🆕 blog! “The cost of running OpenBenches.org”
After my recent presentation at FOSDEM, someone asked a pretty reasonable question. What does it cost to run OpenBenches?
It is, thankfully, surprisingly cheap! In part, that's because it is a relatively simple tech stack - PHP, MySQL, a couple of API calls to external services. It was designed to be as low cost while …

Looks like government censorship isn't going to be limited to social media. They are now going after crypto ATMs.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/canada-crypto-atm-ban-scammers-9.7180642
Could they go after the gift cards that also fuels crime? Nah. Could they compel carriers to block known overseas scam call centres? Nah. Let's just blame one technology and pretend that this solves everything!

What is the digital euro? A guide to the future of cash in Europe.
The European Central Bank (ECB) is working towards the launch of the digital euro – an electronic version of public money – with the aim of providing a safe, secure public option for making digital payments.
The EU aims to launch the currency by 2029, but digital literacy and security are possible barriers.

Weekend Side Note
If a hypothetical investment fund of significant size, say $180B, were to badly underperform for 2025, the results have serious implications.
In Canada, the TSX performed an astoundingly rare return of 28.5%. A well- managed fund performing at the rate of the market should expect a return of $50B resulting in a fund sized around $230B at year end.
If a hypothetical, poorly managed investment fund gained, say, a paltry 7.5% on such a generously giving market year, they should get a return of around $14B and final fund total of $194B at year end.
Counted in billions, 14 can appear a big number unless weighed against its absence of return. The poorly managed fund has actually incurred a short-term “loss of gains” in a rarely generous year of around $35B.
In the long term, over say the next ten years, that loss of $35B increases, at a yearly return of the initial paltry 7.5% (normally good for an underperforming year), to roughly double or $70B.
Fortunately, if the hypothetical fund continues under its current mismanagement, the ten-year 7.5% return is unlikely, thereby reducing the “missed out on” $70B to around $40B as best, or in this case worst, result from an extreme hypothesis of missing funds during one calendar year. Such “loss of gains” exaggerated annually accumulate to massive losses of squandered opportunity over decades.
In the real world, it is merely $14B thanks to the generous “hard to lose” market year, and the loss of opportunity goes unchecked while the pennies get counted.

The Times’s examination also offers a window into how #Musk used private #companies to support #Trump during the 2024 #election. Tapping these companies to cover the expenses of a #superPAC is “highly unusual”, #CampaignFinance experts said, & ended up obscuring how #money was being spent because they are not subject to the disclosure requirements of super PACs.

I am a climber, runner (with a Collie), cyclist and swimmer. I was running a small (but perfectly formed) analytics company now employee owned to mark my retirement. Commute between the Highlands and The Borders, campaign for Scottish independence, bake bread and occasionally dabble in bad art. I winge about a lot - the environment, bad governance and stupidity but do try to provide a wee bit of evidence and highlight good news. Languages : English, German, Gaelic, Pashtu, Spanish, Italian

So, a company too small to have to file accounts in the UK manages to find £200k to donate to Reform?
More evidence that the funding of political parties (or limited companies that pretend to be so) needs drastic reform. Foreign interference, be that through social media or money bedevils British politics. The dominant parties in parliament are too reliant on funny money to be prepared to do anything about it.
