Uncle PG, your local alcoholic anime LARPing night owl text-walling love-and-hope poster. The resident old man and self-appointed conscience of "dark fedi". Bona-fide certified wifeguy. Queer-friendly enough to be accused of being a chaser. Great Value brand generic socialist. Linux cis-admin/DBA and PHP dev, self-hosting fanatic, Gentoo adherent, general freetard, and all-around chatterbox. Posts always underrated, opinions usually overstated, liver often saturated, instance broadly federated.

There is something to be said about how much non profit money is funneled to ceos and not foss contributors but people are wondering why f-droid needs money like they dont need to host servers with good bandwidth to run an App Store.

His take is just typical lolbert shit "Uh if the gov had minimal to no taxes then I could choose to send my money to these projects without politics clouding it" ignoring that most people just won't send money to foss projects because people hate paying for "free things" so you have to be lucky and hope you get a super rich donor to bankroll it. See Conda Forge which is the largest used FOSS conda repository used by labs and companies big and small (since the official anaconda stuff has funky licensing). If it wasn't bankrolled no company would fund it and they would be happy to leech off the repos like AWS and azure do with linux ones.

The older I get the more I move in the total opposite direction: I don't like using any free services because some company is going to shit it up for profit. Everything I rely on is self-hosted (fedi, chat, web applications) or I pay for the service (email, search), whether because I picked a service that isn't free (Kagi) or because I want to support it (Signal).

I will never host content on ipv6. You can take that to the bank.

Worst pet peeve imaginable: when a thing almost but absolutely will not fit into a space.

"Are you a good boy? Only good boys get chew toys" she says as she hands me another toothpick to gnaw on.

What in the everloving fuck is this shit. Total advertiser death.

People would rather tell someone to go to therapy than go to therapy (no one who has gone to therapy will ever recommend therapy)
