   If you follow my #selfhosting adventures (@elena) you know how much I LOOOVE Varnish Cache (I set it up for my Ghost site and I've never experienced the Mastodon stampede anymore, since activating it). It's really the best!

     @_elena @elena Varnish Software is a VC funded corporation with ~84.5M SEK annual turnover.

     They can afford to hire a designer and pay them properly like they do everyone else who works for them.

     @KimSJ @_elena Your call, of course, Elena, but keeping it up would be educational for those reading the thread as it’s an important point about open source in general.
