came here to suggest VanDAM but looks like it's been renamed. Looking for the same solution myself and was going to try it out.

Same. Since the aquisition, I've moved all my home infrastructure off vmware to debian/docker and currently trying to get in front of our next renewal at work. I've been ready to pivot if necessary but no one seems to believe me that we need to be ready for our pending licensing converation..

I was making a blues brothers joke.

but ok, fine, point is I’m not convinced by the argument. Someone else made the point better but since there are photos of Illinois nazi’s should we give vlad a ring too?

I showed them by having a successful and happy life. Nothing else needs to be said.

IMHO the problem is the same one as everywhere. Companies are no longer interested in creating products, they are only interested in creating revenue streams. I've been working on my finances lately and it's incredible how many 'products' have become subscriptions over time.

I'd love to be able to buy a day's access, or access to an article. If I want to share it, I'm willing to pay a small fee to show it to certain folks. I feel like there could be a market there but in the current financial climate it would never get any interest or backing because it wouldn't be a method to capture people into a reoccurring billing cycle.

I've always thought that the ad supported internet is something people will eventually get sick of and the financial foundation would evolve over time to find models that don't rely on infinite spam. Instead efforts are focussed on forcing us to view them. At this point I'm expecting the next version of Chrome to require the Ludovico technique while browsing.

I can’t wait to see these decorate the homes of my “religious” turnip loving family.
