Celestial, 10 months ago to selfhosted in How to share services with non-techincal friends and family

RE: CloudFlare TOS, Not anymore. They removed section 2.8 from their TOS, so all content can be served through CloudFlare now, as long as it doesn't use the CDN.

Celestial, 11 months ago to tech in Netflix added nearly 6 million new subscribers amid password sharing crackdown.

Unfortunately that post title is wrong.
Netflix earnings are only lower than forecasted, but still growing.

Celestial, 1 year ago to tech in Fidelity deepens valuation cut for Reddit and Discord

That's crazy. 30b is the valuation of RedHat. And they have like 10x the revenue, very steadily growing, very steadily making money, and holds a position in enterprise that is unlikely to fall soon.

Finance undergrad for me to and that number feels really out of touch to me as well.

Celestial, 1 year ago to linux in Reminder that RedHat makes A LOT of money already. The results of the 2019 fiscal year show that RedHat spends twice as much money on ads and sales people than on developers.

That's already 23% of their revenue, which is decently high for their size.

(Grabbing larger companies cause it's easy data)
Cloudflare: 18%
Google: 15%
Amazon: 11%
Microsoft: 13%
Apple: 7%
Meta: 21%

Sure they could definitely do better, but by no means are they spending "little".

High growth tech companies typically spend 26% of revenue on R&D, but these are primarily small-mid scale companies that are actively expanding.

The fact remains that RedHat is still one of the top linux kernel contributors in the past years.

Assuming RedHat is the same as my company, Sales and Marketing includes Sales Engineer and Client Implementation. And based on their Jobs page, that is the case. https://www.redhat.com/en/jobs/departments.

Celestial, 1 year ago to tech in US might finally force cable-TV firms to advertise their actual prices

Poor Comcast. This ruling means they need to create 251 new labels. That is SOOOOOO much administrative burden for their company of 190k employees.

Celestial, 1 year ago to piracy in image generators like Midjourney or stable diffusion?

Beefy can mean things to different people too. I have a mobile 1660ti and it can generate images in decent times (about 40seconds for a 20iteration image from prompt)

I'm slightly lacking in VRAM though, something 8GB VRAM would allow you to use most models.
