Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Crosspost, hat-tip to @pnwpixel@programming.dev for finding this. Omarchy announces another patron: DigitalOcean. I will wait for DO to explicitly confirm/deny this, but if this is true then I'm going to be moving my entire small-business footprint.
Oh, gods damn it. I'm only going to have a couple of servers to move, but it's going to be a huge pain in the ass. What VM provider is recommended these days for USAian customers?
I'm probably going to increase my presence on DreamHost in California, who I've hosted with for over a decade. They historically are First Amendment proponents known for being quietly friendly towards adult content; also, in 2017 DH pushed back on the Department of Justice's subpoena for 1.3 million IP addresses visiting an anti-Trump protest-organizing website. That said, I'm 100% prepared for yet another Milkshake Duck Moment.
Looking forward to being able to send email, which DigitalOcean still blocks in order to funnel customers towards hosted email-delivery services.
Check out https://upcloud.com/. EU based, but have servers in the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific: https://upcloud.com/docs/getting-started/locations/

So fascism and slop. Name a more iconic couple.
