Automated deployments and configurations, in *principle*, are the sort of mitigations for some of this that I had in mind, to aid rollback or redeployment or failover if an upgrade gets wedged.
But I'm no SRE so a lot of this, alas, remains theoretical to me.

In my estimation, during the course of what I think of as set-up of any network service, one *can* anticipate and thus configure things in such a way to mitigate or forestall future problems. But only to a certain point, and only optimally even then if one already has some combination of understanding & experience with the service.
Beyond this set-up phase are those challenges of maintenance.

Software freedom should be for everyone, but to reach everyone we have to *care* about reaching everyone, especially people in marginalized groups.
I've put a lot of effort into trying to convince people of this who don't want to hear it. This has been a source of stress for me and today I'm dumping it. Focusing on helping the projects that do care rather than trying to convince people who don't.

as for the way things could be, Charlie Reisinger has been doing great work leading students in a free software/open source 1-to-1 deployment at Penn Manor school district in Pennsylvania.

The estate tax has been something along these lines, and we see how it has been rebranded as a 'death tax'.

If OpenStreetMap became 100% decentralized and on federated protocols, their maps would improve, their overhead costs would lower and we could have a real alternative to gmaps.

It's like $80 for 1 gbps to the house. Even my mother has it. And this is Tulsa, a city with like 500k people in the city proper and 1 million in the metro (not small but not particularly huge). Maybe, just maybe, ISP's are lying about their infrastructure and capacity problems, or MAYBE they're artificial and they just don't care :thaenkin:

@craigmaloney Packaging systems, Debian's APT in particular, are hated by SW devs for much the same reason they're valued by sysadmins: they front-load integration, dependency resolution, upgrade dynamics, etc. More up-front work, far less hassle down the road, for far more people.
The can is kicked /up/ the stack.

As i transfer all my files, I see so many proprietary formats across my older media.
Final Cut Pro, Apple Photos databases, WMV and MOV files...
Some of this is easy to preserve and wont need to be touched, but it also reminds me to really pursue open formats as I continue on this digital journey.
I wonder how long i'll be able to continue to utilize these older formats...
I may spend a couple weekends converting them *to* open formats where possible.

New York State made it illegal to dispose of electronics in the residential waste stream several years back, and mandated retailers take them for recycling (allowing a fee: At least one place charges $25 for TVs).

Yeah I was going to say, this is very own-goal behaviour--I've had stuff I've forgotten that just had to be thrown away, so pervasive was the the funk of prolonged dampness.

Modern systems architecture sounds a lot less sexy when you replace terms like "containers" and "serverless" with "kicking the can down the stack to make maintaining this shit someone else's problem".
