Patroncast - S04E28 - Getting out of the channel's routine

Hey everyone!

In this one, I'll talk about the performance of the channel, pretty bad for July, a few reasons why this might be, and also trying to find ideas to get out of the creative routine I feel I've fallen into, trying to find more interesting, less "already trodden" paths for the channel.

Would love your feedback on all of this!

Have a great week!

Patroncast - S04E27 - The NixOS drama, and codes of conduct

Hi everyone!

In this week's Patroncast. I talk about what I could gather about the recent NixOS "takeover".

Finding accurate / unbiased info on this is virtually impossible right now, so I compiled what I could find, and then expanded on why I think this is happening, and will keep happening to every project that doesn't yet have a Code of Conduct.

Let me know your thoughts!
