If you’re willing to use OpenBSD, there’s OpenBSD.amsterdam as far as cloud providers go :^)

In all seriousness, they donate about 15-20% of what they charge you to the OpenBSD Foundation. I also like their service. Though again, they are OpenBSD-exclusive, so I can’t say I recommend the service for your use case (which seems Linux-focused) unless you really want to switch to OpenBSD.

SQLite also has licenses you can pay for as well as support contracts you can get, though not a cloud provider.

Unfortunately, I don’t really know of anything similar in the Linux world or in regards to other databases and cloud providers nowadays. I know DigitalOcean in particular decided to abandon all of their FOSS donations except towards Omarchy for some reason.

That’s really cool! I remember watching the first short film from Pixar in an art class when I was in middle school, but I’m pleasantly surprised to find that this was not it!

Definitely a very interesting tech demo, as it were!

My first thought was something like the RC2014? It uses a z80 (an 8-bit processor that was still in production until very recently iirc) as the processor of choice and I have seen a community for the thing!

They also have a Mastodon presence. That’s actually how I first heard of them!

Read my post. I said “ruin a good thing” which very much is referring to that.

Vibe-coders (actually probably will steal “slop kiddies”) ruin a good thing yet again.

I turn to retrocomputing to get away from it all because I would expect people in that world to generally agree this is horrible and there’s somehow vibe-coding there too. I’m so tired of this.
