> I maintain Express.js and Lodash

Thank you!

> In 2025 I made $10 from open source

Slightly off-topic, but I wish more OSS projects and maintainers would advertise cryptocurrency donation addresses. It's probably the easiest way for end users to donate.


I have done that for years, and so far have received the equivalent of $25 (through three mBTC transactions) on my Bitcoin address, and maybe $90 through whatever the token is Brave uses (BAT?).

I still get random donations through an old PayPal email address that's listed on the same page as my bitcoin address, and that totals more like $100 (a year, not over the lifetime).


Surely the easiest way is something like a PayPal/venmo link, no? I know a lot more people who use those than crypto.


Paypal banned my account the instant someone did donate to me. I suggest stripe.


What’s wrong with ko-fi?

Hey, thank you kind strangers who sent me some money. I appreciate it! <3


Why would cryptocurrency be the easiest way to donate when nobody is using it?


I see "nobody" triggered some people.

I meant an insignificant minority who's also known to be very greedy


Is this the same collision theorized to have created the moon?


That's what is suggested here but according to the Giant Impact Hypothesis the impact happened about 4.5 billion years ago and formed the Moon from debris, and it likely vaporized much of any existing water on proto-Earth rather than delivering it... More investigations needed ...


Yes


I run independent websites and I'm not broke yet.


The pg_ivm plugin adds incremental updates to Postgresql materialized views:

Though I don't know how well it works on a write-heavy production db.


Pretty neat.

How would the multiplier DCA act during a multi-month "crypto winter"?


It would try to snipe the bottom, slowly scaling into bigger order sizes

BTCPay Server[0] seems to be the most popular way to accept crypto payments on self-hosted hardware with no third party processors.

Is this essentially the same data CZDS [0] offers + ccTLDs zonefiles?

I'm honestly ignorant - what political statement is it making?

It seems that liberals dislike Teslas because they dislike Elon Musk.

And conservatives dislike Teslas because they dislike new and different things.
