Linux China, which supported the Chinese open source community, has ended

Basically he’s overloaded, can no longer supports the whole site on his own and there it goes the shutdown.

Interesting that this site posts user agent strings and rough geo-ip locations beside all the comments. I wonder how that would change the dynamic of discussion if it were done on other sites?

Strangely, there's lots of comments below the post that seem to be a bot posting negative comments. The real people commenting are all very supportive, though.

The irony here for me is thick, reading the article through a machine translation, but this could be the first instance I've seen of LLMs triggering a forced major life decision. Although I'm a bit late to that party, since this is surely a huge ripple working its way through the world. The best of times, the worst of times.

&gt; Now there is also the 1263 issue, which has never stopped.<p>I may have missed it but not sure what that is?

As not Chinese, I never heard about this website. But here is my tldr based on reading the page through Google translate:<p>linux.cn was a personal initiative, globally a one man shop that became too big. His goal was to advance the community but not do a commercial business.<p>Nowadays Linux and open source are well known and leaving by themselves. Not so many persons are motivated to contribute anymore and so the single activity was creating posts based on chatgpt translation of English articles (personal comment, I don&#x27;t think that the content interest was that great based on that). So in the end, as often, the editor finished in burned out as being jobless at the same time and just decided to stop working on that and going on with his life.<p>To be noted the guy looks great as he preferred not sell his domain name&#x2F;site to crappy buyers for moral reasons and not getting a very good cash payment
