Hi everyone,

I need to raise $280 this month for October groceries and platform maintenance.

I’m a disabled Indonesian independent writer and mutual aid organiser, and this work is sustained largely through community support rather than a fixed salary.

$80 is for groceries for the second half of October, with a deadline of 15 October. I’ve already covered my electricity, water, and internet for the month, and I still have enough food to get me through roughly the middle of October. I just need to make sure I can restock for the final two weeks.

The remaining $200 is for one year of VPS hosting for wrzky.com and mutualaidspace.org, with a deadline of 20 October. My current shared web hosting renews on 30 October, so I need that time to set up the VPS, migrate and test both production sites, switch everything over properly, and make sure there is no service interruption, especially on mutualaidspace.org. Hopefully, we can meet this goal a lot sooner than that.

mutualaidspace.org is the public-facing mutual aid infrastructure I’ve been building: campaign amplification, submitted requests, weekly roundups, and federation across the Fediverse. The server-side work has grown beyond what makes sense to keep forcing through shared hosting.

wrzky.com needs to move with it. It's my publishing home, and it's also where I build and test federation infrastructure and prototypes before developing them further for mutualaidspace.org. Some of that prototype work has been sitting on hold, and keeping wrzky.com on shared hosting would leave the development side of the project under the same limits I’m trying to move away from.

If you have money you can redistribute, please send some of it towards the $280 goal. $5, $10, $20, whatever is within your capacity; all of it moves me closer to having food covered and getting both sites onto infrastructure that can actually sustain the work.

🔗 https://ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal
🔗 Other options: https://wrzky.com/links

If you can’t contribute financially, please redistribute the request itself: boost it, repost it, share it with your networks, or put it in front of someone who can contribute. I need both money and distribution to get this covered by the deadlines. Thank you, thank you 💜

Spent tonight talking with 3 other fedi platform devs.

On paper, we're competitors.

In reality, we're family.

Family shares what they know. Family shows up. Family wants you to win.

That's what building for people instead of profit looks like.

Panoramablick auf die Donau in Linz Vordergrund: Blick von einer Fußgänger- und Radfahrerrampe mit Passanten und Radfahrern, die parallel zum Ufer verläuft. Rechts ragen zwei weiße Fahnenmasten auf, an denen Fahnen hängen (u. a. die rot-weiß-rote Flagge Österreichs). Mittelgrund (Gewässer): Die Donau bei ruhigem Wasser und klarem, blauem Himmel. Auf dem Fluss liegen mehrere weiße Flusskreuzfahrtschiffe und Ausflugsboote vor Anker bzw. an den Anlegestellen. Hintergrund: Am gegenüberliegenden Ufer sind moderne Gebäude – darunter das Lentos Kunstmuseum – sowie markante Hochhäuser und dahinter die dicht bewaldeten Hügel des Linzer Umlands zu erkennen.

Good morning, #BSDCafe

Good morning, #Fediverse

Sunny and warm here, as usual. The day will be long and quite interesting. I'm waiting for a 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE', waiting for a 2FA code for a commercial "secure" VPN to arrive (spoiler: I've been waiting for more than one hour. Old man yells at bad and inefficient solutions), and I badly want a Tiramisu.

Meanwhile, here's a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. I like the geometry in this photo and the shadows.

I hope you'll have a great day!
