I initially skipped reading it because i thought it was another drama post about maintainers a la all the nixos stuff lately.

To balance the universe a bit, I read it expecting a drama post - then read it right through because it was at least as interesting as the drama post I'd expected. I also discovered Oxide through this, which looks interesting, except for the complete lack of pricing I can find on their site - which puts in my head as probably in the "If you need to ask the price you can't afford it" category...

I think Oxide should be renting out time on their hardware racks, as well as selling them to big orgs.

Oxide looks to be superb engineering up and down the whole stack, and if it drives more rust code into linux all the better.

Now that linode has been consumed by Akamai, we need an alternative.
