It's really not meant for public facing servers. Now people will say it can but sandstorm like any other software can be hacked into doing whatever. It's meant to host "documents", think Google docs style hosting. You can make documents public which is quite different from a public server.

Would we put foxconn related in the QR code of all apple software etc also ?

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying but this is hardly the solution. I don't think people are against killing of animals, we have been doing this since man was born. What we are against is modern industrial animal farming.

While the core product is typically maintained by a central engineering team, integrations or plugins are often built by community developers and then occasionally merged into the main branch.

One of the things I really dislike about opensource deployments is plugins. Often the core team is happy to let something go to a plugin and 99.99% of the time plugins just get abandoned. It's worse when some projects "outsource" basic functionality like authentication (say via saml or oidc) to a plugin.

neither is it like that to be a multi millionaire. rare is the multimillionaire who "retires" to a village and enjoys siesta. usually, they want to move even more money (which is fine).

Jupyter Notebook 7 3 years ago

Thanks for explanation. I still don't get what is the motivation to keep Jupyter Notebook going. Is it different feature wise? Or it's just a chrome over JupyterLab because people like the retro look of Jupyter Notebook?

I thought Notebook is getting deprecated. What is the difference between Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook ? Are these developed by two completely different teams? Why maintain two code bases?

OP is talking about having a mechanism / Operating system for servers to easily deploy and manage. Atleast, that's what I understood from the original post. How does k8s help me deploy say a blog ? It's just too technical and geeky. If this was "Android", I just download some blog app, click and install. Don't have to worry about updates either.

Your comment on complex deployment reminded me of https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box#cloudron - "Web applications like email, contacts, blog, chat are the backbone of the modern internet. Yet, we live in a world where hosting these essential applications is a complex task."

What you are saying is so true. I don't understand why no standardization work is being done to make server deployments simpler with high reliability. We have some takes like cloudron, sandstorm, yunohost but nothing is "mainstream".
