Karlkarl@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 6:00 AM@bagder This is the way.
Jun 15, 2026, 6:01 AM@bagder King shit
jannicjannic@hachyderm.ioJun 15, 2026, 6:01 AM@bagder Enjoy the summer!
fragglefraggle@social.coopJun 15, 2026, 6:01 AM@bagder I love the boldness of this strategy. Security stuff always seems so urgent and high pressure, the idea of walking away from it completely is refreshingly different
Klaus Frankagowa338@chaos.socialJun 15, 2026, 6:13 AMI dislike how you're "marketing" this, but overall I can understand what you're trying to say though...

@agowa338 I need to "market" it to make people generally aware ahead of time.
Mathias Hasselmanntaschenorakel@mastodon.greenJun 15, 2026, 6:19 AM@agowa338 I dislike that you call vacation and the need to recover "marketing". It's totally common for big companies to fully shutdown during summer vacation. So what's the issue? What makes you believe that a team of volunteers has stricter obligations than a huge company making millions or even billions? Where comes the boldness from to expression such expectation in the public?

Joe ❌👑not2b@sfba.socialJun 15, 2026, 6:16 AM@bagder in a world where people download scripts blindly from some random URL with curl and pipe them into bash, I think it is safe enough for the maintainer to take a holiday instead of working really hard to make a strong door lock even stronger when everyone has other ways of getting in.

Tristamswiftcoder@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 6:21 AM@bagder This seems like an excellent approach. Enjoy the time off!

"But what if there is an emergency
Then we get to read about it in August. Or you get a support contract and we get to read about it earlier."Ha! Yes!!
Troed Sångbergtroed@swecyb.comJun 15, 2026, 7:25 AM@bagder You should get a medal or something.
Or two.
Maybe three.
Thanks for being a leader in how to do open source.

Worth mentioning: In Sweden, having "industry vacation" in summer is a long tradition. Entire businesses may shut down for a few weeks, with phones/email manned only by a lonely summer intern.Summer is short, and it's the only way for most people to take vacation when it's actually warm and nice; Swedish employment law still guarantees 2(?) weeks of vacation during the summer months I believe.
- Jun 15, 2026, 7:35 AM
@jannem sure, I just don't see how that is relevant here...

@bagder
For people not aware that this kind of summer holiday is perfectly normal and expected; not a stunt of some kind. 
ranlvorranlvor@queerchen.deJun 15, 2026, 7:49 AM@bagder Have a nice vacation. You have earned it.
Jun 15, 2026, 7:53 AM@bagder Have a nice rest! Well deserved, so i say.
Jun 15, 2026, 7:58 AM@bagder you deserve it! Well done, thank you, and enjoy your break.
Jun 15, 2026, 8:19 AMHave a nice vacation Daniel: I'm 100% on board with this approach.
kasperdkasperd@westergaard.socialJun 15, 2026, 8:20 AMEnjoy your vacation. I hope that for some appropriate duration prior to July you only merge bugfixes and no new features in order to minimize the risk of any new vulnerability being introduced just before leaving for vacation.
luna the doggie :neofox_snug: :therian:lunareclipse@snug.moeJun 15, 2026, 8:31 AM@bagder okay! yay!
Alexholsta@mastodon.artJun 15, 2026, 8:35 AM@bagder Nice.
The GotoSocial devs go so far as to put their repo / issue tracker in read-only mode over the breaks.
Not a bad strategy given how I just saw someone at work take a week off when nobody else did, and they came back to a wildly overflowing mailbox.
Jun 15, 2026, 8:56 AM@bagder “The bad guys won’t rest.
Probably not. But we will.” - as you should! Enjoy some well-deserved time off and thanks for all you do for the internet
Christopher Neitzertxenophile@masto.hackers.townJun 15, 2026, 10:07 AM@bagder väl förtjänt semster tiden!

Jun 15, 2026, 10:40 AM@bagder ... I am going to get the maintainer strike I keep saying we may end up getting, am I not?
Damn, I don't know if I like being right or not.

Jobu TupakiRubyTuesdayDONO@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 12:50 PM@bagder
you deserve this, even if you didn't work as hard as you do, and i support you (everyone else!) getting the rest that we all need. thank you for leading by example, so others who will look up to you feel encouraged and empowered to take care of themselves and their families, too.and most importantly, have fun on your vacation!!
🌊🏖️😎
Farhan Ahmedmacronaut@mas.toJun 15, 2026, 12:57 PM@bagder Love this! Good for you!
Jun 15, 2026, 1:00 PM@bagder I wish you great bliss and relaxation!
Jun 15, 2026, 1:10 PM@bagder Fantastic idea. If corporations want anything more from volunteers, they should pay for it.

My grandfather was, after the war, making wooden shoes (sabots) to earn some money. When I was little, he taught me some phrases. Like
"Alle Räder stehen still, wenn mein starker Arm es will!"
😌

Maybe this move will get some more commercial users to pay your worth - Open Source should not be an invitation to freeload on other people's work. Especially not if you can pay for it and earn from it.
Claudiusclaudius@darmstadt.socialJun 15, 2026, 4:51 PM@bagder well deserved ❤️
Thanks for the heads-up!
Richard Levittelevitte@mastodon.nuJun 15, 2026, 4:56 PM@bagder
Excellent initiative!
Gina Häußgefoosel@chaos.socialJun 15, 2026, 5:13 PM@bagder I think I'm going to do the same during my upcoming summer vacation and over the holidays.
Not a horrible amount here so far, especially not compared to you, but managing expectations is always a good idea, and also clarifying the whole situation, even on smaller projects.
Jun 15, 2026, 5:54 PM@bagder brilliant idea. Enjoy your holidays!
- MaineCmainec@fromm.socialJun 15, 2026, 6:20 PM
@bagder enjoy midsummer and the vacation that follows, well deserved
Jun 15, 2026, 8:13 PM@bagder Total stranger offering a “HELL YES” for that.
