Same. Since the aquisition, I've moved all my home infrastructure off vmware to debian/docker and currently trying to get in front of our next renewal at work. I've been ready to pivot if necessary but no one seems to believe me that we need to be ready for our pending licensing converation..

I was making a blues brothers joke.

I'd love to be able to buy a day's access, or access to an article. If I want to share it, I'm willing to pay a small fee to show it to certain folks.

I've always thought that the ad supported internet is something people will eventually get sick of and the financial foundation would evolve over time to find models that don't rely on infinite spam. Instead efforts are focussed on forcing us to view them. At this point I'm expecting the next version of Chrome to require the Ludovico technique while browsing.

I can’t wait to see these decorate the homes of my “religious” turnip loving family.

Oh, in was just trying to make a joke but of course I’m with you. I’ve never been much of a believer myself but I’ve always tried to live as best I can just in case :)
