It's official – MinIO, the self-hosted object storage platform and popular alternative to Amazon S3, has gone into maintenance mode. While disappointing, the move is hardly surprising given this year's warning signs from the development team, which include removing the admin interface from the platform's community edition and discontinuing pre-built Docker images. Personally, I'm torn. In my opinion, MinIO was the poster child for competent alternatives to popular SaaS software – and the false sense of security that it'd always be around because of its open-source nature is a bit of a gut punch (don't @ me – I know there are forks). On the other hand, sustainable open-source software is hard, despite what FOSS absolutists (who think favoriting posts on social media is considered 'support') might want you to think. If you haven't already, check out Garage or SeaweedFS when you're ready to move on – and consider throwing a few dimes their way to [hopefully] avoid a repeat situation. In other news, the U.S. Supreme Court began hearing a case between Cox and Sony that will determine if ISPs are required to terminate accounts that have engaged in engaged in piracy. Oral arguments have already been heard, with Cox arguing that widespread usage of university, hotel, and local ISP networks would leave them more negatively impacted than individual residential accounts. (Something tells me we're not likely to see a crackdown on AI piracy any time soon...) Other activity that may or may not interest you: Happy selfh.st/ing! Newswire
