*Martial law…

Could last years? Or months? Depends on a lot of factors. Fans may not like running 24x7, memory could fail, etc.

Just be prepared for what you would do if it does.

Since it’s a public instance you’d want to be sure to keep it pretty up-to-date with new system patches and the latest stable versions of Nextcloud. If you’re comfortable with automating updates with ansible, k8s, docker-compose, etc. then it’s not a big deal. If you’re ssh’ing to a server to manually update things then it’s going to be a lot of overhead and likely forgotten.

Old hardware may also bring its own issues and you’ll need backups especially since old hardware (especially consumer-grade stuff) can fail very unexpectedly. And providing support for users is a whole… other thing…

I like the idea of starting with the “old laptop in a basement” approach as a way to get things going to see if the service provides benefit then look to migrate to a more stable platform in the future.

It’s you who says it’s not a literal use. But I’m protesting even a figurative use since there is NO way the act is THEFT. I didn’t steal, in any sense, something that is given to me for free.

It can’t be any sort of “theft” if you leave it on the curb with a sign saying “Free” next to it.

I thought I was perfectly clear that I was being pedantic?

Standard disclaimer: Yes they were all women of color. Yes the subtext is that it applies generally. No I’m not saying anything else that you’re assuming I’m saying. I’m not saying this is the biggest issue or that there aren’t other more important problems. I’m just saying the quote is wrong.

It makes sense - I think the “terrorism” compinents were always a longshot.

The intent of the BSD licences is to allow you to do what you want without reciprocating though. It’s not an accident, it’s explicitly stated. It is, in fact, your right. You profiting from the work of others is an intended result.

I prefer GPL myself for this reason. But you can’t blame companies for obeying the terms of the licence.

You can’t but a mega-yacht with “credibility”.

They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

Emphasis mine.

Honestly, I don’t know how pointing out that this was said about specific black women makes any difference to the quote. You seem to think it’s important.

Because quotes mean that it’s exactly what a person said. That’s the point. If you alter the quote you use [] to indicate the bits that have been paraphrased. It’s the intellectually honest way to quote.

I dunno man - maybe if you just called me an asshole a few more times I’d be nicer to you. 🤷

But it’s not stealing then is it?

They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

“Here you can use this as you like, no questions asked”

“Hey! Why did you use that in a way that I told you you could!?!?”

Why do you think otherwise?

Welcome to the internet! I hope you have fun here.

You think people both followed a link and read the contents of the page it led to?

I mean - I’m not frustrated - more amused than anything else. My hypothesis is that nobody actually read the snopes link and just assumed it said something otherwise. 🤷

Oh yeah. If I just posted that the quote was bad I surely wouldn’t be currently defending myself against accusations of “supporting Nazis”.
