That sounds interesting. Could you elaborate further?

There's a distinction to make: they are not only being "protective" of their IP, they are also very actively attacking the people that doesn't know legalese. Similar story with Oracle, if you need some reference to solidify what they're constantly pulling.

You were; almost always, actually.

It already was blocked, in a way.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/internetarchive/comments/1gpn54q/is...

> They are not specifically targeting Wayback Machine. Anything other than residential IP's are blocked, to my information. Such as IP's of cloud services like Hetzner, GCP, AWS... The list goes on. (from my comment there)

Any food without bread? Pizza without bread.

Lol.

How else will they sustain/maintain such a product and compete with the likes of GitHub? With donations? Good luck.

Same guy is behind these both.

That doesn't mean they are "normal PCs".

Define what is a "normal PC" to you, then. Is it just specs?

It's the opposite.

Could you elaborate on that? How exactly snaps are a "no go"?

Not much. But I heard a lot that it is way more stable and reliable. Since they are not working on multiple providers like Vagrant does (VMWare, VBox...) every function works without a complaint. It is undeniably a great way to spin up Ubuntu VMs. It has cloud-init too. So I don't think you'll be missing something from Vagrant.
