Protip:
To make your day more dramatic, post a random news story with the title, “It begins.“
i am so not excited by the fact I will be in a car for the next 9 hours (i will be back in the US today)
I'm stuck in a bit of a tough situation.
The cloud hosting provider I use, Vultr, has made a change to their terms of service stating that:
You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content
[…]
I find this particularly frightening judging by the fact that I'll soon be releasing SparkShell sometime this year. I don't want Vultr to hold rights to your content, so I don't know if I want to continue using them.
I personally cannot see this going down well in court so I'm going to cross my fingers that this is reverted, but I'm looking for your opinion - would you have any problem with this or should I look into moving away from Vultr?

Something happened IRL and I wanted to take a break from the Internet to clam myself down but honestly this is something I have to share with you guys.
Ratio is no longer with us and that ratio committed suicide. Ratio was someone that made me feel like I am worth being in this world and she helped me follow my dreams and to even help accomplish them. Even when ratio was not in her best mood she was still there for me and others and the impact she had will not be forgotten. The legacy she had on this site is something many will not forget and we will all know that her legacy will still live on even after her passing. We will all remember the impact ratio has made to this site knowing that her and many others helped change this site to what it is today. Many will know her as ratio but I will remember her as my big sister that was there for me and was the most caring person a person can ask for. May she rest in peace knowing she is in a better place now. I will miss her a lot but will always love her from my heart.
