They haven’t updated their wikis for Operating Costs or Hosting since late 2022, somewhat aligned with their blog post on handling the mass influx of users from “E-day”.

Back then this was 6 AMD 5950 16/32 with 128GB of RAM and 2x3.84TB SSDs, with one “storage provider” with an AMD epyc 32/64 with 400GB of RAM and 10TB of storage.

Their hosting provider doesn’t offer these same SKUs, but roughly equivalent could be about €200/mo for each of the former, and the beefiest high RAM option is like €800/mo, totalling €2K/mo?

Curious how much the infrastructure has grown, but I haven’t seen anything else. Even so, these costs are extremely high.

Curious question, why would IPv6 introduce additional latency?

Wake me up when they have enough senators voting to convict.

They have $3.6B in free cash flow. This is just a decrease from last year, which was a record, to this year, a year in which new car sales outside of China are massively down everywhere.

Users annoyed; do nothing.

If you think you can stop using products of companies whose executives support the Republican Party, you’re quickly going to find yourself in the Stone Age.

Nearly every corporate executive, for nearly every company, is likely to be a Republican.

Even Tim Cook, an outspoken homosexual who has previously been the target of Trump-led MAGA vitriol, just recently expressed support and donated a million dollars to Trump.

People will just posture and harumph, yet keep buying Samsung, Google, and Apple cell phones, or use Enamel baby formula, or eat meat and vegetables grown using John Deere and Monsanto products…

I could go on, but there is no need to depress myself.

To be fair, they are also running the democrats, the independents, etc, etc.

Because they make more profit from that 30% than they make from hardware sales. That’s all there is to it.

The FBI and prosecution should do their fucking job and build a case, instead of relying on illegal search and seizure.

Only issue with the technology is that the waves were not dynamic; they were deterministic/the same every race.

Imagining that a prosecutor could achieve the burden of proof on this is wishful thinking. This is yet another post title passing off opinion as fact.

Actual title from the article:

Logan Act: Why it could be illegal for Trump to call Putin

Unless he or Putin come out and explicitly state he was performing diplomacy on behalf of the United States, and not e.g., conducting “personal business”, there is literally no case.

Sure that personal business is undoubtedly quid pro quo, but that’s technically not illegal… just corrupt as fuck.

It itself is not FOSS, but Network Chuck just had a decent video on setting up ThinLinc for his editing team. I believe it is free for ten or fewer users. There is an admin function that allows you to observe what another user is doing (session shadowing).

In general, for native FOSS, I’m pretty sure you can specify the screen port in VNC, and connect multiple users to the same port, but you’d have to double check the configuration file. Can likely also be done with XRDP.

TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

It was absolutely worth the money ruling it out. That’s literally how science works.
