Hi all, I'm relatively new to this instance but reading through the instance docs I found:

Donations are currently made using snowe’s github sponsors page. If you get another place to donate that is not this it is fake and should be reported to us.

Going to the sponsor page we see the following goal:

@snowe2010's goal is to earn $200 per month

pay for our 📫 SendGrid Account: $20 a month 💻 Vultr VPS for prod and beta sites: Prod is $115-130 a month, beta is $6-10 a month 👩🏼 Paying our admins and devops any amount ◀️ Upgrade tailscale membership: $6-? dollars a month (depends on number of users) Add in better server infrastructure including paid account for Pulsetic and Graphana. Add in better server backups, and be able to expand the team so that it's not so small.

Currently only 30% of the goal to break-even is being met. Please consider setting up a sponsorship, even if it just $1. Decentralized platforms are great but they still have real costs behind the scenes.

Note: I'm not affiliated with the admin team, just sharing something I noticed.

This is a first for me. I've got some personal projects I want to work on, and I really enjoy programming. Normally first thing in the morning I'll spend an hour waking up, drinking coffee, and writing some code.

I'm a professional software developer, and software development is a passion and hobby. But I felt like I needed a bit of a reset so I've made an effort to not write any code at all during the Christmas/New Years holidays (about 3 weeks).

Honestly I don't feel like I've missed out, but I'm definitely looking forward to getting back into it and I think I'll benefit from it. Ill be back at it again next week.

I know 3 weeks isn't a huge amount of time in the grand scheme of things. Have you found yourself taking a complete break from coding? How did you find things when you had to start up again? Felt like it benefitted you or ended up losing the trail a bit?

Going to lose my current, non software development job due to replacement (not by AI, but by other humans), and I have a quite limited number of skills. I especially bad with waking up early, so most "local" (requires 2 hours of travel) factory jobs are out.

I don't have a portfolio of great companies I worked at, nor with games I worked on, nor with websites. I also live far away from job opportunities that are relevant for me.

I'm personally more afraid of my mother, who believes, Hungary has easy to access "DEI grants", so she sent me all places for an "official autism diagnosis" (including an asylum, in the middle of a pandemic), so employers will be lining up for me with all kind of job opportunities, because she read that on a nazi news site. Reality is ableism is so rampant I get called slurs at worst, and otherwise I have to deal with conspiracy theories aimed at me straight out of Forrest Gump. She wants me to apply to all unqualified positions I can, because she read that as a suggestion online.
