@scottalanmiller They would need to become NASA to do what NASA does, and in doing so lose what makes them Spacex. spacex isnt making anything nearly as complicated as NASA. NASA is way beyond rocket science with clever gyros.
To be fair... compared to other countries NASA wasn't that great at rocket science.
Forty years of NASA just to keep pace with four years of Nazi Germany.
Not quite that extreme but it's a good point.
Decently true. Until just recently we were still flying our main space craft based on a WW2 Nazi design.

It still requires at least a partial compromise of the server beforehand. Not really an issue.
...you’ve partially compromised the server or maybe you wrote a malicious browser extension.

Also, totally not practical.

Grafana with Zimbra
https://grafana.com/dashboards/2846I wish I was smart enough to make cool dashboards.
I can’t make dashboards either
Design isn't my strong suit. I've been thinking about a decent dashboard to show the health of our infrastructure for our CIO (and maybe put it in the public somewhere?) but just can't really get the look right. May try and do Grafana for that but it's a very low priority.
I think people either have an eye for design or don't. I do not.

Which is funny because people confused DropBox with cloud. Although in reality, we can pretty safely assume that DropBox remained cloud, just stopped using a hosted one.

Another web hosting company offering "lifetime" service. How long before they fail like Cloud at Cost?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/get-a-lifetime-of-web-hosting-for-just-dollar25
Looks like it's a deal being offered through thedailybeast site. I don't trust either.

lifetime anything is a gimmick of course. but don't conflate your issues.

Yes, C@C did not do web hosting, it's anything that offers "lifetime" that gets associated with them.

Reading it, I'm not sure he meant to group them together. I think that he was just making a point about the lifetime joke thing.
Pertino anyone? Another unrelated, but "lifetime" product already looking like it is going away for the lifetime users.
