I'm pretty sure we have a problem when one of the most notable voices in the community responds to a "well, you could hire folks to implement things for you" like this:

And folks wonder why I'm on burn out leave at the moment. Like, we really need to have a serious conversation about just how much free and unpaid labour we're all relying on here. If I can't pay my rent, then I can't contribute to open source, it's that fucking simple.

Apologies for the downtime on phpc.social this morning. Restarted services a little too early. We're good to go now (indexing ElasticSearch items in the background for the rest of the day but the site is functional otherwise).

In related news, phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.4.1, hence it looking a bit different from before if you're using the web UI.

Dear @phpc, this year marks the 20th year of PHP Conference Brazil, the main and longest-living #PHP Conference in LATAM.

As part of our celebrations, we'd love if you could record a short 5-10s vídeo message showing your support. Publish it mentioning the event's handles (footer of phpconference.com.br) or me directly and/or send it to me directly so I'm aware of it.

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.

> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?

There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.

> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?

None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.

> But are you / they in the cloud?

No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.

> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

The day I had to shutdown github sponsors was devastating, it was me admitting that my time as an engineer was over.

Being wrong is the best thing in the world ...
