I'm moving instances!
You can find me on @adasauce@radical.town now.
Domain blocks on here were cutting me off from some folx that I interact with on the sometimes, and making threads impossible to follow.
Still love the locals I've found here, expect to see lots of follow requests coming from my new home.
Hopefully this is the last time I'm setting up shop again.
See you all on the other side!
what if we collectively paywalled corporations for access to open source software? π€
where authors joined a union of sorts and required a fee per month to the union organization for permission to use the software to "increase shareholder value". then the union redistributed the funds based on which projects were generating the income.
we'd create a community where the members are all motivated to maintain the software and contribute to member projects.
now tell me why this is bad and wrong.
people talking about making self-hosting mail more accessible to set up and run day-to-day.
<dream>
turn this hairball: π©
- clamd
- dovecot
- fail2ban
- postfix
- rspamd
- apache / nginx
- mysql
- sogo
- solr
into this:
./smallmail-server
implement SMTP & IMAP, secure and encrypted by default, forget "enterprise" & scale-out features, bake in backups.

@catalina you yawned again, didn't you?
very vertical poem, cw to save your timeline
this is the
story
of
a girl
who
gets a favor
from
someone
who
actually
possesses some power.
So I
go
back to
my
mole
and I paint
something
in the shape
of
a
cannon
that I shoot at the enemy.
I
just
want to
show
the enemy
that they
can
only
run
their little cannon
against
me
with their willing brains
and
their
weak
little
limbs.
open source economics
A recent article by Zeynep Tufekci in Wired clued me in to this GitHub thread on core-js adding a donation request to its postinstall script: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/548
It's kind of incredible to me the amount of self-righteousness and entitlement in that thread. The real tragedy is that unpaid maintainers are doing all this work for free, and big corporations are happily exploiting it without a care in the world.

trans, beatings -
should've heeded the CW, didn't think it would be so bad.
spiraled back to being a broken puddle of pain on the ground, brothers kicking and breaking me through screaming into crying and would only stop delivering pain once I would stop crying. "STOP BEING SUCH A GIRL ABOUT IT." "MAN UP."
I told someone about this recently and got "well i'm sure their heart was in the right place. they were trying to protect you". π©
