Disclaimer: I'm totally biased here. I talked with a colleague from Oxide in 2024 about your Kubernetes story and he said back then "not yet but soon-ish". Seems like soon-ish is now :) We said we'd talk again when that

Partially. Yes. Look at the budgets of these orgs and you'll see what I mean. I use the term similar to who it's used for non-profit. The orgs I'm involved with are almost exclusively not involved in the actual standards crea

As someone working in standardization: I don't know any standardization organization where the people doing the actual work of writing standards are paid for their work. I certainly am not. In the organizations I know - including ISO -

Because of bureacratic overhead. We did employee people from other EU countries in the past because I personally honestly don't care where someone is from or where someone lives. But you need to learn the rules of every country. And th

This is a terrible idea in my opinion and it's been tried/is being tried by services like thanks.dev. Yes, we need something here but this is not it. The reality is more complex. It doesn't work well in practice. Because then

A battery truck is allowed to have 42 tons. I'm no expert but a far stretch but if this most basic fact is already wrong then my trust in the remaining stuff diminishes. On top of that they is only relevant if all truck loads were limi

In case it makes you feel better: I wondered the same thing. It's not explained anywhere on the blog post. In that poste they assume everyone knows how pricing works already I guess.

That is not true. There is a process, it's usually tedious but it exists. I did it for Singapore, the US and Israel. They mostly took multiple months but I never wanted to take any chances. For the US it was a "B-1 in lieu of H-1B

Not commenting on the substance but on the https://opensourcemaintenancefee.org/ homepage itself. It only works in dark mode and is unreadable in light mode. The repo doesn't allow opening issues. Maybe the author read

In Europe this is already happening. There are dedicated companies for this (Milence) and the traditional operators have truck charging parks as well.

These do exist already. The Electrictrucker also has a video about this. They can be combined with a EV truck as a range extender or with a regular truck to save on gas/diesel.

Agreed. And for me that has nothing to do with announcement vs. notes. "We sped up new file creation, so you can now create a new file in under 20ms, a 100x speedup from v1.2." No. You had a big bug. You fixed it. Excellent. When

Our customers are mostly on-prem and we usually hope they have a storage appliance (Netapp, Dell, VAST, ...). But for those wanting other options and self-host something it's not clear cut.

Which alternatives are there though? Honest question. - Ceph - SeaweedFS - Garage - CubeFS - Apache Ozone Do any of them fill the niche that MinIO sits in? (Relatively easy to set up and operate and with all the typical enterprise bells &am
