Running on 'large donations' is not a viable strategy for any long-term goal. Perhaps its time for Linux to consider running a tiny datacenter of its very own to both dog-feed itself and give itself extra momentum or inertia from donation stall-out?

- kazen44 2y agoso, the linux foundation (or torvalds himself, whatever) should run a entire datacenter right now? You know running an anctual datacenter with all its cooling ,storage, networking and power requirements is a full time job for several people right? Why not put bare metal in someplace which already does that for far cheaper and better?
- 1970-01-01 2y agoSaying it's far cheaper without actual numbers is not saying anything. 10 years in a DC is 14% cheaper than going in with a provider. This donation money can simply be better spent if long term goals are considered.
