sftpgo is a nice project to host files in a secure way without too much hassle.

While I don’t agree with your first point from my experience, the second one is very true. Especially for memory consumption, your typical Java app easily occupies five times as much as something more bare metal.

The “effective due” is probably even negative because the extra money they’ll fight for will be more than the due.

Also, there’s usually a 2nd safety mechanism that prevents it from popping up.

It’s the amount of legacy it’s carrying on that drives me crazy. Many of the implicit default implementations are confusing. That’s where all these “rule of 3”, “rule of 7”, “rule of whatever” come from. The way arguments are passed into functions is another issue. From the call-side you (sometimes) cannot tell if you’ll end up with a moved value or a dangling reference. The compiler will not stop you from using it. Even if the compiler has something to tell you, it’ll do it on the most cryptic way possible. I’m grateful we have C++, it paid lots of my bills. But it’s also a pain in the ass.

[ is a binary (sometimes a symlink) in /usr/bin. It’s /usr/bin/[ 🤓

Just craft one yourself, it’s not that hard. Chop a few trees for the wood, craft the workbench, dig down a bit for the diamonds and there you go!

Sadly that’s true. I’m in that range and most of my friends use the same password for almost everything. Also nobody does backups.

Then at least make it an option. Just because someone’s grandma doesn’t want to use TOTP or any other reasonable 2FA doesn’t mean nobody else does.

That sounds more like breaking up.

As long as we put that “exclusive content” crap aside, every one of them can potentially offer every song if they agree with the artist. That’s where the video streaming services are different. Disney+ and Netflix had many overlapping shows until the shittification started.

A warm feeling and a friendly invoice. That’s not nothing!

I like the 20$ app-free version. Sounds like a solid business idea 🤔.
