Walking across the street is also risky.
richardARPANET··on OVH Cloud shuts down Guerrilla Mail
It's clear from the Tweets that OVH didn't communicate properly. Due to that, they're on a blacklist now as far as I'm concerned.

richardARPANET··on Twitter still hasn't unlocked the New York Post's account

richardARPANET··on YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA
Very pathetic that Github took this repository down. I was about to move our company code over to Github from self hosted Gitlab, this move has put the a the brakes on that.
richardARPANET··on Debian donation for Peertube development
In short, if I challenge my mother to "Go to PeerTube and watch the video of a Panda falling over", she would not be able to do it.
richardARPANET··on Debian donation for Peertube development
I'm not sure it's due to the technical setup of the platforms. But rather that they're all built in SV and/or are controlled by monopolies that are the problem.

Myself and a few people are actually working on a video site with freedom of speech values and grandma level usability, feel free to follow along (https://project49476.com/).

richardARPANET··on Debian donation for Peertube development
IMO, PeerTube will never become popular due to its decentralized nature.

Big tech is doing everything in their power to make Biden win this election, yet he'll still lose.

Nice cushy free do-nothing job, I wonder what he did to deserve that :)
richardARPANET··on Show HN: Chrome Extension to list BitChute subs videos on your YouTube subs page
Some background info on this:

Every few weeks news pops up about a YouTuber being de-platformed. They usually end up migrating over to one of the alternative platforms (Vimeo, Bitchute, etc).

However, people are lazy bones and tend to continue to use YouTube as their main go-to for video content. Forgetting to visit those other platforms to catch up with the creators who YouTube gave the ban-hammer to.

EveryTube is a simple Chrome add-on which lists the content you subscribe to on other platforms and lists it along with your regular YouTube subscriptions your https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions page.

It currently supports Bitchute and I'm in the process of adding Vimeo support.

richardARPANET··on Container technologies at Coinbase: Why Kubernetes is not part of our stack
The CTO at a client of mine has spent over 1 year trying to deploy ~7 web services to k8s, hired 5 contractors to help and they still don't have a stable deployment.

I informed them my team could do it all in under two days using Terraform + AWS + EBS. Unfortunately, they didn't take us up on the offer.

Sunk cost, etc.

I've never seen a company use k8s and not end up with a giant expensive team maintaining it all.

richardARPANET··on Revolut staff claim they’ve been told to quit their jobs or be fired
It's a well-known fact the Revolut CEO is a spoiled baby and a douche. I blacklisted their company long ago due to this.

Time is money and this saves a tonne of it. You're free to code everything yourself and save that tiny amount of money of course if you like. Different people have different priorities.

Shameless plug incoming... I made the equivalent but for APIs using Google Sheets :) https://sheet2api.com/
