  The issue you’ll run into is that the data runs through their servers, and you ages to let them kill it off. Should that be legal? I honestly don’t know. But they shouldn’t force you to use their servers to begin with, which would make the entire issue moot.

  I mean, that’s not quite the same thing to be honest. That’s a choice made hundreds of times by individual instance owners. Is it a good choice? Debatable. But that reliance can also be bypassed by those same owners rather quickly if it became a problem. You can’t pivot out of AWS quite as fast unless you have a backup plan locked and loaded.

  Massive lag coming from larger instances, instance moves or domain name loss causing the death of an instance, misconfigurations in general since those cause a plethora of problems.

  I get your point, but that comes with a whole host of other problems. Take a look at Lemmy for instance, decentralized, yes. But also prone to problems stemming from that same decentralization.

  Yes and no. Remove the vacuum and the heat pipe no longer works. I mean, it works, but it’s no longer a heat pipe.

  I get the joke, but the vacuum is usually before the fans, inside the heat pipes.
