Re-posting an old fedi post of mine:

So, SourceHut is not hosted in anyone’s cloud. I own all of the hardware outright and colocate most of it in a local datacenter.

I just built a new server for git.sr.ht, and boy is she a beaut. It cost me about $5.5K as a one-time upfront cost, and now I just pay for power, bandwidth, and space, which runs about $650/mo for all of my servers (10+).

Ran back of the napkin numbers with AWS’s price estimator for a server of equivalent specs, and without even considering bandwidth usage it’d cost me almost TEN GRAND PER MONTH to host JUST that server alone on AWS.

AWS is how techbro startups pile up and BURN their investor money.

lol, what a fight

@fluffy @Moon don't assume that because i wasn't sure if you wanted to hear my argument that i didn't have one. i don't fetishize versions, in fact as time goes on i care less and less about new versions and more and more about software that works. but i do believe in upgrading for improvements. what are those improvements? https://snarky.ca/why-python-3-exists/ here's an article i agree with.

sure python2 works but i think the maintenance overhead in supporting it, backporting bugfixes, finding new security flaws, etc etc etc is not worth it. especially when considering how many whole-ass runtimes to embed in your large C codebase.

these are all reasons to upgrade.

if Glimpse is willing to support 2 and 3 good for them but i also would not fault them for dropping 2.
