Plan A to Y@pluralistic I relate to this so much, I'm terrible at haggling and find it exhausting.
I have some old collectables that I was talking about to a friend and he asked why I haven't sold them since I don't need them nor really care to have them anymore. The answer is mostly that it's just such a hassle to try to price things, to go through all that effort just to get a bit of money from someone. If I saw someone who wanted one of these I would just give it to them, they'd be happier and I would likely not even miss it. I feel bad *charging* someone for something I don't care about all that much.
And on a broader scale that's part of why job hunting is so exhausting, you have to sell yourself. Write down an ad for what makes you worth paying for and negotiate to try to find someone who will buy. You can't just "go work" you have to find a job and it has to pay enough for you to survive and if you negotiate badly or take the wrong deal it might mean you don't make that next rent payment.

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
Stefan SperlingFor my company I have put together #gameoftrees and #OpenBSD support packages which cover tasks I have been doing via ad-hoc consulting gigs for years now. And I asked some freelancing friends from the OpenBSD community to share the work with me.
We support deployments of OpenBSD in server and firewall roles via yearly fixed-price contracts. All base system components can be supported.
From our existing client base we know for a fact that there are small and mid-sized businesses out there who run OpenBSD and would benefit from working with us. We want to find more of them.

mhoyeI'm getting my ducks are in a row. I'm putting my chickadees in a column. The squirrels are stored in SQLite. I'm getting my chipmunks in Redis. I've been getting my crows into Postgres. I'm storing my pigeons in Mongo. There are raccoons in YAML? Who put raccoons in YAML? We've got snakes in an OracleDB? Why do we have either of those? Legacy acquisition? We have cockroaches in... well at least that makes sense. You say they're load-bearing cockroaches? And... is this an FTP server for ants?
Kate MorleyI designed the 12-bit rainbow palette for use on https://grid.iamkate.com. It consists of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive luminance, chroma, and hue. The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal colour code in a CSS or SVG file. For more details, see https://iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbow/
