The Sign

For context, in case you don’t have kids (therefor you probably don’t watch Bluey), the family in the car (the Heelers) was selling their house to move for a job but ultimately, the dad (Bandit) decided staying at their house with family was more important. As a final act of demonstration, he lifts the for-sale sign out of the ground and throws it onto the street, with emotional montage music playing in the background.

Basically the meme being, I reject this and I’ll figure out another way.

Thankfully historical Hashicorp code has been permissively licensed and we have awesome forks like opentofu and openbao.

IBM has a history of crushing stuff like this after a few years. Breath status: held, for now.

far_university1990,

How exactly they do this? License bs?

Some example for this happening?

CriticalMiss,

Sure, they killed CentOS a few years and then shut off their git to public access. CentOS successors such as Alma or Rocky now rely on ripping cloud images to access sources (because they still ship GPL software, so they must).

Just a recent example.

Was this suppose to be a gif?

Nope.

majestictechie,

I see bluey, I upvote. What a beautiful episode that was

krewjew,

I wept.

Geobloke,

I spent an hour comforting my 3 year old and wife at the end. I thought it would be a low key fun family afternoon activity

possiblylinux127,

They (Hashicorp) already made Terraform non foss

Yeah, for sure. And it’s already been forked. I have a feeling/hope that this might drive forks for some of the other popular software like consul.

possiblylinux127, (edited )

The fork has a terrible name. They should of just named it Tofu or better yet come up with something better.

Its good we have a fork. I wish other projects would be forked.

acockworkorange,

What’s Hashicorp? I’ve looked at OpenTofu’s homepage and their “what’s OpenTofu” section let me with more questions than answers.

andrew,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

Formerly open source company with a few really great projects. Terraform being one of the best known. Vault is probably the second most popular unless you go back when vagrant was bigger.

Chocrates,

I was interested in Vagrant when it came out, but it was a touch too early in my career. I still don’t really understand why it exists or what problem it solves.

andrew,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

I think it was big for easy local dev setups in a VM. But I think docker has pretty much taken over a lot of those use cases since a build can happen in a container pretty trivially across platforms these days. Plus be ready to deploy with the same tools, which Vagrant didn’t cover.

Hey, Consul was pretty big for a while. But yeah, Terraform and Vault take the top two spots.

Nobody knows. They don’t know either. They’re terrified that someone will figure it all out and they’ll have to pay back all that VC money. Hence the current crisis.

At least that’s my take.

Better start prepping the opentofu arguments for the enterprises we’re collectively involved with.

jemikwa,

Mine is already talking about this news in a negative light. Makes my life easier to bring in opentofu

WASTECH,
@WASTECH@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, our entire IT org has a vendetta against IBM. We were just looking to start implementing Terraform too…

andrew,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

I’m definitely about to deploy it at home and replace vault just to be ready.

Fuuuuuuuuk.

And we just rolled out the open source version for our company… I wrote so many help documents too :|

slazer2au,

IBM owns Red Hat right? Which owns Ansible… Big blue trying to take over the IoC space.

Damage,

IoC Internet of… Chandeliers? Critters? Cretins?

RegalPotoo,
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

Infrastructure of Code?

andrew,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

Yeah, I think they meant IaC. IoC I’ve usually seen as “inversion of control” which is something else.

andrew,
@andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

I think they’re just trying to take over. But yes.
