@digitalraven I bought a used EPYC CPU + supermicro motherboard + 512GB RM combo å bit over å year ago for ~$1500.
The same combo today? Capped to 128GB RAM, at $2500. 1/4 the RAM at 1.7x the price for one year older hardware.
Oh and the hard drives we put in the server? Over 2x the price for the same capacity. The SSDs too.
It's so bad.
Google does *not at all* care about ABI stability, it's been an issue before that Google libraries change their ABI based on whether they're compiled with ASAN or not. It wouldn't surprise me that Google has now made their ABI depend on some random compiler flag that's different between what the libprotobuf system package is built with and what meson builds my project with. I hate Google so much.
never ever ever use Google C++ libraries if you can at all avoid it: a libprotobuf update on my system suddenly made my executable segfault *before main*.
Not the first time a libprotobuf update just randomly breaks everything. But it's usually *after* main. #programming #cplusplus
