On the Fireside Fedi interview with Jerry ( the admin of Infosec.Exchange Mastodon instance ) a scary truth was suddenly revealed ( on 34:11 ): Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket. Donations to the instance barely cover any of that. And if he will ask people to pay to use it, they will, rightfully so, switch to a different instance.

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.

Includes an exclusive interview with Jerry.

The Complexity of Selling Libre Software and Freedom in General

We are Selling Freedom Wrong! And I don't think this problem only applies to Libre Software or the Fediverse. It think this problem is applicable broader. I think the sense of "the end of the world" that a lot of people are feeling right now, comes exactly from this problem. From the bad enshitified software we are forced to use, to the various wars around the globe, to the unsettling uprising of complete political instability. All of that is blamable on the same problem: We are Selling Freedom Wrong!.

This article is published on a website which is powered by BDServer. And I'm trying to make this website support ActivityPub, so you could for example, subscribe to me from your Mastodon account. Yet it is easier said than done.

If you have any experience with ActivityPub, web-development or Python, please consider helping me. We have BDServer Matrix Chatroom.

If you never was in post Soviet country in 2008 you don't know how much of a big deal this movie was. For Americans, I suppose, it was just another action film. For anybody who speaks Russian it was a miracle.

When a person breaks a leg, everybody runs to help. When a person breaks a brain, everybody runs away in fear.

For the last few months or so I was getting worse and worse. From the symptoms of vertigo and headaches to insane levels of fatigue. I thought that I'm for sure sick with something very bad.
