Month: November 2022

idk how to explain to y’all that server hosting is not cheap. This is the one of the cheapest hosting providers I could find and the bill is this:

The actual space? looks like this, you could PROBABLY fit a desktop PC in there standing up if it wasn’t too big. Two if you put them next to each other.

Three if you were lucky they were small.

At work we had a much larger (but not big) space, each one of these cabinets is 4.2x the space (42u if you’re observant, see the invoice) of the previous picture:

This is 30,000 per month.

That’s the cost to RENT the space, you don’t get computers to put in there, nor  can you connect to most of the internet with that (tho the price includes four connections out to the meet me room in the building, you’re on your own after that.) That is all extra.

I doubt you could run tumblr in this.

I don’t wanna be specific but the monthly bill is a six figure value more than my yearly wage, by whole number multiples, and that’s MULTIPLE sites, and i’d bet its WAY less than what i’d be a site like tumblr needs

Tumblr isn’t an indie company but i don’t think y’all understand how hosting is expensive

It’s Drakadaes the Moosetaur Barbarian! She’s the character I play in my Decent into Avernus campaign and in it she’s searching for her big wife Varakith, a goliath. One day I will draw Varakith, when I feel like I have gotten pretty good at drawing fat folds and whatnot. Yes, Varakith is that kind of big.

Also, Drakadaes is the largest character I’ve played; she’s 8’5" and 2100 lbs. Most of that’s the moose part lol :]

DON’T REPOST, DO REBLOG, DON’T LIKE AND RUN, THIS ISN’T TWITTER!!!

I am never inclined to make fun of tumblr’s cheesy attempts to make money and generally support them even if you consider them cringe. Websites need money to operate and tumblr needs to find a way to make money consistently or it will cease to exist. I do not want tumblr to cease to exist, and the most common alternative method of making money is to collect and sell all of our personal data, which I do not want either. Websites that can support themselves via people willing to spend $25 bucks to commit to a bit is a sign of a brighter and more sustainable version of the internet.

I respect that Tumblr staff have realized we won’t pay for the usual Social Media Stuff but we will absolutely pay for weird unhinged gremlin nonsense like useless blue checks and lots of crabs.

I’m willing to reward them for this.

Me @ people asking why you’re giving tumblr money

 what does this MEAN??? I want users to be the one who gives them the money so the users are the ones who they listen to. What’s fake about that?

i’ll stop reporting on the twitter dumpster fire when it stops delivering absolutely fucking BONKERS news, but:

can we talk about how a fake-but-verified twitter account for pharma giant eli lilly started a domino effect that tanked their fucking stock by billions of dollars

the stock for their competitors novo nordisk and sanofi is tanking too

again, to reiterate: billions of dollars

elon you stupid, silly cunt

omg

not just ‘billions of dollars’

$16 billion specifically

Tweet from verified user Alejandra Caraballo that reads: "A single tweet from a verified impersonation account caused Eli Lilly to lose $16 billion in market cap. Tweets and news cycles can move markets. While I don't think anyone will shed a tear for Eli Lilly, this demonstrates how important social media safety is to companies."ALT

imagine getting fucking nuked like this by ONE TWEET

The fact that twitter can drive that sort of market change is insane but also, twitter can do that because: Eli Lilly has that sort of value to LOSE as they make it off the backs of people who need insulin to live

And fuck them for that, actually
