I think challenging the consensus is equally needed (and high time in this regard, IMHO). To me, 'open source' lost its meaning a while ago, and I welcome new ideas in this space.

I don't think they meant to say they can't do it, more that they don't want people to use github pages for those use cases, otherwise a lot of people would move their high bandwidth and relatively expensive to host sites to g

Looks interesting, well done. I'm using (and am extremely happy with) Hasura. Apart from supporting non Postgres dbs, what differentiates this?

Exciting, very nice idea, I'll keep my eyes on this. It happened more than once that I had need for something like this, and I stewed over how to implement it for quite a while now. Haven't looked at it in detail yet, but from a f

I'd imagine it's because it's available everywhere (even openwrt routers and those things), and it's easier to get away with not having to use sudo (depending on the task you are doing, of course). With Ansible, you almo

Agree. Although I personally prefer Ansible to the alternatives, the one thing I don't like is that it does require python to be installed on the target hosts for most modules. That's not a problem usually, but every now and then

Yes, plus you often get updates nowadays, which, depending on the domain of the book, can be pretty important.

That's not unique to sharing ideas, unfortunately. Lots of people actually share their implementations, and also get beaten over the head with a stick...

Nice, well done! I'm using Metabase at the moment, which I quite like, except for a few little annoyances. What was your motivation for writing this, and where do you see insights differ from the current main players like metabase, sup

Interesting, thanks for posting! I like how people start trying out new license models while still trying to keep their products as open as possible. Since this is a desktop application, not a Saas, and you opted for a subscription model: w

This is basically what Qubes does. I quite like it, and it is surprisingly useable considering what's involved. Still, stopped using it after a while because running a 'native' OS is just less friction, and I didn't thin

But all this doesn't leave contributors without any rights: they can still decide to band together and fork the whole thing. Even after signing CLAs and having contributed to the original codebase for a while.

In addition, I'm not sure using MySQL as an example makes a whole lot of sense. After all, that project was forked and the 'freer' alternative won out, so said 'seedy' behavior wasn't really a winning strategy.

Of course nobody suggested that, that's far off the point I was trying to make. If it's harder to do, less people will do it. Whereas I'd like the opposite to happen. If you take away the option to dual-license, it becomes ha
