The whole "well, it's already broken: what's the worst I can do?" is such a liberating position to be in.

Open source, libraries, frameworks and language development is how this is tackled.
Making software is implementing business logic. It's the specific nature of whatever problem you are solving which means you can't use some existing off-the-shelf product.
There are dozens (if not hundreds) of no-code/low-code app builders out there. Things like n8n or ndoe-red.
They get very difficult to maintain at scale.
In the cloud, obviously
XKCD alt text is always worth!
And it's not always available (like, the well known ones being circulated around social media).
Props to the OP for linking to the image from XKCD (as opposed to rehosting it) and further props for linking the source!
Just missing the delicious alt text (at least for me using jerboa, Firefox and a pixel phone)
Years ago, I played with AWS then contacted their support to make sure any AWS billing to my account was disabled.
I thought I'd try it again recently, and couldn't log in.
I still don't think I'm missing anything.
I'd rather have VPS or server providers where I know exactly what I'm getting per month no matter what, tho I've ran near data transfer surcharges.
Oh, it's expected costs.
Like, figure out the compute requirements of your code, multiply by the cost per compute unit (or whatever): boom, your cost.
Totally predictable.
Compared to suddenly having to replace a $20k server that dies in your data center.
So much easier.
Except when your code (let's be honest, the most likely thing to have an error in it... At least compared to some 4+ year old production hardware that everyone runs) has a bug in it that requires 20x compute.
But maybe that is a popularity spike (the hug-of-death)! That's why you migrated to the #cloud anyway, right? To handle these spikes! And you've always paid your bills so... Yeh, here's a 20x bill.
I hope they don't get over it.
I hope they realise what they are doing is illegal before it gets to the point that they do anything to the protesters.
And that any of them that do anything to the protesters never forget and never get over it.
If you think curiosity without rigor is bad, you should see rigor without curiosity
I hope I typed that right. I couldn't copy the alt text from the source on mobile.
And I was annoyed that XKCD alt text wasn't included with the post, so I thought I would include it to the best of my ability
Michelin Stars? Yeh, the tyre company recommending restaurants
Ah, the old Lemmy switcheroo.
Hold my gum, I'm going...
Wait, do we have that here?
Ah, lol.
Is that the web interface? Or what app is that?
The commands you used to start the docker containers, or the docker compose contents.
That's what dictates how much "power" a docker container has
