    on the off chance one hasn't been tracking it, there were several "we don't need your stinking BuSL" projects when this drama first started:

    https://github.com/opentofu#why-opentofu (Terraform)

    https://github.com/openbao/openbao#readme (Vault)

    and I know of several attempts at Vagrant <https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/forks> but I don't believe one of them has caught traction yet

    Project mention: Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-18

    Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

  • graphql

    Project mention: Rails 7.1 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-05

    My memory is fuzzy, but...

    1. all data flow through the rails app (no pre-signed s3 upload or download links for direct uploading).

    2. no support for CDNs (I think newer rails versions added support)

    3. blobs and attachments were unnecessary abstractions.

    3a. Querying was annoying and easy to add n+1 queries.

    3b. Images are moderated and it was unclear where to put the moderation metadata (on blobs? attachments? create a new table? why so many tables?). Accessing the data was annoying (you need extra joins).

    4. GraphQL gem didn't support it: https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/1777
