Thats not true in that way.
Josh asked for admin access
I asked if josh is a professional admin and what he does for a living. He did
refuse to say what he
does for a living.
which is 100% his right but, for me raised a small red flag
I asked some other people why josh is asking for root access, because it seemed
a odd
request. And was told that theres may be a connection to FFlabs
I don t remember Marvin asking for root, maybe he did and i forgot, i do get a
awfull lot of mail and a lot but less chat.
Also i did not conciously know/remember Marvin is a professional admin.
But given that this would be the 2nd request from a FFlabs member, it certainly
is a little odd after i have already been told theres may be a connection to
FFlabs
And to be clear here, i have no problem with josh or marvin
its the context, the lack of a clear reason why they want admin access and
also the lack of a clear "iam a professional admin thats my day job"

seriously ?
the mplayer developers who in some cases risked their job to protect the server
and the company in Bulgaria gave us a free, and for our purposes powerfull and
new server,
free hosting, unlimited bandwidth IIRC
and some admin in Bulgaria who had physical access if needed.
noone else did make a comparable offer, i wanted a backup server, i wanted
another
box in case something went wrong with this. Something hosted in a different
country
different jurisdiction, different hosting company. For redundancy. For a short
time
i think we had one or 2 other offers but noone wants to provide a "backup"
thats just
sitting there unused until a disaster happens it seems
I do take free things if they are offered instead of rejecteing them and paying
for
something else

I live in Austria, we have corruption here.
with germany, i remember hetzner, just recently had police shutdown tons of
illegal servers
that said, i have no idea how one can even create a statistic for corruption or
why it
would even matter for us.
