DesdeLinuxSee how domain and all its services (blog, forum, etc.) recently completed its three years of life. All our services are currently hosted on servers GNUTransfer, In the past we have been in other providers (such as Hostgator for example) however, with the traffic and volume of information that we handle today, GNUTransfer servers are where we have only been without suffering drops, lags or connectivity problems .
It has always been our policy, our intention to count on our community for decision-making, we appreciate your feedback and we take it into account. The first example of this that comes to mind is when we have problems with malicious user access from networks TOR, we ask you what to do about it, your opinion, and your comments was that we made the decision about what to do, about what would be best for DesdeLinux.
Donations
Until now we have had to make payments twice to hosting or domain providers, on both occasions some users have felt offended, insulted, annoyed or uncomfortable because we ask for donations from the community (1, 2).
We are deeply grateful to all those who have ever helped us financially so that DesdeLinux has been able to continue online, unfortunately due to geographical fate neither Elav nor I can pay for services from our own project, DesdeLinux (… How pathetic is that huh? ...), that is why when the date has arrived to pay for hosting or servers DesdeLinux We have asked for donations (now it's august), because we need the help of our community, of our readers to pay for the site and other services that are under this domain.
Money is not our reason for being, from the beginning we want to share our knowledge, we want to give back even a little to the global community that has contributed so much to us, but unfortunately in this world money is something necessary for almost everything, and DesdeLinux It is no exception.
Other sources of income
As you have seen, this last month we have added a banner for a site that sells books (electronic and physical), including a post explaining the banner as well as where the link takes us. In fact, readers of DesdeLinux They have a 30% discount if you use a promotional code that we mentioned in the previous post.
Does this mean money? … Yes.
The banner does not hinder (in my opinion) the reading of the site as well as its content, both the information displayed therein and its link are related to Linux, Free Software, technology, which would be what they expect to find in a site like DesdeLinux.
Ediciones ENI has made us a payment for us to promote a book that they have for sale on our site, a book related to Linux, which I personally think is not something negative, in fact quite the opposite.
- DesdeLinux You earn money that you can use later to cover server costs and more.
- You, the readers, get the information about the possibility of acquiring a book related to the subject covered in the site and that I hope, we are all interested in Linux and Free Software.
Is there something negative about this?
My opinion is that no, it is a win win.
Advertising
In view of the fact that in past years some users have been offended? Because of our donation request, this year we want to do something different, a different way of acquiring the income that is needed to pay NemaCheap for the domain and GNUTransfer for our servers.
We plan to include advertising in the sidebar of DesdeLinux.
Since last year we have received 3 donations from users that we honestly thank with the soul, as well as we also enter money for the banner that I just explained to you, unfortunately the amount collected is not enough to pay for what we currently have, hence the need to have more income to be able to reach the necessary sum.
Topic of advertised content?
We have not yet defined an advertising provider, a company that would show it, these are details that are not yet clear to us and we are handling.
What we DO know is that advertising must…. no, it MUST be related to the type of site we are, a Free Software site, Linux, technology. It is not our intention that you read an installation tutorial for a certain service for servers and see an advertisement for buying flowers on the sidebar, what we want is that the advertisement that is incorporated is about hardware, software, etc.
Advertising location?
As I just mentioned, we do not want advertising to hinder the reading of our content, for this it would not be located in a PopUp, floating window or similar, its location would be a small area in the sidebar, perhaps in the footer, not yet we are 100% clear about this detail.
However, I repeat, our intention is that the advertised content DOES NOT hinder in the least the reading of the content that DesdeLinux It has to offer.
What about donations?
This year we are doing it in a different way (it's like the 5th time I've said it, I know... but it's better to make it clear), so we won't be openly asking for donations. However, if someone wishes to contribute financially with DesdeLinux You can do it, contact me by email with your doubts or questions and I will gladly answer them (kzkggaara at desdelinux dot net)
Is this really necessary?
No, incorporating advertising is not entirely necessary, in previous years we have reached the amount of money necessary to pay for services with donations, however ... this year we want to do it in a different way, we want to enter the money necessary to pay our suppliers in another way So some users who think that our donation requests are a… shame? they will not feel alluded to, that is the main reason or motivation this year.
In my country there is a phrase: You can't get right with God and the Devil
It means that there will always be people who do not agree with a certain decision, I know that there will be people who find advertising uncomfortable (I'm the first), who will feel bad to see that DesdeLinux has included advertising to cover their expenses (so do I), we apologize to them, this year we will do it this way, a different way from past years, we will see if it works or not.
What will be done with the advertising money?
This is a question that I have answered throughout the post, however as the topic "money" is always the most delicate, I prefer to speak directly about it.
The money earned from the advertising that we incorporate will be used to cover the costs of DesdeLinux, NOT from its administrators. When I say expenses DesdeLinux I am referring mainly to the two servers that we have leased with GNUTrasfer, a VPS with 3GB of RAM and another with 1GB of RAM.
In case (luckily) more money comes in than we need, it is our intention to buy a gadget or something similar on eBay and raffle it off among the members of the community, through a contest, workshop, random... I don't know, let's hope that the money is actually more than we need to DesdeLinux in order to materialize this idea.
Anyway…
Basically this is what we plan to do this year. I know that as I said before, there will be people who will feel uncomfortable with incorporating advertising to generate income and thus pay for services, as I also hope that there are people who think: «en desdelinux We find interesting, useful information, a little advertising of programs or gadgets will not be the end of the world»
There I leave it, I await your comments, I know there will be several and we, as always, will be happy to assist you 🙂
Contributing to an opinion blog that no longer offers setup tutorials? JA!
Goodbye
Looking at our Index right now I see that there are 9 articles, of these 4 are tips, tutorials or similar.
In our Tutorials category there are more than 800 articles, in Appearance and Personalization more than 500, as well as more than 150 in Networks and Servers.
We are a community blog, that simple. Once a large number of tutorials or manuals have been covered over time, it becomes more difficult to find something new to talk about, however an effort is always made ... which apparently is not appreciated by everyone.
Tell me, what other Spanish-speaking site currently publishes a large number of tutorials or setup manuals with a high frequency?
Well, I'm curious to see in your RSS what is different from mine.
Why don't you just do what I do with the idiots who make these comments and delete them? Seriously, this "diplomatic" thing is annoying me, letting anyone unleash unnecessary pests (not even constructive criticism) about the work that is done ... my patience fucks up.
You don't have to pay attention to these things, great job on desde linux!! great tutorials, information and everything else keep it up!! The work is appreciated, those who do not appreciate it would surely not enter the page. They wouldn't even waste their time commenting.
nexus6… I find it disrespectful.
Precisely because of comments like this, we are considering this year not to make an open campaign requesting donations and to seek the necessary income in another way ... this comment from nexus6 shows me that we were not so wrong. U_U
Thank you very much for your comment Fenriz
I wrote tutorials and mandates, it's that simple
Thank you for your comment 🙂
Regrettable pride and blindness of that comment.
I suppose they are very used and bad, because everything must be free on the Internet, and more, if the effort is foreign.
I trust you won't lose anything important with such a loss.
Yours sincerely.
Indeed, unfortunately, technology in the vast majority of cases is driven by money, DesdeLinux is no exception and needs money for its support to be active, to maintain all our services as they are today.
Thanks for your comment, friend.
the truth is that you're a nexus6 asshole.
if you don't like it, don't go in and that's it
@nexus6 I don't see any entries with your Nick in the posts of DesdeLinux.. mmm… weird.
Why don't you plant your own blog and publish all those tutorials that you want so much, surely you don't because you don't have them, oh but how easy it is to be asking and asking and not helping
And I'm thinking "The nexus that has to be the pro's milk, because of the type of comment he has made," I click on the nickname and what is that? He doesn't even have a blog.
Come on, what pal comment you made ...
Kid, you have to support that kind of comments with your own website, if you don't have that, your opinion is worth nothing.
Mmm it smells like Courage to me ...
Friends, for me the subject is easy. Work (and work) in many web-oriented companies.
I know about online advertising, what works and what doesn't.
I also know the topic users.
I make a summary:
1- they need money yes or yes.
2- the only banners that work are those of adsense, do not try or spend time on something else, they DO NOT WORK, and less in this area ...
3- users who do not like to leave and voila, they will not be missed
4- there are many places to put adsense and many sizes. You are going to have to try and test, now adsense also has ab tests.
anything send me email or by G +
count on me 😉
Thanks for the class 😀
I contact you by email to ask you some questions.
Greetings and thanks again
No more no less. The problem with this is that when you view a blog with AdSense, you automatically associate it with a commercial blog with paid writers, and if so, there will be those who complain about why writers are not paid when other blogs with advertising do. they do.
The donations could be successful if the details of the costs generated by the blog were shown, as well as the deadline to pay them and the amount of money that is being received (Kickstarter type). So only a very hater hater could make a complaint.
Well, it is an option that can be paid to the editors, perhaps taking into account some parameters, such as the number of articles and how interesting they are, and the number of visits it has. Not all but the best.
Well, a solution to this problem would be to put a fixed link above or below the ads explaining the reason for them.
Manuel, whoever associates that doesn't understand anything.
Because with adsense a blog is difficult to keep employees with a SALARY ...
Kickstarter stuff is great, but you could try Patreon. It is a platform like kickstarter but for creators, especially artists, journalists and of course, bloggers. Allow one-time or monthly donations.
Okay, a vlogger that I follow has started using that and it is working for her.
For God's sake no case to trolls, you are ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS why I use free software.
You are the best, congratulations on this GREAT daily work.
Thank you very much for your comment, it is a real pleasure to read comments like yours, it really is.
Hello community, I haven't been here for a long time, I'll get to the point at once Kzkg Gara I have tried several products, so to speak, to earn money online but most of them are false and there are others that do not but they only pay you 5 dollars per month that that is almost useless. I recommend that you try Google Adsence, it is a good tool to generate money, it does not hinder the reader and the best thing is that you can put it wherever you want I used Google Adsence but I suggest you read the policy of that because if you break one of the conditions It will no longer serve you so it happened to me.
Regards!
Oh my gosh… seriously I'm hallucinating.
The first thing is that you are asking permission to do something that as owners of the beach bar you would not even have to consult.
The second thing is that if you earned money for this page it would not be an offense to anyone, and the simple fact that you offer a gift if there is money left makes me think that you have such a good person mentality that you touch the childish.
The third thing, whoever does not like it, who does not return, I already tell you that they will return.
The fourth, who owes thanks to whom? Because the way I see it, at least in my case, you deserve all the thanks in the world for what you have helped and you continue to help the community ..., not so some of this community who love it for what it seems to destroy rather than build.
The fifth thing, how about a little crowdfunding on any page? Whoever wanted would contribute and no one would feel persecuted.
The sixth, the banners do not bother if they are static, it is a piece of advice ..., for example, the one from ENI if it bothers a bit because it is constantly changing ..., a fixed one does the same job and does not distract the view so that everything is more wearable.
In summary ..., it is appreciated that you are not commercial, but I recommend that you maintain dignity with your project, yes, in the end it belongs to everyone, but above all YOURS, and there are times when you have to leave certain CLEAR questions , and this is one of them.
Thanks for everything, and don't worry, karma puts everyone in their place ...
Amen. Just add, what better than a giveaway with what you over do a contest pñde open tutorials. You will get many topics and help, you will learn and you will still give more life to this blog.
Guys, it would be nice to have an idea of costs too. In my case, you can send me an email with more details. I plan to help you soon. Something is something, let me see what can be done
Contact me at kzkggaara [at] desdelinux [dot] net and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have 😉
I support them 😀
I have 6USD left in my PayPal account… XD If at least half of those who saw this post contribute the same amount, we are close to a number, right? As a community we can do it.
KZKG ^ Gaara don't worry, here in Argentina they also say that "ants and assholes are everywhere" 😉
I actually prefer an ad-free site, but you also have to understand that the costs are not trivial. It is also true that advertising as it is is not too annoying.
As users and promoters of Free Software we have to understand that at some point we have to stop suing the community and contribute something. If you don't write tutorials, if you don't give away your time and you just want to consume the least you can do is donate a few pennies so the work of the many who contribute will continue to be sustained. On the other hand, debating and giving an opinion also helps to improve the community ...
If I could, I would contribute to your project, I think it's a great community.
More selfless and humble than other sites like MuyLinux.
They should delete the annoying comments, I think that harms the welfare of the community.
Thanks for your comment.
In the end, everyone has the right to have an opinion ... although their opinion is not exactly worthy of a Nobel, but hey ... censorship is not something that we like, far from it.
You're right. I've personally seen many users like this and I can't stand them, but in the end everyone should have freedom of expression.
Regarding advertising, I do not think it is a bad idea, the problem arises when it is invasive and does not respect the community. But your approach shows respect for people and affection for the project activities.
I have seen that almost everyone who has commented supports the initiative and I encourage you not to be discouraged and to move forward despite the inconvenience.
A hug!
well, going back to the topic, because even if I don't have money, I want to support even allowing advertising to appear on my screen, should I unblock blockers like adblock?
yes, but it would only be for this page.
Nobody likes advertising, but since you have to pay for servers and domains I think it is a lesser evil. And if it's not incisive or annoying, I don't think I killed anyone.
As for donations, if they are necessary, they are made. There is little I can contribute, but when used properly, it does allow you to continue enjoying a site like this.
And if there is something left over, I would see no harm in some compensation to those of you who work hard to move this community forward. Or maybe donate to an NGO
Whatever you decide, all my thanks for the work you do
I think you have really managed to create a community of users, some of whom share their knowledge and many of us receive it to share it later. Thanks to Desdelinux I gave you a solution to many of my doubts regarding gnu/linux issues, as mentioned in the article it is a little uncomfortable to see advertising but it is necessary to have such a good service and above all to feel part of an active community that seeks to share Knowledge then is a price worth paying. Greetings from Peru.
You have to keep your feet on the ground, this world moves with money, nobody is going to host nothing but good people. Even if you were to make a little money for you, I wouldn't mind.
Advertising on the sidebar is the best option, I have always thought that there is a lot of wasted space there.
Good afternoon
Congratulations for this excellent blog, I would like to be able to help if you can send me more information on how I can do it with pleasure since I have benefited in some way from what is published on the site so it is time to give back the help.
Many Thanks
Hello,
Thank you very much, you can contact me at my email (kzkggaara [at] desdelinux [dot] net) and I will clarify your doubts and help with great pleasure.
regards
I don't see advertising as a problem if it doesn't eat my computer (like the flash of the newspapers) or it tries to put crap on me (although in our gnu / linux it is somewhat more complicated 😀).
My darling, I prefer this ad-supported site to cease to exist.
Have you thought about using Bitcoins (decentralized cryptocurrency) to raise funds and thus pay (not directly with BTC) the project's cats?
If I'm not mistaken, there are BTC buying and selling sites where you can change donations to usd and thus be able to make the payment.
This article seems like a my ... LOL, sorry, I couldn't help it.
Na, the only thing I want to tell you is that if there is money left over, it is fine to think about the readers, but it would be wiser to leave it there for a time of lean cows, right?
And that's good for the sense of community, but I don't see why so much trouble to include advertising, do it and that's it, as long as it's not very intrusive, no problem. At this moment, the net content of the site covers just over half of my screen, the space on the right is taken up by the links above, and the rest is practically wasted, I see no reason not to include ads there.
Good evening, my name is Noel, the founder of LiGNUx, another blog with the same characteristics but with a much lower volume of traffic.
To all those who criticize this article and its author, they do so from ignorance, since if you really got involved collaborating with them, you would see what reality is like.
Well, they don't charge a penny, but they invest their time for free so that other users or readers can read their news or analysis (Pd. They also have tutorials).
And if you think about it, they don't charge anything and now they have to pay from their own pocket so that you or I, from the comfort of our home, can read them without any effort than a mere click.
Remember that being on the internet is not something free, the domains have a cost, the server also eh!
What do you want? That they write articles and invest their time and older pay for something community out of pocket?
Without further ado I say goodbye, because I was amused by this situation, since a few days ago one of your editors «Mr. Ajolote »visited us and commented on a similar article on our website.
Without further ado I wish you good luck and see news about how much is missing at the end of the campaign, if we can help out from our Association. Greetings, Noel.
Your blog is also very interesting, I just took a look at it. I add you to my RSS reader;).
Thanks for your words Noel. About Mr. Ajolote no idea who he is, what's more, I don't remember our editor with that nickname. : /
How about hostings like:
https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting
https://www.vultr.com/pricing/
I highly doubt that some of these Hosting can withstand the traffic of DesdeLinux. We have already gone through some that promised Rainbows and in the end they couldn't stand it.
Congratulations on the blog, keep it up. A little advertising does not bother anyone to maintain the page and whoever does not like it, you pass the bill to pay the server costs.
Not bad at all. I don't have a PC, I use Android and I HAVE 13 but it seems perfect that they add advertising to their site. So they'll stop fucking the fucking commenters, they'll be able to pay for the site, and they show they are the most generous Linux community on the web of the 21st century! ^^ And a bit of publicity hasn't killed anyone ... yet. And if it has to do with the subject, EVEN BETTER!
A little computer advertising in the sidebar would not negatively affect the site. When I can I will give my contribution because Desdelinux It's really great 😀 This site has helped me a lot in the GNU/linux world.
Greetings and thanks for this great site.
Thank you
If you have any questions or concerns, contact me by email: kzkggaara at desdelinux dot net
regards
I would like to make a donation, but because of the currency situation in Venezuela and that ... Well, at this moment I can't. If not, believe me I would. For advertising I have no problem, I remove the AdBlock in DL and that's it. For me, they have the green light for that.
I say the same as you. Personally, I do not like advertising but in this case I am willing to make the exception since the blog is a great help in my course in GNU / Linux. I would also donate but with the quilombos that are in our countries with the green gringos I cannot do it.
PS: Do you accept Argentine pesos? or I still have some Patacones if they serve them! =)
Greetings.
I think the conversion is done automatically.
That is, if you donate in Argentine pesos to PayPal, they become USD at the end.
Anyway, leave me an email for any questions: kzkggaara at desdelinux dot net
There are no problems with that! I am also Argentine, and you can do it through paypal, they charge it to your credit card converted to pesos. Do not be afraid, they will not send you to the AFIP to pay 5 or 10 U $ S by paypal!
Good afternoon guys, greetings from Mexico.
In principle, I am not a registered user (if one day it was, I already forgot: S), I checked the site some 2 times a week, I do it to distract myself, I hardly read the tutorials, but articles do, having said the above It can be said that I do not get an economic benefit from what I learned on the site, I hope not to confuse you and having said the above I go straight to the point; I would not bother to see advertising, I only ask you to be small and not disturb the reading, if we have to click to get $ I will do it with pleasure, I am a Linux developer, we have an office that is dedicated to giving advice to companies (only that use Linux, we do not accept those that use windows on their servers), a while ago I wanted to donate some $ to a project (for laziness I still do not do it), and now it may be a good opportunity, so go ahead you have to ask money, not because it is free, it does not mean that it is free, and whoever is negative, it is very easy to no longer enter the site, since if not one participates, it cannot be demanded either!
P.S. Sorry if at some point I confused you, I wanted to answer quickly before eating 😀
Greetings.
Thank you for your comment 🙂
Indeed, Linux! = Always free, hardware costs… it's a reality.
If you have any questions or anything you can contact me by kzkggaara at desdelinux dot net
Greetings and thanks again
For me, you don't even need to ask.
Questions…
1st. how many MBs per month do they consume of traffic…?
2nd. in what monthly proportion does this traffic grow…?
3rd. how much money do they spend monthly…?
4th. I suggest applying some changes to the webserver configuration to save a percentage of traffic, in my personal blog there are several tips in this regard.
regards
Right now I can't give you those statistics because the server manager is my colleague, however believe me when I tell you that the server cannot be more optimized. In fact, neither the monthly MBs nor the traffic is the problem. We pay annually.
I answer the questions by heart, because right now I don't have the exact figures:
1. Much more than 1TB per month
2. mmm well, I'm not entirely clear on this, I would have to review.
3. I don't know monthly, payment is made annually, you can check prices at gnutransfer.com
4. The server uses Nginx with maximum optimization, cache, etc.
regards
From my perspective the community of the site are the articles and moderations.
The hardware base, which involves configuring and maintaining it, is a separate matter.
Non-invasive advertising seems perfect to me to raise funds, even to cover the time you spend on the last thing I mention.
Friends of <Linux, as a member of the community, I want to thank you for sending us your work and knowledge in a selfless way. Any action you take to maintain the site is welcome.
I agree with the user who suggested that if they collect more than necessary, they should keep it for when they have to face some other expense or whatever they think is necessary.
Thank you very much for sharing!.
Greetings from Argentina
Good luck friends, unfortunately life is lived with money. If there is no other welcome, it is advertising. I will support by deactivating the adblock in desdelinux. I also hope with a little more time to collaborate on this great blog that has taught me so much. And later, why not, making the occasional donation.
regards
I owe you a donation of one dollar (S / .2.78 in local currency in Peru), and it's time to put my PayPal account to good use.
Regarding non-intrusive advertising, it is a good option, but with what I have experienced with AdSense, despite being the best in advertising, it is not the best in placing thematic advertising. I also did that on my website and it sucks with thematic advertising (even worse, AdSense still keeps running Flash Player ads).
On the other hand, regarding the costs of the servers, it would be great if DL and GNUTransfer give away one year of free VPS by raffle to the best editors on the site and the best commentators (mods and admins will be on the jury). And by the way, trolls and haters would be disqualified.
And by the way, will the IRC service return to the server? DesdeLinux?
Give it to us, we show you, don't give up! What they are doing is supporting a community of people who love and absorb Linux.
Each notification in the cell of a new post makes me happy because I know that they are there offering VERY layered things !!
Do not get hot in giving extensive explanations !!! the one who is offended to put his own site and keep with his pocket.
You DO NOT fall into the gilada martyr that linux has nothing to do with making money! IF, by personal CHOICE, you prefer to do it that way. I respect you and thank you because of the things that I take with you, I work and earn money. And so there is more than one.
A hug!
Last year, upon seeing the large amount of criticism raised by certain users, I proposed the same thing... I just disabled adblock for desdelinux
Ignorant question: Does Adsense work with clicks on ads? Times inside the page? If more than one is offended because they ask for donations, how about asking for a couple of clicks, or opening a page and leaving it for a couple of minutes? (in case some of my previous questions are affirmative) in this way, the thousands of users who do it, maybe they can generate something profitable for the maintenance of their servers ..
PS: I deactivated adblock for this site, because economically for now I cannot collaborate.
Regards!
The thing with AdSense is that you have to be very careful, because somehow they detect when people are deliberately clicking, and they can suspend your account. So please, be careful with that, because although we appreciate the help you can give us, it is better that everything seems more "natural".
regards
Well speaking of which, they suspended our AdSense account .. FUCK YOU !!! Google o0oo
Lol Why? xD
Not for that there is luck haha, bad weather good face, everything works out 🙂
add one more in favor of your approach and count on my modest help.
Although I can not contribute practically anything if I collect from you a pleasant and pleasant information as well as practice.
I don't know how or where to make the donation, please tell me.
I join the idea that it would be easier to put the amount they need annually for maintenance.
First of all, thank you for wanting to help. For the donation issue you can contact kzkggaara [at] desdelinux [dot] net. All the best
desdelinux It is one of the few sites that I have adblock+ disabled. Advertising does not bother me, although I think that a donation campaign can be more effective, in fact I donate to pages that interest me, for example: jupiterbroadcasting
Greetings,
Well, if there is "excess" some money, distribute it among the admins man! Well deserved you have it
They have my support ... Go ahead with advertising ... Not everything in life is free ...
Good Morning. If you want free accommodation, our company is willing to offer it to you as sponsors. Contact me for more information. Our website is http://www.futurosoft.es
It seems easy but how difficult it is to maintain a quality site like this
Great, a FreeBSD user 😀
I very much agree with your position, I really think that you, the administrators, should earn some money from the blog, there is nothing wrong with it, money is money and you have the right to reinvest it or buy a bottle of tequila to toast ( long live Mexico wow!!), I have also seen advertising for system 76 on omgubuntu or other blogs and I think that desde linux It doesn't ask anything from omgubuntu or verylinux traffic, so go ahead and good luck.
I didn't see the gaget thing ...
I think it would be better, in case there is money left over, that you save it and use it to help in future payments, (the following year for example)
There is nothing wrong with asking for donations. Churches have been doing it for years and no one complains. You don't have to feel bad about it. It is much better to enter a clean page / blog without advertising than one that gives you 18 pop-ups, 10 banners and columns where if you accidentally click on them they send you to a page that God knows what they have. I applaud you to continue, to place ads and how you think about the ads that you will decide to place on this blog. There is nothing worse than going to a tech blog and seeing penis enlargement ads. For my part, I am very sorry not to be able to contribute (the economic situation is not very good, let's say ...), although I would love it if I had the resources. I know that there are many more readers in my position and we know that it is not easy to maintain a site without vain advertising, with your own money, etc. Anyway, I always read them with hardly any comment. I go in almost daily looking for tutorials or just to see what's new. I wish you the best luck in the world and I hope you never have to close the blog / forum, because I really think that it would be quite a significant loss for the community that uses GNU / Linux in Latin America, since since they got together with the UsemosLinux, I really haven't found a more complete blog. Regards.
Donations are necessary, especially in one of the best free software blogs (top 3 for sure). Regards.
Like many other colleagues in this great community, I think the same, maintaining a website is not free, and not because it talks about GNU / Linux should it be the exception, on the contrary, since this is a website where the community is The one that benefits from the content that is offered to us disinterestedly, must be the community itself that gives back in some way, even if it is 20% of what we obtain from this website.
I have personally benefited from the content that in Desde Linux is offered to us, thanks to its good articles and tutorials, today I am a faithful user of GNU/Linux and I recommend it to my acquaintances and to anyone who asks me, I only have to touch Mr. Bill Puertas' system at the university since I am a student of Mechanical Engineer and I require it to use SolidWorks, AutoCAD or Inventor.
It seems like a great idea to integrate advertising and even more so if it is related to our topic of interest, with respect to donations, unless my geographical location limits me since I am from Venezuela and here the issue with foreign currency is a mess, so If not for that, I would be happy to help you so you can continue enjoying the good content we find on day after day.

I read them daily and I had never registered or encouraged to comment on something, but nexus6's impudence has made my brains boil a bit and well, I hope my comment will serve as a reflection for some ungrateful.
KZKG ^ Gaara my respects, do not waste time with people like nexus6, they are people who are not worth it, they do nothing but if they criticize the work and effort of others.
PS: Excuse me for the long comment friends.
Hello,
A pleasure to read your comment 🙂
Nothing, about the comment from nexus6… all opinions must be heard, I just wish they were all objective and constructive.
Greetings and thanks again
I think that you should put one or two porn notes with images or videos, people like that a lot and can raise the portal. Also advertising types of creams and intimate things pay good euros in advertising. Rafa Vazquez, Lic Marketing
Porn, seriously?
Nah I don't think so 😀
Although ... it is attractive to the eye, this site is visited by minors 😉
Rafa, I guess this is a joke.
The truth is that this has nothing to do with the site, I also think it would bring more trolls ... 😀
Boys:
I said it once and I repeat it: I think it is excellent that they ask us, the users and collaborators, what is the best for the blog. This is what any community should have: listen to all voices and become better every day.
It's okay for me to make the decision to include advertising, as long as it's not intrusive or pop-up. At first the "eni" one bothered me a bit - but I think now the gif is slower or I've gotten used to it.
Greetings and thanks for taking us into account and asking us for help. That speaks very well of you, it shows that you take the blog very seriously - it even looks like an association / organization.
As long as advertising isn't resource-heavy (video / flash / gifs) outright support, adsense should do fine. Cheers
good. thanks for the articles.
On the matter of donations, they talk about having problems (like everyone else) but they do not mention the specific way to solve these problems.
Eg: if you have to pay for hosting next month, where do you pay and what is the annual cost?
In summary, I consider that they should be more punctual in this regard, so that the community knows and decides or not to support them
