So, basically, MinIO is dead. Time to move on, folks. Dead horse is dead. Kicking it will release toxic decomposition sludge.
I built my first Slackware box from source.
How times changed.

Could you elaborate please?
Re: MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
#434I'll let docker's security team know that an insecure, obsolete docker image is being served and the maintainers have officially acknowledged they will no longer support it.
Best to get insecure and vulnerable software out of the hands of those who may not be familiar with this CVE or their change in policy that has not gotten a press release in any way.

#435Ceph is an open source project run by a foundation. Minio is a company backed by VCs looking for a return. There is also seaweedfs, powerscale, openstack swift and hyperstore. The S3 compatible space is crowded.

That is not the problem here.

#438Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well some say 'all publicity is good publicity', I think in this case it has hurt MinIO more than anything as far as public adoption is concerned.
I believe it's too early to judge public adoption. Let's see in a few years if it degrades somehow. For now, they jumped from 55,880 to 56,319 GitHub stars in one day. From the product side, I don't see how this should affect new adopters who didn't read the hn post yesterday
GitHub stars are useless metric.

With 100PB clusters being built and not a cent going to them, you can see why minio has gone this route. I wonder if they will be "valkeyed"? Not by AWS presumably.
That's a strange mindset, IMO. I'd be pissed if I had to pay $0.10 every time I turned a rachet, and it's weird to expect companies to have usage-based monetization on the tools they've made for others.
You effectively do pay per turn of the ratchet. It doesn't last forever, will eventually break, and so you can amortize the cost of the device over the number of turns you expect it to make to get the per-turn cost.
Software on the other hand does not naturally wear out, in the same way physical objects do.
Re: MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
#440Maintaining docker builds isn’t that huge of a burden (and likely very useful for them too), and they’re delegating hosting to a third party… I don’t get what they’re trying to achieve here.
They're trying to force some free users to pay them for binary builds.
