MinIO is really gutting the open source version. I also found it confusing that all of their docs are for AIStor, which I guess is the same product that was rebranded. I suppose open source is not immune from enshittification.
Open source can be enshittified. FOSS with many contributors should be basically proof against being fucked with.
yeah, I adopted it last year and I probably wouldn’t have picked it today. I’m glad that despite of that, in the end it’s just an S3 compatible storage and, thanks to that, it’s not too difficult to replace.
It’s resistant, though, specifically because you can fork it. Don’t like where things are going? Like the features of a previous version? Fork that version and run with it.
It does mean extra work for somebody to maintain that forked version, but the option is nonetheless there.
Quite true, and to that point, here’s the fork for the missing open source admin UI: https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser
FUTO (popularly associated with Immich and Louis Rossman) received some backlash for subverting third-party donor guidelines in the conducting of its grant program
selfh.st should recieve some backlash for subverting the reason for the FUTO backlash in this summary.
The guidelines fuckery is just the decor. The main part of the whole cake is: FUTO platforms a guy that calls himself a fascist and talks racist gibberish.
Drew’s post is linked though
The fascist connections really took me by the surprise as foss noob. Makes switching from closed source a quite bit more challenging having to navigate around supporting bad actors.
Navigating around supporting bad actors in the foss community is probably far easier than in the closed, commercial software space, given that all the code, discussion, and money are out in the open.
Also I think the proportion of fascists and bad actors in the foss community is probably lower than elsewhere in the first place, given that the community is based on the free and open sharing of work and knowledge.
The capitalists are also fascists so don’t worry about it
Which fascist connections?
FUTO has ties to Curtis Yarvin
That’s also a very bad name
That home assistant post is amazing. My wife is cracking herself up over the comments.
I agree with what the commenters say, but it’s ridiculous that all the OPs normal responses are downvoted to hell. ok people tell them what they think, but after that they should just scroll further and forget about it.
but it also reminds me of some other reddit posts where I have seen such a weird votes pattern. most top level comments heavily upvoted, plenty responses to those heavily downvoted. at some posts it was obvious vote manipulation, and others called it out too. maybe that is what’s happening there too?
but just consider this: post has a score of 500, 91% of voters upvoted it. how is it possible then that with few exceptions all OP responses are so heavily downvoted.
