    Yesterday, but today is good as well. :-)

    I personally run two. My own at video.firesidefedi.live.

    And started a nonprofit that I’m still working on getting 501© 3 status in the US called BT Free, and currently running a moderated instance TubeFree.org. open for sign ups, but if you want to post video I need to see it first as again, heavily moderated. Eventually I plan on having storage costs for tax deductible donations, but idk when that’ll be. And hopefully in the future can do revenue sharing or have a way to post creators.

    I know Ben Pate, whom I talked with on fireside fedi and is creating emissary and bandwagon, is working on pay systems. As well as other folks.

    Wow I’m just so surprised. I was there when they were bought out and they kept saying over and over again it’s a separate company. And I always said “for now”. What a shocker.

    Management kept telling us based on the acquisition IBM wasn’t allowed to fully consume Red Hat. Again which I said " for now".

    Oh so surprised … Fuck corporations. I sit have friends at Red Hat and it just keeps getting worse there from what I hear. Quantity is more important than quality.

    If you’re a customer the only way to get a resolution now is demand a phone call as they’re no longer able to deny that and work on the case. They’re just a call center and not real support.

    This is the answer. Everyone assumes your user Crontab works just like you. It doesn’t. You have to be explicit as possible, because it’s basically like another person attempting to run your stuff, but not having any of your environment variables.

    So you’re telling it to CD, but calling the script name then tells it to look in it’s path, which it won’t have that. T

    he ./ says ‘run from right where I am right now’ while ‘<scriptname>’ says run an executable where ever it is which then immediately checks $PATH, bit not local.

    So ‘./<script name>’ says run my script and it’s right HERE in the place you’re in right now.
