    I just thought of something else. If the company has pension plans, they'll have to be transferred to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ( #PBGC ), an agency that seeks to protect employees' pension benefits.

    Let's rewrite this: due to managerial incompetence, we are closing down without advance notice. You'll have to sue us for the legally required 60 days of severance pay.

    They seem to have a lot of #Windows server deals in their list this year. https://nu.federati.net/url/288620 [lowendbox com]

    I remember when a Windows #VPS was generally so expensive that you only did it if you absolutely had to fit into a Windows Server + ActiveDirectory + IIS + SQL Server + ... world. At these prices, I suspect they aren't paying the license fees ... the buyer will be forced to pay them on top of whatever they pay for the VPS.

    That's like: this car is $20K. If you also want the engine, that's $20K more. For $10K more, we'll throw in the braking system.

    LEB is in the midst of their Black Friday blowout. The above "deal" on a #Windows #VPS is an example. They are on both #Low_End_Box and #Low_End_Talk ... but besides not having any budget available, I also remember a few years ago when several #LEB hosts (who all used #ColoCrossing's dedicated servers, if I remember correctly) were shut down a few weeks after a similar sales event. I doubt that any of the buyers got refunds for unused hosting time that they'd paid for.

    The thing is, yes, Freemo and QOTO got screwed. But Eugen is never going to correct it*, so he should move on. Since he has some budget for advertising on Twitter, he should promote other "join an instance" sites instead of joinmastodon. Surely, his is not the first Mastodon instance to be unfairly removed from that directory.

    * He's been catering to these people since at least 2017, despite their frequent virulent attacks against him for not going far enough. He's not going to reverse course now.

    Unanswered: will his lenders go after him for fraud if he files BK? By him making #Twitter fail so badly so quickly, I think they should be able to prove it in civil court.

    Also, I wonder whether they made him put up Tesla and / or SpaceX ownership as collateral. If they only relied on Twitter assets, they'll be lucky to get 50% (and I'd guess 20% is more likely, as most of the company's value was as "a going concern").

    Very true. I thought this was widely known, but I keep seeing policymakers who don't seem to know the basics of macroeconomics.

    @clacke I don't know about that particular set, but most of the blocklists going around are poorly researched. If an admin is going to be diligent, those lists' quality is too low.

    For example, they include sites that have never federated, sites whose "offense" is refusing to follow someone's call to block a third site, sites that have been closed for years, and sites where people from the blocklister's own site instigated trouble.

    As an example, one recent list has "top 100" listed as a reason to block some sites.

    Some of the vilest instances in the whole network (nearly equal in vileness to poa.st, nicecrew, beefyboys, and chud whatever) have admins and users that are among the most vocal #blockwars advocates.
