Another #opensource project dies of neglect, leaving thousands scrambling - theregister.com/2025/12/02/ing… "Paying Ingress NGINX maintainers for their work might have avoided this outcome" this really needs fixing...

People ask why I stopped working on FOSS tools for electronics design (and criticise that decision). This is exactly why: I needed money to exchange for goods and services.

No guys everyone has this wrong the current #money is the problem not the solution, have ideas... Who is in? (Yes it will be good for #opensource)

But yes buy mas.to a #donut apparently (#ruby #react #nodejs) is very ressource hungry (550GB of RAM) costs of 1000 Bucks per month to run this #mastodon #server

yes but are you a #bank that prints it? No? Well too bad

The right answer would have been "i am in and i know how to program #rust or #java or #php"

My hosting costs are 50 bucks per month

Until someone answers the call, yes make a yearly #christmas #todo list with #opensource like #dokuwiki and #donate a bit

here is even the program that is used to create #money at a #bank out of digital air 3sat.de/film/dokumentarfilm/oe… #3sat #oeconomia please backup via jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

_Ingress_ NGINX does not appear to be anything to do with the regular NGINX, a replacement for Apache. If that went then a LOT of people would be in trouble.

Some software/projects are part of the infrastructure of the world.
Some prizes, grants, fairy godmothering by governments and foundations would be helpful.

DNSmasq is a one man band also, runs on virtually every smartphone and router in the world and he isn't paid for it. There are quite a few things like this where a few quid found down the back of the corporate sofa would go along way.

If companies are too greedy then governments should step in and recoup the cost by a levy on IT companies..
