Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

That's what you get when you let go hundreds of employees from your cloud computing unit in favour of AI.

I hope they end up having to compensate all the billions of losses they caused to all the businesses and people.

Consequences? For Amazon?

They do have contracts and are obligated to provide a certain "up time", which is usually 99% or so. If they fail to provide that, they are liable to compensate for the losses.

Or do you think that Amazon is above the law and no other company could sue them?

It all depends on what kind of contracts they have.

Amazon has more money than most countries. They can outlast any company in court, or just ban you from their services in the future.

Depends on who we're talking about. Companies like finance orgs are all about legal contracts and would be able to hold their feet to the fire.

You don't want to go to court against a finance company or any very large org where contract law is their bread and butter (basically any large/multinational corp).

Amazon's not hosting just small operations.

Most banks have their data on Amazon/Azure. You don't want to enrage banks.
