I’ve also followed PP from the initial grant in Paris but a lot of these problems seem to be self-inflicted. Ones that most stood out were having no insurance, unrealistic open source expectations and giving $100k away rather than furthering the cause.
I’m sure theres minutiae and context i’m missing but that post doesn’t scream competence.
I’m worried any donation would be fluttered away.
The line about being at peace with the project dying seems bizarre. Perhaps time for a little organisational shakeup
i looked into this a little bit - you’ll notice on realoem the catalogue is only 2019. I think this is also around the time BMW made the TIS system update and also knocked off newtis. ETK is the name of the parts catalogue pricing data iirc. I have the db, uses transbase.
I have Google One VPN which comes with the storage, I don't use it. If I were going to use a VPN I'd probably use a different provider even though I have the free access of one.
I think it's because of trust - I'm nervous about the fact it's linked to my Google account. Using a separate provider with a virtual credit card and an Apple email relay would be my choice.
company im working at currently uses Token Vending Machine.
pros: cannot get accounts mixed up.
cons: All sessions are actually 12hr sessions (ASIA not AKIA) and no access to perm keys for cli, security i suppose. Its not too bad though as TVM gives creds for various use cases.
