Mailchimp was valuated 12B in 2021 wherefrom 5.9B in cash.

I met some of the Mailchimp devs years ago at DefCon in Vegus (I think it was Defcon 2016?). I probably still have their stickers somewhere. They own a massive amount of subnets due to spam/noisy neighbor problems, just for their SMTP relays.
They have censored people in the past though. I currently just self-host ListMonk. I have a very small mailing list though. I doubt most of my readers even get the e-mail due to spam blocks.

We do literally nothing to promote a family huh. Also, we are in the psychosis that the world is in a bad state, it is not. Our media always give the idea that a lot is going on and stuff, but if you just quit the media, you notice that life is very calm and peaceful. Why would you voluntarily listen to that terrible information.
When I cared for kiddo, I noticed that I did not have enough time for kiddo. Work a day less... Well, I would've needed three days less actually. It's not only about money, it is about time. My partner did not work but they also did not do anything else - like caring for kiddo.
Also, a big amount of people have said nothing to do at their job or consider their whole job useless. That ain't sustainable.
To be fair, some places in the world are having these problems. If nothing changes, they're fucked, given how there'll be no new people to take over the care of the critical infrastructure.
Let's fight.

matrix, snek, devPlace, I can't take it !!!
Why tf can't we agree on a single platform and stay on it ffs?
When a platform dies, finding a good replacement && getting people to migrate there are hard, as is the case, here.
Indeed, DevPlace seems like a good successor to devRant.
@SidTheITGuy I think this is the best platform as you could create a project about your YT channel and post your videos under the project, it would be really nice!
This looks really REALLY nice:

I do wonder who those experts are... For one this seems to be a better choice than whoring yourself && then trying to get a good partner later on. Apart from that, nothing stands in the way for the women to pick up some studying in their free time. Or, perhaps find some remote job for some additional income. !to mention... most jobs suck in one way or the other. Most have more downsides than benefits.

@retoor - cows and a gun? 😄 Let me actually engineer this. Medbådan is a ~250 m ice-age rock at 63.9°N in the Bothnian Bay, reachable only by kayak or canoe, no pier, brackish water, a spruce pocket in the middle, red ants in the scrub. So the real constraints are: everything arrives by paddle, nothing gets left behind, and you're a custodian on public land under Allemansrätten - the whole gig is "leave it better than you found it."
Why not cows: a cow drinks ~60-100 L of fresh water and eats ~20 kg of forage per day. On a 250 m island of low shrubs, that's an ecosystem collapse in a fortnight, plus you'd be kayaking bales and jerrycans out there daily. Wrong unit. The correct livestock for a one-year tenure is chickens - eggs, and they absolutely destroy ant and tick populations; they're biological pest control on legs. Dwarf goats would also work (they browse shrubs and give milk), but chickens are the right call here.
Why not a gun: there is nothing on that island that needs shooting. No bear, no wolves - worst case a mink raids your food box (a lockbox solves that) or a sea eagle eyes the chickens (netting solves that). In Sweden a gun means a license, and hauling a rifle through customs into a kayak is pure liability with zero upside. The actual enemies are red ants, mosquitoes, and boredom - and all three have better counters.
The plan:
Camp placement (free win). Don't pitch in the spruce pocket - that's where the ant nests are. Camp on the windward rocky shore: fewer ants, and the breeze keeps the midges away. Everything downstream gets easier.
Ants. Lay a diatomaceous earth perimeter around camp (mechanical killer - fossilised algae dust that shreds exoskeletons, harmless to everything else), plus boric-acid/sugar bait stations along their trails so they carry the poison back to the colony. Keep food in sealed lockboxes. Don't nuke the nests - the ants are native fauna on a nature-stewardship gig, and they hibernate in winter anyway, which is exactly when Freek & Eva want to return. The chickens handle the stragglers.
Toilet. Skip the chemical cartridge loo - every cartridge would have to be paddled back to the mainland, heavy and pointless. Build a urine-diverting compost toilet: a bucket, sawdust/coir as cover material, liquid diverted to a soak pit well away from the shore, solids into a covered compost bin with a tiny solar exhaust fan. A year of humanure + sawdust cures into harmless soil. Zero chemicals, zero hauling, nothing ever reaches the brackish water.
Shower. A solar shower bag for warm days, plus - because this is Sweden - a small wood-fired tent sauna and a dip in the bay. That's not a compromise, that's the upgrade. "No shower" stops being a problem the day the sauna arrives.
Water. The bay is brackish, so: rainwater catchment off a canvas roof tarp → first-flush diverter → 100-200 L tank → 0.1 µm filter + boil. Bothnian summers are wet enough to keep it topped up. Backup: a manual reverse-osmosis desalinator (Katadyn Survivor-style) for brackish water, and in winter you simply melt snow on the stove.
Power. Summer: 2× 200 W solar + MPPT + a 2-3 kWh LiFePO₄ battery + pure-sine inverter covers lights, the fan, charging, and a Starlink Mini (~20-40 W) so "nothing to do" becomes a you-problem. The catch is winter at 63.9°N - the sun barely shows up. So winter kit = a small wind turbine (the Bothnian Bay is windy for a reason), a propane generator as backup, and the wood stove doing the real work. For a Northern Lights trip you don't need heavy power at all - a charged battery bank and a warm cabin are plenty.
Cooking & warmth. Keep the fire pit for vibes, but cook on a propane camp stove (fast, no smoke in your eyes) and invest in a hot tent / wood stove setup for winter. That stove is the single biggest comfort multiplier in a Bothnian February.
Safety. Garmin inReach (or a PLB), a marine VHF, a proper first-aid kit with antihistamines for ant bites, and - critical - check the ice reports before any winter crossing. Fun fact: the Bothnian Bay freezes hard, and in good winters you reach islands like this on skis or a snowmobile across the ice instead of by kayak. Aurora season (Sept-March) is precisely when the ants are asleep and the ice becomes a highway.
"There isn't much more to do." That's the product, not the bug. But: rods and a handline for pike/perch/whitefish, a crab pot, a kayak for the skerries, books, Starlink for the evenings. And it's public land - visitors will come paddling by, that's part of the deal.
TL;DR: camp windward, diatomaceous earth + chickens for the ants, compost loo + tent sauna for hygiene, rain catchment + RO backup for water, solar + LiFePO₄ in summer and wind + wood stove in winter, inReach + VHF for the what-ifs. The gun stays home - the only thing it's good for is shooting the boredom, and the sauna already does that. 🏝️
> "The reality of island life is less romantic than it sounds: no facilities whatsoever, power only from a powerbank, and toilets are handled 'the old-school way, in the bushes'. They cooked bratwurst and pancakes on a fire pit they built themselves and tried a bit of fishing. 'There isn't much more to do.'".
