They've stopped sponsoring SF Pride, even though their "we're so inclusive" bits on their website are still up.

They own a LOT of brands, so check out the Wiki and avoid them like the plague.

DataCrunch is based in Finland and provides long time rental of bare metal servers, short time use of instances similar to EC2 and serverless container hosting. The latter is particularly interesting since they come with autoscaling and queue support out of the box. We have been using Fargate, but then you can’t go completely serverless with GPUs and the queue is a separate entity. We deployed our first model using a vLLM docker image in days without having used the system before. We will probably moving existing model hosting from AWS to DataCrunch as well.

I've been testing Jottacloud, aiming to find a replacement for my family iCloud setup.

I didn't find quite that, but I did find a true gem with a well-designed CLI tool for niche platforms, Apple TV app and overall good vibes.

Highly recommend them, and if you want to read more about my experience so far, and how I enjoyed talking to a support first time in years, please read the blog post.

That may be true technologically. But if the economics don't add up it's a bubble.

Why do you assume the developer has to implement what could be paid for?

If 80% of your income comes from a single company that pays you to develop the features they want, can you afford to decline specific requests without risking that client? Probably not. Without income diversification, you can quickly end up in a situation where your client dictates your work.

Why is the assumption that devs will give up agency?

Because financial dependence limits choice. When a developer relies on just a few clients, those clients gain leverage over them, making it difficult to turn down requests, even if they’d prefer to.

And why the assumption that all paid requests will be by corporations?

Because private individuals rarely spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get a feature implemented. A more realistic approach for individual users would be crowdfunding or pooling resources to fund specific features.

Then corporations will decide even more where open source projects are going. If you pay me you decide where the project is going, not me.

However, if core development is unrelated to my income, I have full control over it's fate and don't need to implement what's in the interest of some shitty corporation.

When the image of "Nicole" is loaded, your computer/phone connects to another server and transfers your IP address. But it currently looks like it's not that big of a problem. Still a fix will be implemented soon to prevent this.

This would break a lot of sites

Thanks! Completely overlooked that

Have you talked with a therapist?

[–] tfm@europe.pub 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's pretty optimistic

I think it's some powder you mix with water and heat up.

Does it really matter? Many laboratories around the world experiment with highly dangerous viruses and that one leaked. Not that I like it but it's still a fact.

Hmm do you have a link to docs for that? 🤔
