  • Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

  • I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let's Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

  • After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

  • My first car did this rattle thing when you drove it past 15 miles. The windows would shake. Sometimes, the lock would stick and I had to "shake" the door to exit. One time, I turned the car on with the wrong key. The brakes were loose, where I had to slam on it to get it to stop. The backseat chairs were filled with stains. There were multiple dents on the side - I lived in a bad neighborhood so random dings all the time from other drivers.

    When I finally upgraded, I really felt like I had to pay THEM to take it. So when they made me an offer like $400, I said yes immediately. It was their problem now.

  • Damn the downvotes. Where is OP wrong?

    1. Wikipedia CEO literally said that's what he wants. He wants people to debate. He's done interviews where he doesn't want a single person to be the source of truth. The chaos is what brings consensus.
    2. You have to be stupid if you don't think companies don't pay people for this. It's really not difficult to hire a "Reputation Management" team to sprinkle positive information or at least control it. Im in team meetings about it, where we have staff members who moderate major social groups and lie about endorsements.

  • What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

  • Joplin.

    Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I've reached my limit of cost vs value.

    I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

    I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

  • If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?

    Jump

  • Most of them didn't allow registration. Then for the ones I did find, streaming videos was very slow and laggy. In some cases, I couldn't even view videos. And then, it seemed that I could only search for videos that existed on that particular instance.

    As a user, I feel this pain. The defenders of how "easy" it is to join federated services, it really isn't. There's choice paralysis as well as waiting for registration and verification. It's not smooth at all. Take a stop watch and set up a YouTube account, upload a video of a cat's butt, and it's like 2 minutes.

    As a person who rolled out my own servers, I understand the barriers. I don't have registration because my $5/month server can't handle it, performance-wise or spammers. Even uploading things on my server is slow.

    Hard problem to solve tbh and I don't have a solution
