One of the nice things about being exactly That Kind Of Open Source Nerd is every time something tries to sell me some tech product they are so desperately trying to convince me I both want and absolutely must have as a matter of utmost importance is I will then spend four hours finding a way to get precisely that but for free

That is to say, I feel like I need to do something with myself to avoid the boring and arduous task of editing email templates.

The problem with the exciting bit winding down is that my brain wants to keep going with it, particularly since I'm running on not much sleep. It's the really involved stuff that I seem capable of absorbing when I'm tired, the monotonous stuff is just hard to focus on

@me That's actually one of the things I'm umming and ahhing about my options on still, because really there aren't any good options. The entire website is entirely safe for work and so is everything that'll be in the shop, but that doesn't necessarily stop a lot of them from pulling the rug on reputation.

@tiddy roosevelt @JenJen In the past for freelance stuff, I've just used GnuCash to generate invoices, submitted them, and had the clients mail cheques. This works okay-ish for corporate clients, but even still I quickly learned that there's a big difference between an invoice and a payment.

I've also used Interac e-Transfers, but those aren't a thing that exist outside of Canada, so probably not helpful.

@me I am currently using CCBill and Elavon for my monthly studio subscriptions (patreon alternative), and WooCommerce for my regular shop and bulk buying of memberships.

I am also about to use Elavon's payment machine for my conventions this weekend and the next, so I'll find out if it works in place of Zettle/etc

I don't have Stripe so no BuyMeACoffee, and I've closed my KoFi because of their ToS. I'm also not using libera pay because of their ToS.

So at the moment I have no "tip jar"

@JenJen @me From what I can tell of a thorough read of Stripe's terms I should be ok, though with woo at least it doesn't matter much if stripe goes. It's all very neat, separate, and with an acceptable lack of nipples though

I opened a ko-fi years ago before all the *waves hands in the general direction of everything else* and it got closed the other day.

Odd blessing though, the site's banging and it's inspiring me seeing all my old photography work
