This has been my experience too. I migrated a few dozen projects from DO to Hetzner, and my monthly bill went from about $80 to around $162. The only thing that changed was Hetzner's rate hikes.

Now I'm in a weird spot. I could downgrade some servers, but changing them would immediately move me onto the new pricing. So I either pay more for less hardware, or pay a lot, lot more if I ever need to scale back up.

Nodding along with everything you wrote here, but one minor point for anyone who might read the bylaws and get confused. https://www.python.org/psf/bylaws/

> Section 5.15. Limits on Co-affiliation of Board Members. No more than one quarter (1/4) of the members of the Board of Directors may share a common affiliation as defined in Section 5.14.

The PSF allows three board members to share an affiliation, 13 seats * 0.25 ~= 3.25.

BTH, that's one too many, and I helped write/recommend the original language. When I was on the board, three felt like too many, even though everyone was wonderful, and it was Google, not Microsoft, that hit the limit.

The DSF (Django Software Foundation) recently adopted a two-person limit, which I recommend more boards consider.

Django 6.0 beta 1 is now available. It represents the second stage in the 6.0 release cycle and is an opportunity to try out the changes coming in Django 6.0.

UV is great but also builds on existing PEPs. While they have the ability experiment (which is great), they also benefit from those "endless non productive discussions on peps" as you called it.

I think UV proves that dedicated funding can make a huge impact on a project and benefit for the community. They are a doing a damn, good job.

It's mostly copycat behavior. https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-la...

These companies are either setting all-time profit and revenue numbers or just missing last year's all-time records. Wall Street wasn't happy that they just missed their growth targets, but keep in mind that all growth is compounded. So they have never been more profitable, and yet here we are.

Here is some follow-up that's more than just my tweet.

Correct on both points. (I do consider it a potential liability though.)

Hi, I'm a PSF Director and the PSF's Treasure as of this year. For transparency, our tax returns as of 2018 (and soon 2019) are up on https://www.python.org/psf/records/

You are right that this donation does not show up in our tax filings because they provide it to any OSS project.

I had good luck with a low carb (in my case Keto diet). Definitely check with your doc (or another doc) but you might try removing wheat and some dairy and seeing how you feel. I used to get stomach bloat and an upset stomaches but after starting Keto, I have been stomach issue freeing going on 4+ months. I'd start with a food diary and noting how you feel physically and energy wise after every meal since a doctor is going to ask for that anyways. It might help you spot some trends. The MyFirstnessPal app (free version) does a pretty good job of making this easy btw. Good luck!

I'm a fan of http://www.hammerspoon.org/ which allowed me to stop using several macOS window manager-like apps like SizeUp, Divvy, etc.

My config is on github and it's really specific to how I work at work vs at home which includes customizing the grid size based on the size and number of displays I'm using. https://github.com/jefftriplett/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.h...

You might checkout out [Duet](https://www.duetdisplay.com/) which I have used for years (currently on the 12.9 iPad Pro) and really takes the edge off for me. It works perfectly and turn an iPad into a damn good display.
