Dictionary.com's slang dictionary says[1]: > Chad is a usually disparaging internet slang term used for a popular, confident, sexually active young white male. Its female counterpart is Stacy, who is often portrayed as Chad‘s sexual partner. Use of Chad is associated with the incel community and the website 4chan to refer stereotypical alpha males.

Useful but slightly odd to have a call for donations along with zero ability to see who runs it, how to contact them, etc.

You mean having privacy? I thought HN crowd is all about privacy. Also donation, as in opposite of having a gun to your head to part you with your money.

Yeah no I wasn't talking about privacy. I was talking about "Hey please donate, you cant contact me for any other reason, nor will I tell you if this is run by a developer who wants to help people out or if its a springboard to an unrelated commercial product that you will be funding."

It's not exactly a bizarre concept to want to know who you're donating money to.

I like the idea of the site, but yeah, the entire vibe around it throws me off - 4chan vocabulary (peasant/chad), call for donations in an obscure cryptocurrency, fully anonymous. Maybe I'm doing the site injustice, but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro.

But what about the technical content? Why are you so quick to jump to identities. And donations are the best way to give money - nothing is locked away and you get to choose. This style of site/information should be celebrated.

I don’t think the web peasants will ever learn as much as you would growing up with and building servers at home. I wish you could still do stage 1 installs and things still didn’t work so nicely. That’s how I got my chops; you want a multi monitor setup on Linux better RTFM for X and figure out how to manually configure it and deal with the configuration randomly breaking until you chattr it. Learning I feel was easier when things weren’t as good as they are now. You get less time just troubleshooting in general which I think is really what I do, at the end of the day I describe what I do as “I solve problems”. Random rant for nostalgia over.

This looks like an awesome resource and site. I’d love to become a landchad. But my main concern is setting up (and relying upon) and email server which is flagged as spam or even unreceived by outlook, gmail servers etc. Is this still a valid concern? Are there ways around this to setup a server and get into gmail and Microsoft’s emails good books? I’d love to become non-reliant on gmail. If anyone could provide the…

You can start by having your email server “hide” behind gmail or friends.

I’d be interested to hear a specific expansion on this point (“hide” how? etc). I think the gp raises some valid concerns.

Web peasants will just have/find/create a different set of problems to solve, no?

If learning to read or write was like that, sometimes the book is blank, or in a foreign language or the pencil sometimes makes a mark and sometimes does not.

I agree partly - but mostly it's ok to learn like that when someone else is paying for your time (parents, employer whatever).
