Now you sound like a Republican. If someone steals pens to sell them on ebay, if they find that is actually worth their time, then they aren't getting paid enough.
Your endpoint is AWS. You think that isn't monitored lol.
There is no endpoint that is not potentially monitored. VPNs are not effective at preventing that kind of monitoring, that is why TOR was invented. (Whether TOR is successful or not is another question).
I am not a company owner, but if I were I would not care one bit if employees were taking pens home. I wouldn't even call that stealing. Take them if they want. I would put a basket in the front labeled, "Free Pens." Because seriously, if pens make people happy......such a small expense for improving office morale. And why not, a free red stapler at every desk.
A secure job and the computer industry are incompatible everywhere. Security in the computer industry comes from developing the skill of finding a good job.
If he's in the US, maybe there's something wrong with 50-hour-per-week, no-vacation, all-work-no-play American "culture."
If he's in the US, and he has that, then there's definitely something wrong with his method of choosing workplaces. Even if you're an Uber driver you can do better than that.
Just manage your own damn IT infrastructure you lazy sumbitches,...and if your not compiling everything by hand, you deserve what you get. work harder not smarter!
I'm not talking about managing your IT infrastructure......I literally said put it on AWS. Just keep your deployment consolidated and organized, not scattered through a bunch of different non-portable tools.
You have to be vicious about keeping your deploy tools simple, because if you don't, it will quickly become unmanageable.
You are right, but most of what people use a VPN service for is to act as a proxy. They don't want their country or their company to know what they are browsing to on the internet.
If you have SSH on a server you can set up a proxy using SSH:
ssh -D 8080 user@server -p 443
You can configure your browser to go to your local port 8080 using SOCKS. The remote server can be something at home, or on AWS, or on Cloudflare, etc. More info. Don't trust any proxy, build your own.
The spirit of GPL is to allow the user to do anything,
That's not really true, anything but deny others their freedom. Amazon made changes to mysql and didn't release them to the public. (Legally they don't have to, of course).
For periodic batch jobs, components in workflows, or response handling logic where some latency variability is acceptable, it's a great tool and saves a lot of costs over having dedicated but grossly underutilized EC2s.
I don't think you've done a cost analysis on this. Just get yourself a $10 a month EC2 server and you're fine, and not locked into AWS.
Furthermore, the AGPL is only a deterrent against competition if the competition needs to modify the source code and does not want to share the modifications
Amazon modified MySQL quite a bit to make it run on a cloud in a cluster, but didn't return the changes. That's what the MariaDB people are upset about.
Recently I saw a company with three different nosql databases (and a relational database for slower things). This was to support fewer than 1,000 users. I showed them the Amazon "How to scale to 10million users" video (it's all over youtube), and sent them a summary of the bullet points (at around 1,000 users, we should consider getting off sqlite3. By 500,000 users, we need to have performance monitoring in place). That gave the non-technical people a road-map idea of priorities, and linking to Amazon gave it authority, even if they didn't actually watch it.

Or you might scale minimum wage with inflation in a whole fucking country and set an example for the rest of the world
If you would be affected by a minimum wage increase......you have no skills.
Yeah, I don't really go stronger than citric acid honestly.
Awesome. Good for you... Except for the part where I get the feeling you're trying to justify it..
Nah. I get paid enough I don't need to steal pens, and I'm too picky to use the company supplied pens. I bring my own too work.
You being fine with giving away pens doesn't mean I am.
OK, so you suck. What else do you want me to tell you about yourself?
Now you sound like a Republican. If someone steals pens to sell them on ebay, if they find that is actually worth their time, then they aren't getting paid enough.
Also, you don't have an exoskeleton
I absolutely do. And it's rude to discriminate against externally formed. Shame on you!
How do you know? I hope you're not making stuff up.
OK, I'll keep it in mind.
No, carapaceless? I clearly said my exoskeleton is intact.

. and hear me out... you are a spineless weasel.,
Oh wait, let me check......nope, my exoskeleton is still intact.

Which coincidentally, our AC friend lacks.

I only worked for one company that wasn't run by a total piece of shit in my career,
There might be something wrong with you. At very least, you can say your selection of employment places should be improved.
What was the question being answered?

Obviously that doesn't meet the needs of people who want to be able to have "local" access in foreign countries.
You can spin up an AWS in many different foreign countries.

Make your point on a thread where it's relevant. There are other places in this story where people made that same point.
For periodic batch jobs, components in workflows, or response handling logic where some latency variability is acceptable, it's a great tool and saves a lot of costs over having dedicated but grossly underutilized EC2s.

Unless Amazon distributed the code they are under no obligation to provide their code and its modifications.
That's not the answer to the question that was asked.
