Hey folks, so I’ve put it off as long as I could, but, sadly, my main machine is dying, so I need to raise some funds to replace it and some other old ass electronics that are on their last legs.
I tend to buy all refurbished stuff and it’s been a minute since I’ve upgraded my gear (I can’t install the latest anything on my current set up. Yeah, that OLD), so I can get what I need for around 3k.
The easiest way to contribute is to use the long term GoFundMe I have or my Kofi to make one offs. Either one is cool. I know most folks don’t like Paypal for obvious reasons, but if you want to use that, just send me a DM and I’ll give you that info.
In any event, thanks in advance for the help so I can continue development on my projects and working with others to push this independent social media thing forward.
It’s an exciting time in social media right now and I’m itching to do more, so it would be nice to have a computer that works when I need it to LOL!

in reply to Bully of Bullies, Inc • • •Ok, I wanted to drop a quick update because I’m a bit touched right now now.
It’s only been a couple of hours and the new machine fund is at $648/$3000
At this pace I’ll hit my goal in a day or two. I wasn’t expecting that.
I’m not gonna cry on the fedi, but thank you. The work is hard and often lonely, but this makes me feel like it’s appreciated by far more people than I think.
Being able to upgrade my stuff is going to make a massive difference, so I’d hug everyone that has given if I could.
Whew…

A big shout out to everyone that has not only given, but also left some very kind words of encouragement and affirmation. Those small acts of kindness mean a lot to me.
Let’s keep it going. There’s a good chance we can knock this out this week, so I can get some new stuff and keep pushing #fipamo and #thebadspace forward, as well as some other tidbits I can't talk about publicly just yet.
LET'S GET THIS DONE!

in reply to Bully of Bullies, Inc • • •The pace slowed on day two, but some contributions were received from some kind souls, so the Help Ro Get New Gear Before His Stuff Dies Fund (yes, I’m changing the name everyday lol) currently stands at $1096/$3000.
I still feel optimistic about getting this taken care of this week because of all the boosts and contribution this has gotten in the last couple of days, so thanks to everyone who shared this everywhere.
As much as I like to believe I can duct tape stuff together to keep working, it’s just come to a point where I need to get my hands on new equipment to continue doing what I do.
I’m a bit bummed this is happening when I decide to rebuild both of my projects in Rust because I’m on such a good pace, but I’m past due for an upgrade, so here we are.
In any event, the support received so far has been very encouraging, ha, which only makes me want to push harder.
And we’re just a little over a third of the way there, which I have to admit is pretty exciting after a couple of days.
So let’s keep pushing this thing forward and it’ll knocked out in no time.
Thanks, y’all.
ps. When the goal is hit, there will be a memorial service for my old stuff. Ha, it’s been good to me all these years, so I want to give them a proper send off. I’ll post a vid of the affair.
