   @mpotter @LambdaCalculus there's no non-corporate way to just "own enough servers you can rent them infinitely", we gotta, as a group, remember that that's a devil's bargain

     • The 500 Hats of LambdaCalculus

     @LambdaCalculus I'd be the "hapless techno-weenie" from Hackers. When I discovered Linux, I was a corporate drone grumbling about the severe failings of Windows NT 4 server.

     I watched as the free software movement pushed juggernauts like Microsoft back into their corner and restored balance to the market. It was enlightened self-interest in action.

     Now, our juggernauts are AWS, etc, and we really need viable free alternatives for both clouds and corporations.
