I'm just a humble country chicken admin, but I've been thinking a lot about the cost of the fediverse and how we can improve it for all of the instances... in a coop kind of way
The cost of handing all of the media is THE major problem for me atm.
@shlee@Tubsta@decryption almost all colo providers will charge the same for IX / transit traffic. You are effectively buying at a “blended rate”. Transit is now so cheap that unless you are doing more than 1 gig/s sustained it is not worth getting your own ASN and ip range. At the current trend I’d even suggest not bothering below 10 gig/s.
I’ve built a few ISPs and colo networks over the years, I’d be happy to sit down with you and run through the economics of transit , peering and the different price points where changes in network design makes sense.
Banning kids from social media instead of investing in anything that would mitigate the problems kids being on social media is such a neolib move. Fuck off tony Blaire ass new labor bullshit.
VMware Fusion/Workstation Pro: Now Available Free for Personal Use
I don't understand why Broadcom would do something good.. but "The text “This product is licensed for personal use only” within the product user interface is not present when a commercial license is used. There are otherwise no functional differences." is pretty great.
I've been paying for both Workstation and Fusion for years! and now I can just stop giving them money!
@shlee because it’s a dead product that none of their top 500 global accounts use. They’ll keep half a dozen support engineers and a non-dedicated programmer or two to fix critical bugs, but it’s going to rot away in one or two major host-OS updates
@shlee I’ll give it a crack, I’ve done some modifications on STLs before in F360, not sure how well it’ll work because I’ve never used the emboss/deboss tool before
