Wow, there's a lot of whining in here about this it being a 'real server', hardware limitations, etc etc. Did none of you read the actual web page? This is clearly not targeted at anyone with requirements for rack mounting, let alone dual PSUs and OOB management. This is aimed squarely at the 5 man shop with an old laptop sharing some files (ps - there's your backup power):
From the copy
"The server for everyone.
macOS Server is perfect for a small studio, business, or school. And it’s so easy to use, you don’t need your own IT department."
And
"Small studios, retail shops, even home-based businesses can all benefit. It’s simpler than ever for people without much networking experience to set up and host macOS Server. "
So yeah - If you've heard of devops or need to spec out BTU and rack space for your servers this is not for you.
- cknoxrun 10y agoThe herd mentality I am seeing regarding recent Apple announcements, from a supposedly intelligent, introspective group of people on HN, is frankly disappointing.
- forgottenpass 10y agoWhat? You're kidding, right? HN is almost always a herd. The only thing the Apple announcements have going for them are that multiple herds are clashing.
- cknoxrun 10y agoYou may be right, I think I am able to generally filter out FUD posts, and there is still a high concentration of quality exchanges that I enjoy. My comment stemmed from the fact that I've noticed this trend to be more extreme than usual in this case.
- chmaynard 10y agoAgreed. On Hacker News, it often seems as if everyone has an opinion about everything and feels compelled to share it immediately, without doing any investigative work or deep thinking first. It's a race to the bottom.
