It’s an Israeli company, that’s a no from me boss.

I am technical person and I don’t care either.

while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.

The fuck do I need incentives for, just make a good game. Oh that’s right, these incentives aren’t for the consumers, they’re to take advantage of them.

There are copilot ads in the dotnet docs.

Jellyfin has a BDFL and is an organisation with assets, so it’s not impossible. However, considering it was forked from Emby by GPL nerds in response to licensing issues, I think it’s very unlikely.

They took VC funding (which is also bad), selling to private equity is very different (they strip mine businesses).

I’m in the same situation. I wouldn’t call Jellyfin better, but I far prefer using something that’s not becoming progressively hostile to my use-case of self-hosted media.

I don’t know why you’d equate might-enshittify to already-enshittifying. Especially when Jellyfin isn’t VC-funded, the leading indicator for enshittification.

This TechDirt post is from yesterday, but the WotC issued a retraction last week. Great reporting?

Níl fhios agam.

Stick with it for now, just be aware they need to make money at some point.

I’m hesitant to promote vc-funded software, but Tailscale would probably the simplest setup for VPN.

Irish person who swears a lot here (to the point of being reprimanded by US-based HR at work), you’re taking a massive risk saying “cunt” in a professional setting. Getting fired rather than reprimanded seems pretty harsh though.

I’m sorry you feel that way, but you literally started off by doing that.

This seems like a lot of text for saying “unless you can predict all the specific ways a bad thing could happen, I think putting all your eggs in one basket is fine.” And under some circumstances you’d be right.

That’s why I said I don’t trust them to not fuck up, not that it’s something that should ordinarily be expected. Additionally, especially considering how the rule of law in their jurisdiction is going recently I wouldn’t assume it will always be this way.

Your registrar (the place you buy your domains) is where you update your nameservers. If Cloudflare have locked you out then you won’t be able to change them. Other standard registrars will have far less cause, legitimate or not, to lock or disable your account, since they don’t host/proxy your content.

I wouldn’t buy domains from Cloudflare from a risk mitigation perspective. At work I direct six figures of budget their way annually, but as a free-tier customer in my personal life I don’t trust them not to fuck up at some point and lock my account. If I register my domain elsewhere I can bring myself back online by moving the nameservers. If it’s registered at Cloudflare I’m fucked.

The fuck is Forejo. I’m running a personal Forgejo instance and have contributed to the project. It is not for-profit.
