Is that 'Why "Shota"' readme section tongue-in-cheek? Too devilish

Is the source for the blog, open? What do they use to make the interactive charts? Vibe coded new stuff, or based on some existing framework?

MinIO made their source AGPL, but then cloud providers hosted the service "as is" and make money off it, with MinIO team getting zip. That still complies with AGPL but is not monetarily beneficial to the MinIO team.

At least that's my understanding. They closed source completely, but a source-available license wouldn't have run into this issue.

So why exactly did they close source, what were they losing by having AGPL? I thought AGPL + selling private licenses to corps was a fantastic method of getting some income for an open source offering.

Frankly the idea of managing the db myself seems like a horrible idea and a lot of work. But perhaps I've been indoctrinated by the big cloud.
