"we need a one-time expenditure to get PeerTube ... equal to YouTube" software is never a one-time expenditure. Even more so than usual for something as large

"we need a one-time expenditure to get PeerTube ... equal to YouTube"
software is never a one-time expenditure. Even more so than usual for something as large and complex as YouTube.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoTell that to djb. Software is a continuing expense because software developers want to justify continuing to get paid. Tell me what I get from YouTube today, that I should care about, that I didn't get five years ago.
- lhopki01 6y agoWhat is djb? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything that made sense.

- jefftk 6y agoThis approach doesn't work, not even for DJB. For example, take qmail: https://www.abuseat.org/qmailhelp.html https://www.abuseat.org/qmailhelp.html Qmail does late bounces for a very specific reason: since it was architected and implemented long before spam became a serious problem, Daniel J. Bernstein (DJB) implemented Qmail in a highly efficient, but inflexible way. ... Qmail is essentially dead - there is no further development on the project as a whole, users of it are stuck with an old core, and lots of ad-hoc and sometimes conflicting patches. In other words, an obsolete design, and no ongoing coordinated maintenance.
