  • wait… so to get this straight, you were paying Redis, a company that creates an open source project, for their offerings in order to keep funding them. When they changed their license so that their business wouldn’t be cannibalized by AWS (who was modifying Redis under the hood, not contributing it back to the community, and then pricing it lower) instead of continuing to pay Redis who’s license change wouldn’t have affected you at all, you instead started paying AWS for a project they started in order to avoid paying for open source code they were using.

    you do realize this is a walmart situation right?






  • It’s incredibly well known that wind power completely depends on how large of an area you can cover with the blades. That’s why wind turbines keep getting bigger and bigger. They’re more efficient and deliver more energy. Roof mounted wind turbines for residential are one of the worst possible renewable energy sources for general consumers. You’re better off with solar or geothermal.

    Like someone else said, a single solar panel can outcompete a roof mounted wind turbine. You’d be better off buying a portable camping solar panel and using that to charge a battery bank and then charge some of your electronics off of that.
