Can anyone explain Oxide's product beyond the (fairly terrible IMHO) site? Seems like some kind of prepackaged VMware-alike including rack + hardware + networking fused into a single uncustomizable product?

What is the intended application?

Thanks. It seems extremely reminiscent of e.g. the Cobalt RaQ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_RaQ ), but maybe "AWS Outposts for the rest of us" might be a more suitable contemporary parallel

Sorry, did you just call Laura a "hipster brogrammer"?

Is it true that the intent behind Oxide is that the customer can only run images signed by you?

Out of that tirade, you chose that to take exception to? Are we meant to interpret this as validation of the rest of the rant or what?

I don't know why people are so allergic to the terms private cloud, (hyper)converged infrastructure, cloud repatriation, etc.

It's because the well got poisoned by marketing teams selling things that were not actually a material improvement over what came before.
