@aral these companies' servers have had more outages in the last few months than mine in all the time I've maintained software of some kind. How can they expect us to trust 1500-2000kg machines controlled by THEIR software connected to THEIR servers?

Holy crap, I can't even expect Google to maintain a product alive anymore... How do I know I won't be in the middle of the highway going 120km/h and it won't just "stop responding" because of them?

@precariousmind @aral imagine being able to host your own servers at home or with your community. I could buy a server, place it in my home and feed it clean energy (if I had solar panels) and use it for myself, instead of relying on a data centre 1000km away in a different country in the best case. Then there is some idiots that use Amazon us-east-1 for everything so my data is on the other side of the ocean, on the most overused AWS region that has the most outages.
