The whole point of my company using Bedrock is so that we knew our data wasn't being shipped off anywhere. This means we will a) block Mythos-class models at the organisation level and b) further consider using smaller, self-hosted models for our purposes. Nice footgun Anthropic.

I'd be careful with the name and the way you're describing it, as Nintendo are notoriously litigious. Best of luck with the project, though!

I don't know where these mythical "good people" are, but they have been few and far between in my experience. People _will_ let you down, people _will_ disappoint you, even the so-called "good" ones, even family. I don't have the same opinion of AI as the OP, I've never used it for anything other than questions that needed answering or work related stuff, and I don't think I could ever use it for personal things, but I agree that people overwhelmingly suck.

Looks pretty neat. Would be nice if you could point it at a cluster to view deployed applications somehow to see what is defined and what _could_ be defined, but aren't.

SAML was just an example - I didn't see the PR before I made that post. That said, it feels fundamentally incompatible to a business strategy where your community edition is able to offer all of the features of the premium offering. I just can't see how that business would be able to survive if they allow that to happen.

I'm always dubious of freemium software, because the free version is always gimped in some way, be it SSO compatibility (OK, yours supports OIDC it seems so that's not _terrible_), role-based access controls, high availability, etc.

I will concede that businesses probably _should_ be paying for good software that is critical to their business to help support the vendors, but given how important cost savings are to companies these days, one can hardly blame engineers looking for cheaper offerings.

This is nice in theory, but what happens when a community member wants to implement SAML for the community edition, or other premium features?

Be aware that AWS Backup is _very_ expensive. We recently stopped using it and switched to AWS DataSync, which is an order of magnitude cheaper. If you want to go even cheaper, S3 replication (not delete markers) will do it for even less.

Backup to S3, use the above to copy it elsewhere.

Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College would disagree.

I can highly recommend it. Have been using it for a couple years or so now, haven't had any serious issues.

This seems hard to believe, given how many different modems from different sources you can use, as well as thirdparty ones. Source?

Seems like https://kitops.org/ but fewer features.

I like Pop_OS! from System76 quite a lot. They also peddle their own hardware (I use a custom desktop), so you can be reasonably sure their stuff will work with it. Quite excited about the new DE they're building too.

This is true, there are a select few that use a particular anti-cheat that doesn't work on Linux and that's unfortunately unavoidable. That said, as others have stated, several of them do work like Easy Anti-Cheat, which means I can happily play those online without getting kicked.

As someone that ditched Windows for Linux over a year ago, I have to say I haven't really looked back. I can do anything I need to, and I don't need to worry about all this garbage. I can play all the games I want to play, even brand new releases, usually with little to no tinkering.

If you're technically minded, and are at least somewhat familiar with Linux, I can't recommend it enough. I wouldn't recommend it for a layman though; I did have to do some initial tinkering to get it spot on.
