k0vac.sh Been cooking in the pot for years, finally have my own website, enjoy!

First initial steps for my new game, Petrolio Heavy WIP but scavenging, crafting and selling is implemented

@VinciRSS Low-key think old games with extensive mod support beat pretty much most of what new titles offer, downloaded gamma for stalker and easily sunk over 100h in the darn thing, for free btw

Playing old games, and you see lots of terms like "score", "bonus level", "unlockables" and "secrets". You don't see them in video games anymore.

Jesus christ my phone been blowing up all day

The IPs listed on the website have no DNS records, and there is code implying this is a clone of a chain of scam websites called KittyCraft, KittyLauncher and so on

Turkish discord scammers are leaving exposed webhook urls and telegram bot credentials in their scam websites + some janky ass VM detection code @vxunderground enjoy

@Easy__call @celestiaewhore "sensitive young man" you a lil crybaby bitch weh weh

@celestiaewhore I've spent 10 minutes typing in anger because you're faking being a loser, but at this point, does it really matter? You'll never change. This is like arguing with a racist; it's a waste of time

im as much as a loser as any one of you dont let the fact that im a woman distract u

@nxd1979 In the transport industry potentially true, some bus companies have been replacing Serbian drivers with Sri Lankans

leaving serbia i was treated to a final foreign policy lecture by my taxi driver, who explained that there's a conspiracy afoot to replace serbs with sri lankans

@levikov No one worth their nickel will lift a finger for less than 1500 in the balkans. Works both ways where we know the pay overseas. w/ market volatility, people also are padding out for rainy days because we have witnessed how easy it is to wake up without work next day.

Eastern Europe is the most exploitable talent arbitrage on the planet right now and almost nobody in the Western business world is paying attention because they're too busy overpaying for mid work from the Philippines and India… Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland, Ukraine, Croatia. Average salaries $500-1,000/month. But the talent coming out of these countries isn't $500/month talent. It's $5,000-8,000/month talent priced at a tenth of what you'd pay in the US because the local economy hasn't caught up to the skill level yet That gap is the exploit Every other "hire cheap overseas" conversation defaults to Southeast Asia or South Asia. And sure, the prices are low. But anyone who's actually tried to scale operations in those regions knows the pattern. Language barriers. Cultural disconnect. Equipment issues. Endless training loops. You spend more time managing output than you save in cost. The $4/hour rate sounds nice until you're on revision 14 and the work still isn't usable Eastern Europe skips all of that These countries have legitimate university systems. Strong STEM education. English fluency across the entire 18-30 demographic, sometimes better than native speakers in the US (not even joking). They grew up on the same internet, same memes, same cultural references. Zero cultural gap when working with Western businesses. You don't need to explain context. You don't need to translate intent. They just get it And they have real infrastructure. Laptops. Fast wifi. Proper software. Modern tools. You're not onboarding someone who needs you to walk them through basic setup. You're hiring someone who's already operating at a professional level but happens to live in a country where $1,000/month is a great salary The applications go way beyond content. Developers in Bucharest building full-stack apps for $1,500/month that would cost you $8-12k from a US agency. Designers in Belgrade producing brand assets at agency quality for $800/month. Sales closers in Sofia running calls in perfect English for $1,000/month plus commission. Media buyers in Warsaw managing $50k+/month ad accounts for $1,200/month. Copywriters, project managers, data analysts, customer support, operations managers. Every single role in your business can be filled from Eastern Europe at 80-90% cost reduction with zero quality drop The training speed is the real cheat code though. Hand someone in Bucharest a brief on Monday and you get back usable output by Wednesday. Not "needs 6 rounds of feedback" output. Actually usable, deploy-immediately output. The baseline competency is just different when the talent pool is educated, tech-native, and hungry It's common now for operators running lean businesses to have their entire team in Eastern Europe except themselves. 4-8 people. Total payroll $5-8k/month. Output equivalent to a $40-60k/month US team. The business runs 24/7 because the time zone overlap with the US is actually perfect for async work (btw it doesn't hurt that Eastern Europe has the baddest bitches on the planet. If you need on-camera talent for any kind of brand content targeting Western audiences, a girl in Sofia or Bucharest is visually indistinguishable from a girl in LA but costs a fraction. The talent pool for that specific use case is bottomless and nobody's tapped it properly yet) The freelance platforms are the worst place to find these people. The best ones are in local Facebook groups, Telegram channels, and Eastern European Twitter. You DM 50 people, 40 respond within hours because an $800/month retainer is life-changing money and they actually take pride in the work. The talent density is absurd once you know where to look

Agreed, the internet is for the people and the people demand their land

@amemoia this shit is so ass 💔

@_k0vac ovhcloud raised their prices too sadly

FUCK The ram shortage cooking my home boys at hetzner

We literally know this isn’t the case from brain damage patients who retain their reasoning abilities unaffected despite having their language center cooked, and from all the living beings who have cognition despite not having language. But the techbro midwit is undeterred.

Watch as Europeans become 2nd class workers in their own fucking countries because of the influx of cheap labor, great work Ursula von das moron

Туга

These kids probably have better and happier lives than all you shameless disgusting westerners

JS spoiled me when it came to serializing json, writing classes for every object sucks
