After Hashicorp's recent license change shenanigans I doubt any new OSS project will adopt HCL


Why? HCL itself is under the MPLv2, and the underpinning go-cty is under MIT. Both of these are perfectly reasonable licenses for even _commercial_ software to use, let alone open source.


Lack of trust in the project's future with the impending sale to IBM.


Why wouldn’t you just use it and fork it if there’s an issue? It’s largely just “finished” at this point. Not everything needs to be churned for years.


especially with OpenTOFU being a thing too


OpenTofu literally _uses_ HCL, with a couple of minor adjustments...


Many companies already pay for Google Workspace so Google Drive is included.

And for personal use, it's much cheaper than Dropbox.

I pay R$6.99/month for 100GB of Google storage (most of which is used by Google Photos), while Dropbox costs R$10/month for 50GB of storage and doesn't integrate very well with Google Photos.


Not to be glib, but this episode is a little reminder of why that's not always the case. Priceless data now lost (if it is in fact conclusively/irreoverably lost) demonstrates that sometimes in life, its the free or cheap things that end up costing us the most :(


Not sure what he means, but some banking apps in Brazil have a "geofencing" feature like "only allow transactions when phone is inside this area". Presumably you set your home and work addresses as trusted.


But most Google Workspace customers are companies, not individuals. It'd be hard to convince the company to pay for Mimestream, so its customers are people. And there are too many "personal productivity" tools competing for my money, Mimestream is very low on the priorities list.


ECS is so much simpler to use and understand than Kubernetes, even on EKS.

But as for CodeDeploy... IMHO the only reason to use it is "I don't want to deal with another vendor" due to procurement/compliance hell in large companies.


Never user Docker for Windows, but Docker for Mac has not been great lately either.

Granted, macOS changes a lot between each release but our company is paying for Docker Desktop licenses and the experience has really been disappointing.


Depending on your needs, GitHub Packages is an option


Yes, it's happening to us. And on top of that, since Business is only offered via yearly invoice, we'll also have to pay 1 year upfront instead of monthly via credit card as we've been doing.

But to make us feel better, they're offering a 30% discount (for this initial year) to the affected companies.

This is insane, I don't expect we'll renew out subscription next year. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...


Even if it's already patched, the fact that it was exploitable for years make it very much relevant. And of course, those with older computers that can't be updated to the latest macOS are still vulnerable.


Yes, please. It's awful when a one-line PR changes the whole file to fix formatting
