03:45:12EvanBoehs|m joins
03:45:30<EvanBoehs|m>pabs: ello
03:45:40<pabs>yo
03:45:55<pabs>EvanBoehs|m is the author of the bountysource post I linked above
03:46:11<EvanBoehs|m>I can't see history, I hope all good discussion!
03:46:35<EvanBoehs|m>yeah so my blog didn't do much interesting until quite recently, and it was interesting to see it on HN a few months ago, but there's this constant thing where it drops incredibly unaturally off the front page
03:46:46<EvanBoehs|m>it's either moderators or user reports that can trigger that
03:47:19<EvanBoehs|m>works in mysterious ways, I really wish they had a modlog
03:47:44<nicolas17>EvanBoehs|m: there wasn't much discussion here actually ^^
03:48:05<nicolas17>other than me finding out from a link on your blog post that the wayback machine had an outage
03:48:27<EvanBoehs|m>oh that's rare, I don't think I've ever seen that
03:50:12<nicolas17>a friend in another chat made an interesting point though
03:50:23<nicolas17>"if we talk about open source ecosystem being a disaster, the fact that we're bothered to discuss $17k as a hit to it is extremely telling in itself"
03:50:48<pabs>quite
03:51:29<EvanBoehs|m>Yeah, it's unfortunate. I actually thought bountysource was a good idea. All this was because I was talking about OSS funding with a friend today and I was trying to find the service, and it just disappeared
03:51:32pabs if there are any sane alternatives to bountysource
03:51:56<nicolas17>like in an ideal world 17k would be a single bounty's amount not the whole unpaid pool
03:52:08<pabs>the fossjobs wiki has some other bounty sites btw https://github.com/fossjobs/fossjobs/wiki/Resources
03:52:16<nicolas17>pabs: bountysource was owned by a blockchain company
03:52:28<pabs>that tells you everything you need to know...
03:52:35<nicolas17>while the alternative sites I know of are *actually* using cryptocurrency in the service, so it's even worse
03:52:39<EvanBoehs|m>algora.io seems ok
03:52:40<fireonlive>x_x
03:52:51<EvanBoehs|m>nicolas17: not originally
03:53:03<fireonlive>that name rings a bell.. but I can't place it
03:53:12pseudorizer quits [Remote host closed the connection]
03:53:14<nicolas17>I mean I don't think bountysource ever implemented cryptocurrency payments even after acquisition, did they?
03:53:43pseudorizer (pseudorizer) joins
03:54:04<nicolas17>meanwhile you have shit like gitcoin
03:54:33<EvanBoehs|m>Not positive, I actually only discovered after post acquisition (but before it went to hell) and my opinion always was it looked a little sketchy so i didn't investigate more
03:54:54<nicolas17>which being based on an Ethereum token seems to mainly fund crypto-adjacent projects anyway
03:55:07<EvanBoehs|m>there's an open issue in liberapay to support pay-per-work I believe
03:55:33<EvanBoehs|m>but liberapay right now is exclusively a donations platform, so you contractually cannot offer service in response to a donation
03:55:53<nicolas17>I'd like some non-binding "I'm interested in *this* project" thing on liberapay at least
03:56:21<EvanBoehs|m>https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/issues/839
03:56:47<nicolas17>I'm spread over a dozen projects, you're giving me money, what do you want me to work on
03:57:11<EvanBoehs|m>yeah I agree, liberapay should at the very least add a "message" field
03:58:18<EvanBoehs|m>I've been messing around a lot with donations, nothing has been successful overall (my revenue per 1000 visitors is around $0.85 right now, so that means it would take 100 million viewers to make a living)
03:58:34<EvanBoehs|m>I thought that liberapay might be a barrier as it's so esoteric, but the kofi didn't change anything
03:58:56<fireonlive>pabs: https://oql.avris.it/
03:59:23<EvanBoehs|m>I was hoping I could pull a daring fireball and get rich as fuck off corporate sponsorships, https://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/, but no company has bit
03:59:39<EvanBoehs|m>so idk, i might just remove the donation links
03:59:45<pabs>yeah, I just put that in AB fireonlive :)
03:59:51<fireonlive>:)
04:00:10<fireonlive>oh i missed that
04:00:25<fireonlive>copped it from a discussion a friend and I had earlier today haha
04:00:28<EvanBoehs|m>I support this license. Just like I supported redis
04:00:45<nicolas17>I'm spread over enough things and niche-enough things that that's unlikely to work :p
04:00:47<EvanBoehs|m>The OSI has stupid definitions of open source
04:00:48<nicolas17>at least now I'm trying to make things more visible
04:01:01<fireonlive>nicolas17, spread out?
04:01:02<EvanBoehs|m>and the only conceivable benefit to it is that it helps large companies
04:01:04<fireonlive>hm
04:01:15<pabs>fireonlive: its also linked by the the other post I sent aboue https://hazy.sh/blog/i-dont-care-what-the-osi-thinks
04:01:41<fireonlive>ah!
04:01:47<fireonlive>:)
04:01:59pabs wonders if we ever saved OSI
04:02:02<EvanBoehs|m>like literally none of these points make any sense https://ssplisbad.com/
04:02:05<nicolas17>it was annoying me when I researched Apple stuff and talked about it in chat, and then someone *else* tweeted it and got credited by MacRumors, and then I realized if that's bothering me then why don't I tweet it first
04:02:44<EvanBoehs|m>Life isn't fair
04:02:46<EvanBoehs|m>Objectively
04:03:08<EvanBoehs|m>I mean again, I've learned a lot trying to write for profit over these past few months.
04:03:10<EvanBoehs|m>Another fun one
04:03:45<EvanBoehs|m>Is that I got 1m views on my XZ article. I was one of the first to write about it. And then I was outranked by the NYT and a million other sites that linked to me but did nothing original
04:03:52<nicolas17>the redis situation is kinda weird because the company saying "we need to fund development!" was not the original developer of redis and is not even doing most of the commits now
04:04:06<EvanBoehs|m>and I mean it was cool that I got linked to by the new york times but meh traffic
04:04:33<pabs>have you written anything for LWN EvanBoehs|m ?
04:04:40<EvanBoehs|m>No
04:05:12<pabs>https://lwn.net/op/AuthorGuide.lwn
04:05:18<EvanBoehs|m>Am I allowed to publish LWN articles to my own site as well?
04:05:45<pabs>I think after the 2 week paywall ends yeah
04:05:57<pabs>they don't pay a large amount though
04:06:10<pabs>"We will currently pay $400 for well-done articles from new authors. That figure does go up quite substantially for authors who, over time, establish a record of good writing and on-time contributions. "
04:06:28<EvanBoehs|m>That's a hell of a lot better than my current rates, let me tell you
04:06:54<EvanBoehs|m>I mean its the same thing with substack. Substack gets a lot of hate for its annoying popups. But I bet they work
04:06:56<pabs>" We ask that you grant LWN exclusive rights to publish your work during the LWN subscription period - currently up to two weeks after publication."
04:07:26<EvanBoehs|m>Being good to readers costs me money, I wrote about that here: https://boehs.org/node/llms-destroying-internet
04:07:41<EvanBoehs|m>pabs: Cool, I might reach out
04:08:08<pabs>good luck :)
04:08:14<nicolas17>did you see the article about the assholes in charge of Google Search nowadays? :P
04:08:27<EvanBoehs|m>I think so, didn't get to read it
04:09:25<nicolas17>https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
04:10:15<EvanBoehs|m>Yeah, its in my todo that one
04:12:02<EvanBoehs|m>My next plan to try to make money was to make a commercial service and use my own advertising framework that was originally designed for corporate sponsorships to promote it. At my traffic levels, it might work.
04:12:38<EvanBoehs|m>I was going to make it open source, whatever it might be, but I am seriously reconsidering
04:13:02<EvanBoehs|m>With XZ and this and all the other abuse I've documented and still intend to document, my faith in foss is at an all time low
04:13:29<EvanBoehs|m>which saddens me
04:14:31<EvanBoehs|m>lol maybe my thing is i recreate bountysource
04:22:55<nicolas17>https://snowdrift.coop/ seems like a cool idea that has had way too slow development progress
04:24:35<nicolas17>and it looks like they put more effort in comprehensibly documenting how the model works and why it's the right way to do it
04:24:37<nicolas17>https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/about
04:24:40<nicolas17>than in actually implementing it
04:26:40<nicolas17>"We've been pretty quiet for the past… er… five(?) years." -- July 2021
04:26:53<nicolas17>looks like you can actually send money to snowdrift itself using the platform? wow progress
04:29:52<EvanBoehs|m>nicolas17: That's so real
04:34:00<nicolas17>EvanBoehs|m: https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/about/existing-mechanisms
04:34:51<EvanBoehs|m>Snowdrift also has the most comprehensive documentation of competing services I've ever seen
04:35:58<pabs>someone should archive their stuff
04:36:11<EvanBoehs|m>I mean they're right that all the ways to get paid for free stuff sucks. The problem is that people aren't paying me right now, and I don't see how snowdrift would change that
04:37:09<pabs>you would probably be getting paid if FOSS won instead of Apple/etc :)
04:37:43<EvanBoehs|m>lowkey I was mostly hoping tidelift would pay me to put their ads in https://tidelift.com/
04:37:48<EvanBoehs|m>fits perfectly into the article
04:37:54<EvanBoehs|m>unfortunately, they have not offered
04:38:34pabs wonders when hire.sr.ht will come online
04:38:37<EvanBoehs|m>oh the maintainer pitch is better https://tidelift.com/about/lifter
04:39:03<EvanBoehs|m>thanks, I've applied to LWN
04:39:17<nicolas17>is tidelift still all about language-package-manager dependencies?
04:40:10<nicolas17>it was funny to see one of the founders saying "this is why we made tidelift" on twitter in response to the xz situation, when I don't think xz / Lasse Collin would be eligible for tidelift
04:40:24<EvanBoehs|m>Oh you're right that is funny
04:40:54<EvanBoehs|m>Still, their model makes sense to me. Sell some... I don't even know... Some whatever service to corporations and then use that to turn around and fund FOSS
04:40:58<EvanBoehs|m>like it is a solid plan
04:41:47<pabs>there was another one that caused the funding to go deeper into dependency trees, thought that was better
04:42:27<pabs>but none of these FOSS funding projects even consider individual contributors, they are all about maintainers. not thinking holistically
04:42:41<nicolas17>yeah
04:42:42<nicolas17>or tools
04:43:02<EvanBoehs|m>oh I know which one you're talking about, the dependency tree one, let me find it
04:43:55<nicolas17>SaaS company paying tidelift for the 1000 node.js dependencies they use won't end up paying the developers of the FOSS text editor they also use
04:44:38<EvanBoehs|m>this was it https://www.stackaid.us/
04:45:31<EvanBoehs|m>I mean again I truely believe the only way to have your project be both open source and profitable is to put it under a license corporations hate and sell proper ones
04:46:01<EvanBoehs|m>https://social.coop/@eb/112129550519631124
04:48:11<pabs>I think there are projects like Blender that show an alternative to offering paid special licenses to corporations
04:48:21<pabs>Stackaid, that was it
04:49:39<EvanBoehs|m>I don't know how blender made it work. I do agree that they are somehow making it work. I just don't know how. They very much are the exception
04:49:53<EvanBoehs|m>And even then, if it was commercial we both know they'd make 10x more
04:58:06<pabs>yeah
04:59:04<pabs>its basically crowdfunding, get a large audience and small payments per contributor, incentivise contribution at every point. Krita and others are doing similar things
05:00:32systwi quits [Remote host closed the connection]
05:00:37<pabs>probably they are doing more things though
05:00:54<nicolas17>Krita is charging for the app on proprietary app stores
05:01:21<EvanBoehs|m>Of the $1300 I've ever made from programming, $250 was from astro, which I am eternally grateful for. They just decided to give me money!

05:05:04<EvanBoehs|m>I paid $600 for a company a few months ago because of apple
05:06:19<nicolas17>wat

05:07:24<EvanBoehs|m>No, I founded one

22:19:15<katia>what time did it say when you ordered
22:19:20<nyany>kiska: 120 seconds, honestly we're talking OVH
22:19:22<kiska>About an hour ago?
22:19:24<nyany>it can take a few hours
22:19:36<nyany>they should honestly just change the seconds part to minutes
22:19:41<kiska>OVH has also duplicated the order and charged me twice...
22:19:45<@JAA>I still can't find anything but laptops with the Ryzen 7440U. :-|

22:24:52<kiska>Specifically in the EU or is it worldwide?
22:25:02<kiska>Or rather does OVH apply it worldwide?
22:25:07<nyany>Not sure
22:25:23<nyany>I mean you didn't mean to order 2 servers so I'm sure support is gonna understand that

22:27:28<@JAA>nyany: No, I mean looking at their server offers and not seeing immediately what disks they have. At best, you get a hint whether it's HDD or SSD through the name on the SYS servers. But else you need to go through every single one.
22:27:29<nyany>I didn't even realize Hetzner did that as a matter of fact until I cancelled one of my auction servers like 6 days after it was delivered and I didn't get charged
22:27:35<nyany>Oh right
22:27:47<nyany>they tell you HDD or SSD but dont really tell you until you either go to purchase it or expand for more info
22:27:49<nyany>it's annoying

22:30:55<nyany>That's one of the Kimsufis I have, and the one that I rely on the most for archiving
22:30:55<@JAA>What's even better about the disk thing is that there is a filter, but you can only choose between SATA/NVMe and filter by disk size. You can't filter HDD vs SSD.
22:31:42<@JAA>NVMe is going to be SSD of course, but SATA could be either.
22:31:58<@JAA>It's so fucking stupid...

22:38:10<@JAA>Funnily, I've only seen Surfshark in mocking quotes, not in actual sponsor messages. It's always been NordVPN there. Guess I don't watch the 'right' videos.
