Making a living on FOSS is hard, as you discovered.

I hope you succeed, of course. But since I have no good idea what your app is, except "a browser for developers" from the blog text, there is really no chance that I would ever search for this app, hear about it thru word of mouth, or eanything really that would make me end up testing your app.

Here's some other ways you could have tried to approach the situation:

- stop providing compiles, while selling access to the compiles on patreon or something. this way you can keep engagement from other developers and stay FOSS.

- offer commercial services around your app

spacepinball··on Systemd Opened Security Hole in Linux, VPNs Could Be Compromised
> Is anyone surprised?

It's hardly suprising that opponents like yourself dont even bother to read up on the issue being discussed.

Turns out (suprise!?) that the linux defaults in this case is even worse than what systemd provides.

spacepinball··on A Simulated Stable Planetary System with 416 Planets in the Habitable Zone
This would be like a gigantic space pinball as soon Oumuamua showed up.

Then it would just be a huge asteroid belt which would eventually form a normalized amount of planets.
