much as NATS or MAS costs just to have the source and be free
to make changes as I choose.

I'll even get back into coder mode and join the effort!
NATS/MPA3 aren't the only products on the market. I think plenty are open source, out of the box ready to go, and much cheaper too.

Linux is an OS, which requires you to have to great skill to work on, or pay someone to manage or pay a host/manage. You Pay to manage this "free" software that 1000's of others help create/clean up which created one insecure mess.

Linux is a great OS - don't get me wrong, but it for sure has had its world of problems with hacks and exploits.

I can script and I have a coder. I don't care that it's encoded because I already attach/modify and expand NATS in pretty much anyway that I can dream up. Having it encoded to me, means we can't break it. I don't pay monthly for nats. I only use support once or twice every few months, normally for questions. I have owned my own backend software/coders/admins, and mpa and nats..

I find my life to be very simple these days.... and I like it.
