<div dir="ltr">This is why I love self-hosting. If a free service
is in the cloud, there is still a cost to it. <br>
Eventually the bill comes due, and once it's popular enough and
you're locked in, they will start charging subscription fees.<br>

<div>While software licenses can change such as recently with
Hashicorp Terraform, we've seen it happen both ways, like with
Elasticsearch and Kibana moving back to open source.</div>
<div>You have less chance of a rug pull or at least have some
control since you host it. The worst is that you won't
continue to get updates.<br>

<p>wow ... I didn't know they even went closed source.</p>
<p>Now, if anyone needs it, I have 4.2.2, latest no-cloud version,
git source repo and dmg/AppImage/exe trio. MIT and all.</p>
<p>This let's me appreciate a gazillion of mirrors for distro's,
cause what if some stop serving code. But similar mirroring must
be done for your dependencies. And mirroring of their own sources,
just in case.<br>

<p>This is in cli style.</p>
<p>Besides gui lens has this very useful option to bring a tunnel
from whatever you have inside you impenetrable cluster. I find it
incredibly useful: have postgre -> add pgadmin into cluster --
use when needed. Oh boy. It reduces stress when you need to look
into raw data, when bugs manifest, etc. So, I wonder if it has
this feature for sticking fingers into the machine.<br>

just received an email from a team/company that makes a "lens
for <br>
kubernetes". Email says something about excitement and a new
version.<br>
<br>
We had a round table on kubernetes, when I showed lens. Few
months later <br>
I needed it, and a new version already insisted on me having
cloud <br>
account. I had to meticulously go through history to find the
last <br>
release that allows you to use it as software, as expected.<br>
<br>
You don't even get Software from "Software as a Service"
vendor. This <br>
obviousness is even in the name. When software eats the world,
and it is <br>
your section that gets eaten, you want software to be yours.
But with <br>
Software as a Service, it is not my software that attempts to
eat my <br>
part of the world (e.g. control of my infrastructure). Instead
of giving <br>
me Software, they attempt to fool me into subscribing to
Service, <br>
resulting in me not getting Software.<br>
<br>
Software and a Service -- is what we look for.<br>
