Oh yes, a random person on HN says something is a non-issue so their word must be gospel. Definitely.

I explained exactly what needs to be maintained and why that’s a lot of work. You are free to disagree, but just saying “trust me bro” is not a compelling argument.

Have you ever maintained your own server? Or even tried? It’s not nearly as easy as you clearly think it is.

Oh, I remember you. This amount of hostility to the world is difficult not to notice. So at least you're not a rando here. Clearly a name to remember.

> It’s not nearly as easy as you clearly think it is.

Dunno, I'm 20+ years in the industry. It's not easy, though it's just a skill. You can hire a person who would do that for you. It's not necessary to make it look like a wizardry. It's just a skill.

I offer counseling if you're struggling with the basics. For you personally it would be 200% extra though. I don't like unnecessary rude people.

If you think hiring a person to manage this is cheaper than the setup they have, or even remotely reasonable for a volunteer project, then there’s nothing more to discuss.

That is in no way shape or form grounded in reality.

I think I know a bit more about this particular problem than a (senior) software developer. Infra management is my profession, which I've been doing for decades. The conversation might have been more interesting if you hadn't been so rude initially.
This conversation might have been more interesting if your point was anything but "it's easy, trust me bro", which you continue to do.

Waving credentials around and proposing solutions not remotely feasible for the problem at hand generally does not sway people nor provide for interesting discussion.

I don’t owe you anything. I don’t engage in discussions with ignorant jerks. Simple life goals.
