How much storage did it use overall? I had one instancs running on a 40gb HDD VM and it ran out of disk space in like 2,5 months. From what I've seen it was a mixture of 66,6/33,3 postgres/ images and other media. Didn't had the time to learn how to clean it up and prevent it from happening again after a month. All happens like may to August last year.

Not the one who wrote the command: The Keepass DB encryption is afaik pretty damn good. So that wouldn't be an attack vector I would worry about. Also and those are just my five cents and I might probably be ripped in pieces by some it sec people, I wouldn't fear too much about a backdoor being put into your systems when self hosting. If someone actually does this it's most probably gonna be some actor related to a government that targets you for whatever reason and at least then most of us wouldn't stand a chance to keep all of their IT devices save, especially when they could stop you on the streets and get physical access to some devices. On the other hand hosted services with thousands of customers are also a lucrative target for cyber crime and which you as a self hosting individual are most probably not. This reduces the possible threats quite a bit, at least if you keep up some default safety stuff to not just let any wannabe hacker from wherever into your self hosted services that would be happy if they can get a 5 thousands dollars/ euros or whatever from you.

And also because it's a comfortable cover up for any kind of money saving stupidity. We don't need proper requirements engineering, we're agile. We don't need an operations team we're doing an agile DevOps approach. We don't need frontend Devs, we're an agile team you all need to be full stack. I have often seen agility as an excuse to push more works towards the devs who aren't trained to do any of those tasks.

Also common problem is that still tons of people believe agile means unplanned. This definitely also contributes to projects failing that are just agile by name.

I don't think your conclusion is correct and a correlation between the two numbers is by far not enough to assume a causality between the two of them. I would rather assume there are a lot of other factors being involved. Like e.g. the education system, especially the amount of years spent on education before starting to work, the general wealth of the society, the social securities provided the government, like e.g. health care, unemployment support etc.

Not that new given that a law informally called the "The Hague Invasion Act" exists for more then 20 years and it's only purpose is being a threat to the ICC .

God from the bible. The whole book will just be a bunch of ancient stories nobody should care about anymore. Would be interesting to see what the world would be like without Christianity.

Could easily be that they have a bunch of people in Munich they can not fire since German labour laws are at least compared to a lot of places not that bad and they have to come up with some work for them. So having them work on this is still cheaper then having the people in the valley plus "useless" people in Munich.

What an amazing time to be alive that those few words are providing all the required context.

Same thing with why do I need to pay someone to do maintenance my car, kitchen, AC, whatever works perfectly well.

Also why should we pay developers to do stuff like dependency upgrades and other maintenance or software just runs™

A lot of people did this at that company as well. But mainly my point was that it might be better to first get productive, or verify you can be productive with the OS you installed before you waste tons of hours configuring it in some obscure ways.

Especially since it was usually the ones straight outta university who did the fancy configuration, tons of alias, custom theming and so on stuff while most senior Devs using Linux just used default Ubuntu, Fedora or whatever installations. Something that just worked.

Once worked for a software company where we could run Linux on our machines if we maintained them ourselves and wouldn't ask admins for support since they were only supporting the default windows installations. Right before Christmas new coworker joined, early twenties, got into a project that was apparently hard to get it set up locally, we told him get the project running and then spend time to configure your laptop the way you like it to be. Low and behold, he spends Christmas setting up and configuring some fancy desktop environment on Kubuntu, returns to work, shows off the fancy looks and within a week fails to get the project set up and everyone else in the project was using windows. So one week later he was back using windows and super pissed that he wasted like 5 days configuring his desktop. My heart is still bleeding for that poor guy :(

Exactly this.

I've seen "computer illiterate" folk using windows computers without properly working graphic drivers causing scrolling to look horrific or being limited to something like 1280x800 while owning a FullHD screen that I'm 100% convinced something like this doesn't matter for most "normal" users.

The main issue for them is getting it installed in the first place. They buy a computer, turn it on, windows with all its bloatware is there and they use it. Would it boot to any kind of Linux desktop they would use this and most probably wouldn't even consciously recognise that they aren't using windows anymore.
