Late Night Blog on Nostr: The annoying thing about #foss is either once a month or once a year it will fail ...
The annoying thing about #foss is either once a month or once a year it will fail catastrophically depending on the project.
All other drawbacks aside proprietary software almost never fails catastrophically. And if it does like Google drive just did it makes international news.
The big proprietary stuff fails as often as you are struck by lightening. The FOSS stuff fails in a yearly, monthly, and sometimes weekly basis.
As you may guess I am experiencing a failure right now. Not one, but two. Three if you count the one this morning.
