I was trying to get into self hosted services to keep my mind active and stay engaged whilst going through a cancer diagnosis.

Unfortunately it’s spread to my brain and whilst there are some odds we don’t know what will happen. I’m here to say if you self hoat anything self host your own joy, hopefully you’re already doing it! Life is short and we all live on borrowed time.

I hate the wankers that earn multiple times median earnings, most of which I’ve met are self entitled egotists if you scratch the surface. So I’m proud of all of you who contribute and try. It can be be weird, personal, or a huge success but you turned up and gave it a whirl!

It’s disgusting thinking about the profit margins tech companies feel entitled to, even though they’ve supported me most of the career I did get to have and all I say is that nothing replaces painstaking and exacting work and freedom isn’t something to give up without adequate compensation (whatever that means to you).

Power to the grass roots and power to all of you for showing up in any and all capacities just to ask how can I help you out here.

❤️ safe journeys and many surprises I hope for many of your best years continue and grow.
