When they realise they were being exposed as doing sod all they moved on. We had about 2 consultants come in who never declared this. It was increasely pointed out, because of our size that it was a bad idea. Where I worked they wanted to go full cloud, the new director did. Rackspace is a great example of a company that should’ve been doing it right, but wasn’t. The reality for us is that risks are higher so offloading the most important parts of those risks to providers who are doing it right makes the most sense. The new ones in the industry arent good at all of those things and willing to work on sub par setups that they’re responsible for, for less pay. They retire or move to enterprises, but generally aren’t looking to work for MSPs. It also means staffing people who are competent at managing this stuff day to day and during a disaster scenario. Our thing is that it’s almost always cheaper to do it right in the cloud vs right on-prem, and we’re not settling for anything less than right.įor on-prem, that means redundant servers, proper cooling/data center hosting, more intentional network segmentation, backup appliance with storage and an offsite copy, vulnerability and pen testing, etc. Part of me dreads that, but part of me gets a little bit of excitement in my gut for it. One more step and we will be right back to hosting everything in the DCs like it mostly was when I first started out my career. My answers to the "can we do this?" questions are trending less "the vendor does not support that." and more "pretty sure we can, let me look into what adjustments we need to make to do it.". I don't know that it is any cheaper once salaries and AWS hosting costs are accounted for, but the end result frequently seems to be a lot more flexible for the actual service we are running. Sometimes rarely a downgrade.Īt my current employer we are more and more going through a bit of a migration away from a lot of the SaaS subscription backed stuff and more into the self-hosted FOSS alternatives that requires more employee head count. I used to have Office install/uninstall batch scripts with some if/else logic to determine installed office versions for an upgrade or uninstall. The company characterized its revised API terms of service as an effort to "build a more sustainable, healthy ecosystem around data on Reddit.I come from that world as well. Meanwhile Reddit's announcement of a new API usage policy, said to have followed from the desire to seek payment from makers of AI models that train on Reddit posts, has been causing trouble. Twitter's API paywall crumbles (but only for those saving lives, predicting weather, etc.).Microsoft nopes out after Twitter starts charging $$$ for API access.Reddit: If you want to slurp our API to train that LLM, you better pay for it, pal.Reddit blackout planned over app-killing API prices.In April, finance firm Fidelity, lead investor in the company's August 2021 funding round, revised the value of its $28.2 million stake to $16.6 million, a 41 percent decline in its multi-year loss-making investment. It may yet list, however, in the second half of 2023. Reddit filed to go public in late 2021 but has not yet done so. In March, The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Reddit was preparing to downsize its office space, leaving its 78,000-square-foot office at 1455 Market Street for a 47,000 square feet office at 303 Second Street, in San Francisco's nearby South of Market neighborhood.
