Tradies, plus, your Quarterly Linux Update

SUSE is independent again, so we discuss what’s up with it and its uses. Open source, when mixed with business, is back once again: Coté craves some intellectual closer. Also, Google announced some big game platform thing. So. Chips?

Tradies! Not these ones. Yes, these ones.

There’s a lot of notions about what IT executives actually want to hear in a presentation. It turns out that, like all of us, they just want to hear what they want to hear. Also, is kubernetes really a platform for building platforms, or just a platform?

Episode 165: Lock-in is a lie, or, paying for Java support Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Should you pay for Java support? Now you get to decide! It’s more kindle for the lock-in fire. Also, some uninformed commentary on “surveillance capitalism.”

Oracle Will Charge for Java Starting in 2019.
- What was Java treated like way back in the mid-2000s Sun days?
- Should you pay for this kind of thing?
- It seems like the answer is just to run an OpenJDK version (Oracle even has one) or pay for support. With OpenJDK you have to do updates/patches yourself…but, then, that’s why you don’t have to pay for it. Pay for it, and you’re paying someone else to worry about that.
- Forrester Report:
- “The new subscription's prices for Oracle Java SE support — $25 a month per server core and $2.50 a month per Java client — apply to all Oracle Java SE commercial customers. Previously, only Oracle's Java SE Advanced customers paid support fees to obtain security patches among other benefits ($5,000 per processor, plus 22%).”
- Oracle to do two Java releases a year, but many companies are way behind and don’t like upgrading. Like, if you haven’t reached release management maturity: “Executing manual regression tests multiple times each year to stay on the latest version of OpenJDK will prove to be a labor-draining exercise, but so will automating existing manual tests and keeping them up to date.”
- Old stuff likes old pricing models: “For Java runtimes, however, monthly subscriptions have minimal advantage, as most applications are now stable workloads. Most customers don't need pricing that allows them to scale down, as they almost never will.”
- From their blog on the topic: “Under the best of circumstances, a technology base of Java’s size, age, and complexity can’t pivot within six months to new support structures carrying big potential additional costs.”
Thieves of Experience: How Google and Facebook Corrupted Capitalism.
- “surveillance capitalism uses human life as its raw material. Our everyday experiences, distilled into data, have become a privately owned business asset used to predict and mold our behavior, whether we’re shopping or socializing, working or voting.”
- If you’re not buying a product, you are a product “gets it wrong. Surveillance capitalism’s real products, vaporous but immensely valuable, are predictions about our future behavior — what we’ll look at, where we’ll go, what we’ll buy, what opinions we’ll hold — that internet companies derive from our personal data and sell to businesses, political operatives, and other bidders.”
- The question is: what’re other options?
- The latest The Weeds episode (Feb 5th, 2019) has a discussion of Facebook making you unhappy, and also compared to the TV rotting your brain meme.
- Side-note: what’s up with podcasts (like The Weeds) that don’t have actual show notes in a web page?

Episode 162: The diapers.com effect, also, LTS and the mysteries of software pricing Jan 18, 2019

Show notes

Are we still on that open source licensing thing? Yes. “The most boring topic of all time.” Also, Slack's logo and long term support software monetization models: how do they work?

Summary:

“Diapers.com buster (AKA Amazon)”
“What is someone really selling with LTS?”
“Artful genitals.”
“It’s not butt ducks”
“I’ve had three dogs since then…”
Microsoft laughed.

MONGO, MONGO, MONGO!

MongoDB Issues New Server Side Public License for MongoDB Community Server
MongoDB not in RHEL 8.0
MongoDB "open-source" Server Side Public License rejected
AWS vs. open source: DocumentDB is the latest battlefront
AWS gives open source the middle finger
AWS, MongoDB, and the Economic Realities of Open Source (Ben Thompson) Fine, fine…but music companies didn’t “sell” CDs, they sold music. Authors don’t “sell” printed books, they sell stories. They sell IP. The medium isn’t the product.
- “This trade-off is inescapable, and it is fair to wonder if the golden age of VC-funded open source companies will start to fade (although not open source generally). The monetization model depends on the friction of on-premise software; once cloud computing is dominant, the economic model is much more challenging.”
- There’s some ponderous gyrating between public cloud being good at managed hosting/services (they run the stuff well) vs. software (their features are unique/good).
Ben’s follow-up (subscription required):
- “ Atlas was only 8% of total revenue last year, which grew 57% year-over-year; that means that Atlas itself grew 330% year-over-year, from $3.3 million to $14.3 million. Of course cost of revenue grew 68% as well, thanks to a $4.1 million increase in hosting costs (AWS wins either way), but particularly given the addition of a free Atlas offering, those costs aren’t out of line.”
So, with this “SSPL” thing, AWS would have to open source all of itself, or just the DocumentDB part?
- Here: “The specific objection is that SSPL requires, if you offer services licensed under it, that you must open-source all programs that you use to make the software available as a service.
- From Mongo’s press release on SSPL, Oct. 2018: “The only substantive change is an explicit condition that any organization attempting to exploit MongoDB as a service must open source the software that it uses to offer such service.”
What would happen if AWS was all open source? Given that few companies could use OpenStack or make their own clouds (even with cloud.com and such), just having the code matters little to a successful cloud business, right?
- Or, maybe it doesn’t mean all of AWS, just the DocumentDB part. Which is, really, the in the spirit of the GPL.
The competitive tactic of forcing competitors to open source their stuff is weird.
