MinIO Gives the Finger to Its Users: Pony Up $96,000, Suckers!
I will take the original title from raindog308 writes at LEB.
Originated from: https://lowendbox.com/blog/minio-gives-the-finger-to-its-users-pony-up-96000-suckers/
What’s Being Taken Out?
According to the MinIO ChangeLog, “Community version is going back to be an object browser only.”
The following features are being “deprecated”:
Account and policy management web UI Configuration management web UI Bucket management tools web UI Administrative console featuresIn short, while you used to be able to administer the product using a web interface, now you’re reduced to command-line only. Or pay…wait for it…$96,000.
So the discussion I want to bring up here is, what is your next solution for this? Providers, any of you high & low key are using this as a storage solution? Is this new changes affect any of your business perspective?

broadcom x webpros takeover
disclaimer: sarcasm
The project is open-source. Others will likely fork it and continue the project (with previous features) under a different name.
Sorry guys it was me
I know it seems greedy at first sight but somehow I need to pay for my $3.50 BuyVM invoice and now the $2.50 ExtraVM one too.
Hope you guys understand
look what poverty made u
Exactly, people need to stop being poor and address this problem with greedy world leaders.
I used to work at Microsoft with a six-figure salary.
Where did I host my Tor exit relays? Obviously not Azure, otherwise I (who has more savings than most people) would be bankrupt.
Now I run Fourplex, have 60% less income I used to (alongside dividends) and run Tor exit relays at FP as a "customer".
we need world war
I'm fancy in wat chu are doing
Thanks! 😘
Quite frankly, while many people dream of working for big tech, I hated working for Microsoft.
It was made worse since I was assigned a product that's basically workplace surveillance out of college and as the job market soured, I was effectively trapped there.
I had to leave. I was never the greatest coder anyways.
Running Fourplex is much more fulfilling, even if I work seven days a week and on evenings. Yes, my hours are longer but it doesn't stress me out as much, I can thrive not just barely survive.
That would be my dream of work xD, me finding myself heading to the similar path.
I would love to provide low-end IT services/products/hosts to friends & low income folks in my country & regional. Low end low effort, we both helping each other.
That work could be more fun than sitting 9-5 code for some tech bros just to made it to a milestones so they could report to some other BODs that we met goals this month are you happy to shove in more money.
This part I couldn't agree more, the fun of doing.

Here it is
You're doing life wrong.
I work at a mid-size tech company who doesn't do as glamorous work because working for a fortune 500 was absolute balls. now i have more meaningful work and time for my hobbies...also significant less worrying about random layoffs to appease shareholders. theres a happy medium to everything
To some the command line is an enhancement not a reduction.
The word "deprecated" used here is correct.
