Oh well, there goes the removal of my monthly donation.

It’s an English sport, or at least it was. It’s not anymore.

It’s becoming more artificial, and having DHL fastest pistop bullshit, Pirelli fastest lap etc. Everything is just an opportunity to increase cashflow. I know it has always been a business first, but I saw this stuff 20+ years ago on indycar/NASCAR and made me gag then. I’m just old school now, and prefer lower tech cars and a straightforward show without artificial drama.

The green washing has also put me off the sport after 26 years. That and the Americanisation/enshitification of the show.

I’m about 1.5 years into it. Lost most passion for the job, but there are flashes of motivation here and there. Considering trying to move into full time development, but that would take a lot of effort. Tired of keeping up with the kubernetes ecosystem too.

Knowing this is a volunteer project, I’d never request renumeration. If I were contracting with a large company, I guess I’d charge 300-500 per day. That’s just based on quotes I get on LinkedIn, as I’ve never worked as a contractor. Also I couldn’t have it interfere with my main job, where I’m also on call, so it would be lower priority.

I have the experience, but not the energy nor passion as I am almost burned out already. I hope you find some awesome people.

If you have to tell somebody you’re the alpha, then you’re definitely not the alpha.

“He really Musked it this time”.

Yeah I have. I work in tech, so I know better :)

My truenas backs up to B2 Backblaze. Set it up years ago and haven’t touched it since.

I don’t see the desert.

I’m aware of that, hence why I said accelerate

Which will accelerate the destruction of the planet. Yay!

Right, vox will be just great… If you’re a fascist.

Nope, especially since it’s the biggest contributor to it.

MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.

Nope, always hated it. Being in Europe just makes it worse since everybody smokes here.

Let’s not needlessly be dicks about it.

You do you. I will be whatever I want about it however.

Darn tootin’.
