It's my main source of world news.

Is there even anyplace to go from here? This is the last tolerable site I know of. Back to gaming? Back to real life?

scored.co looks good but I'm always leary of posting places like that because they probably use normie hosting and can be pressured or shutdown by kikes.

I'd talk with him to take it over if @system wanted to stop maintaining it.

I have to look it up again but Andrew Anglin uses some old mean gook that just doesn't give a fuck's provider for his site. I can see price hikes for those who resist the kike.

It's run by reddit types who censored and deleted when I was there. ConPro was the one 'bad' sub they allowed, but no links to the actual sub on scored.

The target market is basically reddit users who want slightly less censorship, or who were banned on reddit.

"that doesn't pass the smell test." Probably smells like "teen spirit".

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 14:40:28 ago (+1/-0)

Deleted my ConPro tab around a year ago due to too many reddit-types there. Plus, admins/mods were censoring and deleting comments.

ZeroHedge is the only site I've gone back to after being banned, but I'm pretty sure I'm shadowbanned on my new account.

[ - ] oyveyo [op] 3 points 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 03:05:04 ago (+3/-0)

I know how you feel. Hopefully @system will crowdsource funds to keep it up... and if he's tired of dealing with it, well he could always pass on the torch to someone else.

[ - ] x0x7 5 points 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 10:01:48 ago (+5/-0)

I'd be open to running it.

Reducing DB cost is something I know about. I could have saved first voat. From what I could tell they weren't even trying to write software in a way that would reduce costs. They started with Azure which was way too expensive. They moved to an alternative eventually that halved the costs. But that's where they stopped. Zero code wen't into making it efficient. I think in the end they were out $50k a year running that (what they said). Imagine being out $50k and not picking up a book or rewriting a few lines.

[ - ] glooper 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 13:01:59 ago (+1/-0)*

Fook me. I'll help.

the kind of traffic this site gets.

I have an old proline server and mysql. I can throw up an instance on one server and hit benchmarks for this site. A fuooking T-1 line is only $200.00 a month now-a-days.

I have no idea why it costs so much to run these sites. (although there is some interesting fine print in the Digital Millennium copy-write act, that may have something to do with it. HINT: you can't actually run a site like this without the gov O.K.'s)

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 14:46:41 ago (+0/-0)

I went over to saidit.net after quickly getting my account wrecked at poal. Costs there were around $90, but seems like @system had brought the annual down to $400 before the recent price increase. Maybe still a bit less than $90 per month though.

[ - ] paul_neri 0 points 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 03:12:54 ago (+3/-3)

No, dude, it will be the end of life as we know it. The younger ones will always find some Chan to cling to.

I'm literally months younger than you, so maybe I'll find a chan too? lol Hardly, but I did spend my first few internet years with the kids on 4chan. Then reddit came along in 2005 and my chan visits grew infrequent. Did catch the skull fucker, Boxxy, and the Palin email hack. Had to laugh when I was banned from reddit and the daily stormer in the same week.

So this is the middle of summer for you? Christmas in the summertime sounds like the oddest thing ever. Is there even a sleigh pulled by reindeer?

[ - ] paul_neri 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 17:38:08 ago (+1/-0)

Yep this is Australia "in heat" so to speak. Any reindeer pulling sleighs would be rescued by animal welfare organisations. Happy New Year, Dude, and avoid crowds ffs. There are bad people in your country!

"Back to real life?". God how depressing!

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 17:44:01 ago (+1/-0)

We have our gardening, although I suspect you never did plant any yellow crooknecks... And the beach, which I hardly ever walk the 8 minutes over to. You can see my roof!

[ - ] paul_neri 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 17:53:38 ago (+1/-0)

Although your suspicion is correct, I did look into planting "yellow crooknecks" but she-who-dictates-garden-policy had yet another new planting direction. She's decreed "no more squash" because, while she likes them, and while we got a reasonable crop this season for the first time ever, she thinks the space could be better used for Silverbeet and Shallots. I just do what I'm told. Nice looking place where you live.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 18:43:12 ago (+1/-0)

Aussies got screwed with that deprecated version of English. Why would they call chard (swiss chard) silverbeet? It's not silver, and it has no edible taproot.

Good choice in the garden though. Whitestems are best, imo. I believe Fordham/Fordhook giant is one of the best producers.

Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard Seeds
Fordham giant from www.botanicalinterests.com
A vigorous grower with a long growing season, it will provide fresh greens from early summer into fall, and year-round in mild climates. Fordhook Giant' is an old favorite with its broad, strong stems and large leaves packed with vitamins and minerals.

https://territorialseed.com/products/swiss-chard-fordhook-giant 60 days. A staple for delicious fresh greens since the 1920s, this mammoth strain reaches a full 2 feet tall, easily one of the largest Swiss chard varieties we’ve grown. Heavily puckered, fleshy leaves emerge with mint green stalks and quickly mature to a pure ivory color. The stalks and leaves are loaded with nutrition and fiber. This selection is a dependable all-season producer.

Acceptable alternative to yellow crooknecks, although no daily flowers to stirfry.

Permaculture...
First you grow grass. Seed with lambs and weaners.
They eat the grass.
You eat the meat.
Replace what you took out of the soil, aka fertilize.
Rinse and repeat

Oh I was explaining human food sourcing.

I guess your mind is judeo-satanist brainwashed into eating plants like a fucking herbivore?

Well judeo-satanists invert reality.

So to niggers like you. Humans raising animals so that humans can live healthy productive lives is evil to you.

I see you jewish cunt. You'll get yours.

I have my own farm and crop nigger.

Wife and I do our own home kill. I've made several comments on voat helping my white brothers. I'm sure that you are not the first anti-white I've upset.

But please tell us whites to eat more sugars so that more of us die of heart disease and alzheimers and diabetes.

No. Bullshit. WE can not allow $1000 to kill this great site.

I don’t know how, but I did see System would only entertain bitcoin as a form of dues.

I have no clue on using bitcoin so that sucks..

I have $100 CAD which is equal to $69 USD to offer today.

Someone figure out a way of crowdfunding anonymously and I’ll buy a subscription.

"I have no clue on using bitcoin so that sucks." Metoo.PayPal it is.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 5 monthsJan 2, 2025 17:49:33 ago (+1/-0)

100 Canadian Dollar equals 69.40 United States Dollar

Didn't they use to be roughly equal?

[ - ] Deplorablepoetry 1 point 5 monthsJan 3, 2025 02:25:47 ago (+1/-0)

CAD at one point in time was worth slightly more than the USD

Aw, shit!

Was thinking last night that it's only a matter of time.

They're gonna shut this down (again), then yell "Gotcha!" on Twitter, collapsing that while persecuting people for previous posts.

I'll be yoinking memes, now, like a nigger at a fried chicken smorgasbord.

I worry about this Matrix rule, in particular this component: "[Spam] which is generally disliked by the majority of users on the site.".

"Content deemed to be spam will be removed, and continuous posting of such content may result in a ban. Spam for the purposes of this site is defined to be content which is suspected to benefit the poster financially, which is generally disliked by the majority of users on the site."

Perhaps Voat on Facebook could be used in some way e.g. to post directions to goat-sites?
