PLEASE BOOST.

Okay, I'm going to ask. It's been a hell of a week and today has been especially difficult. I'm deeply unwell with disability and chronic illness and meds side effects and cannot cook anything currently. Would anyone be able to help me(disabled and under the poverty line trans guy) so I can get takeaway/things that are already cooked that just needs heating and actually eat today and this weekend? It would be greatly appreciated. My goal is $65 to cover a few nutritious meals for today and the weekend. Thank you♥️

Haack's Networking

✅️ I am currently in my 20th year in education and over the years I've worked in both secondary and college. I've been a sysadmin longer, having started at the NM Coalition for Literacy in 2000 while finishing college on the "long plan." I pivoted in 2018 back to the private sector and then back again to education in 2022. I've maintained this side company/DBA, Haack's Networking, throughout the entirety and I still have clients to this day that I began with in the early 2000s.

✍️ I've always been struck by the prohibitive cost of software. As a young kid, I remember my father purchased me MetroWorks CodeWarrior for learning C for my LC475 68K mac. I read somewhere in 1992 that I should learn C so that's why I asked for it. Over those next few months, it's hard to explain the frustration I felt at trying to keep the abstractions separated. Open firmware, vs. mac's OS at that time, vs., the IDE and C I was supposed to be learning. It helped at disambiguating abstractions, but was useless at teaching me C. I still suck at C. The package was pretty costly nevertheless.

📻️ While in my early days as a sysadmin, I remember the Adobe suites, Microsoft suites, etc., that we were obligated to keep up to date and purchase for our non-profit. We also had tons of macs, 5 laser printers, early flat panel displays, an early NAS, and a hard firewall (Sonic something). It was not sustainable for this non-profit whatsoever. After the prior Director left - who I still consider a mentor and friend to this day - others took over who made an effort to reduce spending and keep the tech lifts in line with reality. It was slow and painful, but/and I learned that costly is not better.

This is my happy place at the moment.

A small, improbable corner of the internet where kindness still grows wild between the pixels, people make me laugh, and I can occasionally put my feet up and simply be.

Thank you, all of you, for being here. 💜

I came looking for conversation and somehow acquired a little patch of warmth in the digital wilderness.

Terribly suspicious, really. I shall investigate further. 🧐✨

Über den Wert eines Safe Space

lsbt.me hat sich als Anlaufstelle für LGBTIQ+ Menschen und Allies etabliert. Mittlerweile nutzen 356 Personen diese Plattform als digitalen Raum, in dem queere Identitäten selbstverständlich sind und respektiert werden.

Solche Räume entstehen nicht von selbst und erhalten sich auch nicht ohne Aufwand. Die technische Infrastruktur erfordert dedizierte Server mit ausreichend Kapazität, professionelle Backups und kontinuierliche Wartung. Diese Kosten fallen monatlich an und werden derzeit hauptsächlich privat getragen, ergänzt durch einige wenige regelmäßige Spenden.

Um diesen Safe Space langfristig zu erhalten, sind wir auf Unterstützung aus der Community angewiesen. Wer beitragen möchte, findet alle Möglichkeiten unter: https://lsbt.me/about (fast ganz unten)

Jeder Beitrag, ob regelmäßig oder einmalig, hilft dabei, lsbt.me als verlässlichen Raum zu bewahren.

Danke für eure Teilnahme an dieser Community.

we should probably abandon the old meaning of open-source and move to something i call ethical-source

genAI involvement (excluding issues and PRs from outside users sent to a project that are not immediately turned down) immediately disqualifies a project from being ethical-source.

you're allowed to close your source so certain groups and people can only see it to block scraping and corporations, etc.

i fucking hate open-source, corposlop and more killed what open-source was supposed to be.
