Just don't switch to those new shiny useless/bad frameworks?

In the name of wars... they hold progress back.

I once saw a simple rocket control method removed from Hackaday because of a similar reason. It was basically, motorized fins to control direction.

Not implying anything? Can you explain why you think that? Do you think that about every fact that you are presented?

https://www.lowendstock.com/ (I pay $10/year for my VPS') ... and I think I have better uptime then Amazon.
But you know it wouldn't if it had to rely on your home connection AND Amazon. It's like all those major website that rely on 10 domains to serve one webpage...
Personally, I use email less and less, thanks to Matrix. I wish websites would stop requiring an email address for signing up though (and phone numbers for that matter).
