I could use that if it didn't have hidden costs or obligations.
Is this actually a business that can make money? My family owns around 1000 olive oil trees in Greece that produce eatable olives and extra virgin olive oil.
The thing is that we always sell the product in intermediates that would pack it up and sell it in a much higher price. I don't know of any small producer that sells the product directly to the consumer. This seems like a very big investment and not really sustainable. Are there other people that are doing it?
Could my knowledge as a software engineer help that family business in any way to be more profitable ?
This is insteresting to me especially since this is a 2005 document. Is there a reason why C++ was chosen instead of Ada which to my knowledge was the gold standard for such software ?
For tco to be really useful you need to think in a non procedural way. Imagine that you don't have loops in your language so you need recursion to do stuff multiple times.
Also even in procedural languages there are some problems that are easier to understand and model if you use recursion, for example tree or graph like structures.
Using Django for almost 15 years, almost exclusively, for both business and personal projects. Have tried a lot of other frameworks, nothing clicks so good with me.
My only (small) complain with this release would be that they included the task framework but didn't include a task backend and worker. I'd prefer to wait a bit and include everything in the next version.
Yes this is concerning for me too. Hopefully if they don't fix/merge security issues somebody will fork and maintain it. It shouldn't be too much work. I'd even do it myself if I was experienced in golang.
Well I didn't mind when they removed it and certainly I didn't consider their paid version which is way too expensive for most use cases.
The UI was useful when first configuring the buckets and permissions; if you've got it working (and don't need to change anything) you're good to go. Also, everything can be configured without the UI (not so easily of course).
Minio is more or less feature complete for most use cases. Actually the last big update of minio removed features (the UI). I am using minio for 5 years and haven't messed with it or used any new thingie for the last 5 years (i.e since I installed it); I only update to new versions.
So if the minio maintainers (or anybody that forks the project and wants to work it) can fix any security issues that may occur I don't see any problems with using it.
Please read my comment again including the update:
For 15 minute cloudflare wasn't working and the status page did not mentioned anything. Yes, right now the status page mentions the serious network problem but for some time our pages were not working and we didn't know what was happening.
So for ~ 15 minutes the status page lied. The whole point of a status page is to not lie, i.e to be updated automatically when there are problem and not by a person that needs to get clearance on what and how to write.
Cloudflare seems to have degrated performance. Half the requests for my site throw cloudflare 500x errors, the other half work fine.
However the https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ does not really mention anything relevant. What's the point of having a status page if it lies ?
Update Ah I just checked the status and now I get a big red warning (however the problem existed for like 15 minutes before 11:48 UTC):
> Investigating - Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers. Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available. Nov 18, 2025 - 11:48 UTC
This is a good article and also reflects my opinons on the matter. All this effort should have gone else where (for example to improve the async job queues framework already introduced in Django 6)
Is AIStor Free really free like they claim here https://www.min.io/pricing, i.e
