You have it backwards.

There are some very few specific use case that most companies don’t ever meet that makes AWS cheaper. In the vast majority of use cases it is an order of magnitude more expensive.

It’s never been cheaper. It’s so much easier to scale. It’s never been cheaper. Well, maybe at a very low usage rate. But, at scale, it’s never been cheaper.

Buying server hardware is a lot more difficult and with more lead time than just buying a computer. Plus you then have to build your server infrastructure out in a data center. It takes a lot of time, and specific logistical skills. AWS is far easier to scale your services then doing it yourself, especially if you have extremely high peaks that you have to serve.

If AWS was cheaper then hosting, they wouldn’t make money.

Yes, a website without SSL is very likely a phishing attack, it means someone might be impersonating the real website and so it shouldn’t be trusted. Even if by a fluke of chance you hit the right site, all of your communication with it is unencrypted, so anyone in the path can see it clearly.

No, Google has hit me with this multiple times for sub domains where the subdomain is the name of the product and has a login page.

So, for example, if I have emby running at emby.domain.com they’ll mark it as a phishing site. You have to add your domain to their web console and dispute the finding which is probably automated. I’ve had to do this at least three times now.

All my certs were valid.

They are if you control the network of the egress point which is what the first person said.

And I don’t need evidence for that. If you don’t understand those words, you don’t understand how the internet works.

Not legally. The head of the DNC had to resign, and their lawyers argued in court that because they were a private organization they didn’t have to follow their own rules.

You literally don’t know what you are talking about.

You’re like a computer novice that is only aware of commercialized VPN products thinking you know what you’re talking about but unaware that the commercialized products are open source things that anyone can run, and you’re only paying for the company to run them on their boxes.

Goddammit.

I don’t think it would have fizzled out if Smedley Butler went with it.

You effectively have no user id’s with chatmail relays with DeltaChat. Routing of messages uses the default TCP/IP stack and so you can just use TOR if you want to. Mentioning a chat systems ability to use TOR, as if that should be a part of the chat program rather than the system it self seems strange to me.

I’ve run a matrix server with around 250 local users. The schema Matrix uses is fundementally flawed that leads to excessive resource usage, and the DB is very easy to corrupt. Plus, the encryption key management sucks in comparison to DeltaChat and SimpleX.

Federated servers, Multiple device access without the phone app being open, Decades old tried and true backend protocol that would be a problem to ban.

Definitely continue the fight, but in the meantime, migrate to something like DeltaChat.

It looks like it did

I don’t think it does.

This is the correct answer and should be the top post.

Nothing you wrote was a response to what I wrote.

I also don’t care what you ‘studied’. I lived it. Google and Apple were literally, and this is a quantifiable fact and not an opinion as you seem to be treating it in your response, the 10 person startups that were going against industry behemoths.

Yahoo was, at the time, was a Juggernaut.

I.B.M., at the time, was a Juggernaut.

Google and Apple were once the 10 employee nobodies going against behemoths.

Google also used to have no lock in, as well. It’s original selling point was an open ecosystem with no lock in, unlike Apple.

You’re like a walking definition of ‘those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it’

There are no brain worms.

That was a story he told in court, with no evidence, to justify not giving alimony to an ex-wife he financially fucked with until she killed herself. He then stole her body from her family to bury her in his cemetery.
