Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
foggenbooty@lemmy.world 1 day agoWe were originally discussing why subscriptions can make sense to fund ongoing costs and you replied:
What kind of subscriptions require large infrastructure?
My response was based on the original topic of services provided by large companies, not self hosting for individual consumption. I also run a proxmox server and have similar requirements to you, but this is not indicative of the type of infrastructure a larger company with higher SLAs and demands would require.
Saying you can slap together a couple proxmox servers and have something equivalent to what it takes to run Netflix is highly disingenuous. Saying you can do the same and have an alternative to Netflix for YOU is true, but not what we’re discussing.

Ah i completely missed that context.
I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations
Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.
