Built a homelab last year. Told myself "ehh skimp on the ram you can upgrade that later"

"Hey this thing is here" and "have this problem try this" are useful enough that even without paid ads people make that content.

The lifestyle manipulation, feeding unfounded fears, biases, anxieties, and rage for almost anyone reason is evil to me.

Is this a "plans are useless but the act of planning is invaluable" kind of thing?

Like arbitrary 15 years increments is basically worthless but you end up with a collection of meaniful epochs inside of those limited frames that it has value again?

Agreed. I'm kind of lucky that my area is full of elderly machinists so garage sales and estate sales are full of tools like that. Even crappy tools that are right there are better than a good tool somewhere else for me.

I do have a common tools basket too. Some pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, hammer.

Tons of open source projects organize their unfortunately

Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.

The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me

I really like meeting up with coworkers and clients every few months, but almost exclusively because wfh makes me so much more productive that going to talk with people AFTER getting stuff done is very valuable.

I never thought I would be able to wfh before honestly I just thought I'd spend my career finding places to hide to work.

Filtered water bottle station? Yes! I don't trust water spouts where stranger put their faces nearby or where wild life has full access too

Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud

I found open standards were easier to push. You can, as an org, force Office to save as OpenDocument formats. Converting records takes some investment too though, but that one REALLY can show why it matters some times too. There are US laws that require documents be in those formats actually, for gov that is.

That also opens up the fringes/early adoptors to use FOSS apps if they can.

I said it before, but I'll say it again. Every bit of liberation makes the next part easier. Even if it's small.

Chew gum and walk at the same time.

Move to FOSS apps. Move away from proprietary SaaS to FOSS SaaS or even IaaS. Move to open standards (qcow vs vmdk, odt vs docx, etc). Move from proprietary OSs to FOSS ones.

The real limitation is, well budget to invest in administration and software development (which moves costs from OpEx to CapEx), and an "innovation budget" which the most amount of new things an orgs given domain experts can juggle at the same time.

That said if have the orgs move to SaaS Element, half self host, some stragglers bridge teams, outliers bridge XMPP, etc etc. It doesn't matter it helps push the ball forward for all of the teams. If some move LibreOffice, some OnlyOffice, some just start forcing their Microsoft Office systems to save to OpenDocument formats, etc etc

All push the ball, every step liberates them a little more so they can more easily do more!

To me the difference is always, why do you believe this is true. A lot of the bullshit stuff is 1. It's possible 2. They don't like the person it's about, and that's it.
