Insure the raft, problem solved!

If the proton guy had only kept his mouth shut… he would have tons more customers in the last 2 months.

In communism the state has control of everything and everything is a monopoly.

QNAP, Asustor, UGreen, Unifi, and many others already offer lower cost NASes from 2 to 8 bays (some might offer even more)

Neff, but it’s exactly the same hardware as Bosch and Siemens (BSH).

We sold the apartment with the 20 year old devices still working perfectly.

Of course you have to pay for a commercial license, it’s in the name. Development, tooling, support, etc, all costs money.

I like the distinction. If you want to profit from open source, make your code open source. If not, pay up.

Redis allows a third option, a commercial license.

I don’t know of any road built for 1.500kg cars. Most are 40t, with some 12t and very few narrow and old ones with 3.5t (and usually have a 30 km/h limit).

To be fair, I know redis and gitea (barely, gitlab is way more popular) and not the other two. Enterprise support and name recognition are quite important for government usage.

I am talking about 40.000kg trucks. Anything below 3.500kg is basically harmless (in comparison).

I only know one electric skoda (Enyaq, the citigo was a fleeting experiment). And the Enyaq is the exact same car as the ID.4 except the interior. Same battery, drive train suspensión, brakes, etc. Same for the Audi Q4. So it seems to me that your subjective feel is not very accurate.

Did you research spare part availability / reparability scores when buying the new one?

I always start with that when buying major items. Some brands are more consumer friendly than others. I was still able to buy replacement parts for my 2005 fridge and dishwasher in 2019 and 2023 for 13 and 100 euros respectively (the 100 euro was a heat exchanger one of the biggest pieces of the machine). With 6 Euro shipping costs, 2 day delivery. And a bunch of YouTube videos to do the repair.

In 2024 we equipped a whole new house with the same brand, voting with our wallets.

Not quite, something like 98% of road damage is caused by trucks. Damage increases exponentially with weight.

Just use home assistant, you don’t need their hubs/apps (assuming they use a standard like Zigbee or zwave). For wifi try tasmota.

If you are in the EU yourself it’s not that bad. All my appliances are actually made in Germany, and they were mid-price (BSH and Liebherr, a bit more expensive than chinese/korean but with better efficiency, warranties and reviews).

Exactly this. Wifi is awesome. Some opaque server on the internet is not. Let me home assistant the shit out that load of dishes.

Even 6 quarters are a tall order to move out of the cloud, depending how much of the managed services you use…

We just need some better European CSPs, ionos or ovh could become it, but they’re not there yet.

Not Eastern ones, Chinese specifically. Japanese or Korean science is generally trusted, but dictatorships have a tendency of making shit up to look better. We’ll believe it when we see it.

China has plenty of achievements, but also plenty of bullshit vaporware. We’ll see which one this is.

That’s not how any of this works.

The weaker and more dependent from a man a woman is, the less likely she will have her own opinions, desires or plans, and less likely she will be to leave the insecure men who want this.
