The Reddit commenter who said "Everyone is charging for IPv4, except AWS (until now)" is uninformed or lying. I've been on Oracle Cloud Always Free selfhosting my mail and web services for months now including free IPv4 publi

I understand their position, I recently had a chat with a guy in DevOps, I'd made a request I knew would take at most, 5 minutes. He said he'd try to get to it by the end of the week. That would potentially have caused my story to

Ah, that explains the poorer performance when comparing to AWS or GCP, now it makes sense, thanks!

Yup, originally had Nexus One, found out it couldn't be upgraded after a couple of years because of the decision to make the installation space so small. Upgraded to Nexus 4. Battery expanded like a blowfish after a year. Bought a Nexu

When the word "force" is involved, it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate things.

As a mostly backend dev, maybe I'm biased but all the tech you listed there isn't layers of stuff. Each of those do something different. For all but FAANG, kube is overkill. Helm is just templating. The rest existed before DevOps
