Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2025-03-17-Stop-externalizing-your-costs-on-me.html

"Whether it’s cryptocurrency scammers mining with FOSS compute resources or Google engineers too lazy to design their software properly or Silicon Valley ripping off all the data they can get their hands on at everyone else’s expense… I am sick and tired of having all of these costs externalized directly into my fucking face. Do something productive for society or get the hell away from my servers"

LLM crawlers are aggressively destroying important community infrastructures but sadly there is not an easy fix. Still: Blocking those crawlers should be high on your list of todos

Other than FSF Europe, what other free software nonprofits are there that I can send people to if they don't want to contribute to a US-based entity?

When Trump says that he can apply economic pressure on Putin, he's lying. He has very few levers that haven't already been pushed. Using his own analogy, Trump acts like he has an ace up his sleeve, but he only has a pair of jokers. The only sure way to apply pressure on Putin is to give Ukraine all they need to win on the battlefield.
