Vänsterpartiet syns inte och hörs inte. En orsak till det är att partiledningen bestämt sig för att ligga lågt så att de kanske på nåder kan få en plats vid köttgrytorna och ingå i regeringen. I det läget går det inte att säga nåt som retar upp sossarna. Vilket idag betyder att det inte går att säga nåt alls.

How Putin won the Romanian election
Politico clarifies that the overwhelming majority of votes were cast for Calin Georgescu not because of a sudden love for Russia, as is generally presented in the West, but because of the deep disappointment of the residents of the Balkan country with their authorities.
“People have developed this idea that everything is manipulated anyway, everything is decided behind closed doors and what you see and who you vote for is much less important,” she said. “People’s perception is that political life and institutions are dominated by these murky networks of interest … I think to a large extent that perception is correct.”
said Oana Popescu-Zamfir, director of the Bucharest-based Foreign and Security Policy Analytical Center.

Installing Proxmox on a DELL Optiplex 3020
Truenas Scale has got me used to ZFS but clear may not be an option with Optiplex 3020 as ZFS is pointless with one SSD.
Has anyone got some similar arrangement and has their VMs and containers running on these simple desktop machines? How are you managing high availability and resilience?

Mastodon Annual Report 2023
Annual Report 2023
If you're curious how Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.Mastodon Blog

They do, at least, acknowledge this:
We recognise that this Annual Report for 2023 is arriving later than we had intended. Going forward, we plan to release our Annual Report for 2024 in Q1 of 2025, where we will establish clear and ambitious goals for 2025 and beyond. This adjusted timeline allows us to provide more timely insights and better align our reporting with our ongoing growth and development.

Also I guess it makes sense that they've been too busy with everything else to have a timely release of a perfectly crafted annual report.
It would be nice to have a report earlier because I'm interested, but in terms of transparency needs this is fine.
If a team of three full time employeesand a limited budget had plenty of time to write up reports, that would maybe be a bit of a red flag as well.

in reply to Lojcs • • •I'd say ask the original developer directly. Getting your changes merged upstream should be the preferred option for you, the original dev and the users. If everything goes right, you both could figure out a way to do this, maybe by re-introducing your refactorings and fixes one by one in smaller pull requests. Maybe you could become a maintainer in the process and support the original dev long term so everybody wins.
If the original developer doesn't respond or declines you could think about bringing your own fork forward. Think about the consequences though, the original dev might get frustrated by a competing fork and abandon the project completely. The users on the other hand might be confused or insecure about which version to choose. Your fork must offer a lot for them to jump ship and switch.
Generally I'd say open source is about working together, not against one another, so just shoot them a message and see where it goes.
