[13:22:03] <janrinok> NCommander! We are struggling but still definitely still here
[13:27:53] <FatPhil> ~gday NCommander!
[13:34:23] <janrinok> On the other channel if you wish to join in!
[13:35:15] <FatPhil> Yeah, we're surviving. We just had to cull 11000 staff from our little spinoff project SoylentMeta, but apart from that things are fine.
[13:37:05] <janrinok> lol
[13:39:33] <fab23> not to forget the half of the staff on the other even smaller spinoff SolyentMurks
[13:43:28] <FatPhil> But the money that came in from the sale of Soylitter will pay the bills for a while.

[15:21:48] <FatPhil> Elmo Murks, a cunning druger if there ever was one.
[16:06:11] <NCommander> Oh, I spun up my own Mastodon instance
[16:06:13] <NCommander> Yeah

[16:13:31] <NCommander> I'm at 300 followers, I had 2k on Twitter
[16:13:36] <NCommander> My Discord server has 1k folks in it
[16:13:40] <NCommander> I'm managing it
[16:13:53] <fab23> so there is still room to grow :)
[16:14:05] <NCommander> fab23, I'm mostly getting ready to have the last hurray for SoylentNews; we're either going to bring this site back from the brink
[16:14:08] <NCommander> or end it on a high note
[16:14:13] * NCommander is writing a novel
[16:14:51] <fab23> oh

[16:27:28] <NCommander> As I continued to move forward in my life well, I began to have the benefit of hindsight. Towards late 2015, and early 2016, I got picked up by Mixer (then called Beam), and created the Faster-Than-Light streaming protocol, redefining the standard of what was possible for video streaming. I then found my way working with whistleblowers, and doing a stint of policy work with ICANN. It's given me the benefit of hindsight, and a lot
[16:27:28] <NCommander> of wisdom that 2014 me did have.</p> I also struggled with constant health issues. In 2019, I made the decision to try and cross the United States by bike (which I documented on my second channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/RestlessYankee/videos">Restless Yankee</a>. I started that tripin March of 2020; no points guessing how that ended :)

[16:53:34] <FatPhil> Sooooo, you worked for ICANN, and then tried to do a land-grab all across the USA on your bike, eh? ;-)

[17:08:48] <FatPhil> oh, my, it would be a shame to change such a special number
[17:08:56] <FatPhil> otherwise I'd join in
[17:09:21] <NCommander> Oh man
[17:09:23] <NCommander> there's a name
[17:09:41] <NCommander> but I'm summing up parts of the interview I did on SN
[17:09:49] <NCommander> on Beta: Like it was this horrid whitespace meme; it turned a very information dense site into a wordpress block...It was like if every page of the print New York Times was double spaced.
[17:10:04] <NCommander> and on how overengineered the site is: "Like, if I was going to make a remake of the original Slashdot, I was going to make it a pinnacle to the gods.
