planted the wheat plant or grounded the flour or squeezed that oil etc. The fact is still that I made this loaf of bread. Self hosting is such a term, it's a matter of degree, people just get very pedantic about this. The alternative is to not "just buy bread from amazon".
