Sounds like a cool side project that could make some money.

afaik, it depends on if the org you're donating to is a registered tax-deductible non-profit. I've personally never been able to deduct donations to individual open source maintainers, even if the donation was in the thousands, bu

For some reason, I remember there being revenue or employee number requirements for participation, but I may be misremembering? Perhaps it was discussed on GH [0] but never put in place. I'll admit I wasn't following the conversat

Yes. The majority of my larger customers are billed yearly via bank transfer using Stripe. Some smaller customers too.

I resonate with this. Thanks for sharing. I had similar emotions when I penned my resignation email after I decided to go full-time on my business.

I'm assuming it went good? Sorry if I missed it in the article.

Reminds me of Splinter Cell. I do like it though.

Use Kagi. It doesn't have this problem.

> If a vendor goes under, I can self-host. It's worth mentioning that this is true -- to an extent. Under ELv2, if the vendor goes under, you can self-host, but you will eventually lose access to any features protected by a license

So, yes, the ELv2 did introduce significant friction?

Am I the only one not buying this reasoning? Seems like there's more than is being said, otherwise they would have said this by now. I'd reckon that ELv2 had friction that couldn't be easily overcome without OSS or at the ver

Last time I tried to buy my .com, the seller countered at $500k. No thanks. Not convinced it'll ever be break-even at that ridiculous price. Not sure I'd even pay $85k. The return on that investment just seems... low.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be unkind. I got my first customers through ads and content marketing. I never did cold emails or cold calls. Sounds grueling.

You guys cold call? Just kidding. I'm not YC -- I bootstrapped. But never did cold calls.

Ah, I see. So the clients themselves house the OSS "core" code, implemented in each respective language? Then Wafris the company provides Wafris Hub, which sets rules that those clients enforce? e.g. this is the Ruby "core&qu

Saw this pop up on my Twitter feed. I'm not entirely sure where the "core" code lives -- website says OSS but I can't seem to find the core on GitHub. But perhaps it's just early and the core's not OSS yet, or

Part of my "week of open source" [0], today I released union_of. This gem for Ruby on Rails allows you to create Active Record associations that combine other associations using SQL UNION under the hood. It has full support for jo

Honestly, I would just move to R2 and save on egress fees even without the CDN. Runaway egress bills are no fun. I saved myself thousands $/mo moving to R2.

Per their announcement, it sounds like a free user will have to get an annual Enterprise Free license key to use it. I'd hope that'd be automated, but could also be a "contact us" tier to audit revenue. Time will tell.
