 @427aa226 F-Droid for iOS should become a thing. Then again, why should any FOSS developer spend time on making proprietary platforms more usable? 

 @0xtr You don't actually need anything close to NVMe performance for storing blocks. And since you're not rewriting blocks all the time, any cheap SSD or NVMe will suffice. 

 @jb55 EVE Online have built a very successful in-game economy. They even have economists on staff just for that purpose. 

 @schmijos Oh, and it's unstable af, of course:

 @schmijos It's not about capacity, but about intentionally restricting what you can do with the connection. 

 @ac7cd295 @Alice This is actually one reason why #nostr isn't really that decentralized. Without media attachments being decentralized, a ton of content "on Nostr" isn't actually on Nostr, and thus has the same guarantees (or worse) for censorship resistance and data ownership as any old server on the normal Web. 

 @ac7cd295 @Alice There's no such thing as a live stream, or even media attachments, in the nostr protocol itself. When you attach an image or a video to a note, it's handled out of band. Your note will just link to a centralized server for that.

So any form of live stream would be the same. Just use whatever server/service/app to create the stream and link to it from your note. 

 @Karnage @melvincarvalho It actually makes it very easy for them to censor relays and/or create honeypot relays for unsuspecting users also. 

 According to the ID, that would be 4106 different versions of the same comic strip. 

 @7e00ff73 Peering agreements. Lots of them.

 @4d130653 You can cryptographically prove the provenance of every single satoshi of BTC, i.e. when it was created, and how many were created since the genesis block. Since you cannot do the same for every USD, not even in part for most of its forms, you could therefore argue, more convincingly, that the U.S. Dollar does not actually exist. 

 @Alex Gleason @9be68efe NVMe is a hell of a drug. 

 @af7acbe6 But please do defend state-supported oligopoly corporations that control almost everyone's Interent right now. You do realize that in your country your providers actually do censor your Internet, right? 

 @af7acbe6 What criticism? You have not articulated anything at all so far. Just ad hominems and what looks like your own disgust. 

 @af7acbe6 Have you so little awareness about global corporations and especially telcos? Is this supposed to constitute some kind of argument? Please go and be angry at someone else. You don't have to follow my posts if you have no capacity to understand different people's situations at all. 

 @af7acbe6 Also, "the slightest convenience" is not at all describing our current Internet situation. At least inquire about it before making emotional judgements based on your hatred for one man. 

 @af7acbe6 Ah, because Vodafone and Telefonica are so much better. Your personal gripes with any human are not my concern. 

 @af7acbe6 I don't mean local companies re-selling the big 3's uplinks. I mean genuine uplink providers. 

 It's neat that they give you 30 days of trial period, so if you're not satisfied with the performance you can send everything back for a full refund. 

 @2593f187 I remember that place from many years ago! 

 @silverpill Bingo! 👌 

 @lainy I was seriously considering that at some point in the past. 

 @lainy Die Schweiz hat 26 Kantone, die deutlich unabhängiger sind als deutsche Länder, bei einem Zehntel der Einwohnerzahl. Einfach mal Steuern dezentralisieren, und schon ginge der Wettbewerb los. Aber ist ja undenkbar im Land der Führer und Mitläufer. 

 @melvincarvalho https://fiatjaf.com/4c79fd7b.html 

 @8e467213 Also doesn't violate their own home server's rules. I get these from time to time as well. Some people seem to be under the impression that most fedi servers have rules against disagreeing with people in replies.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 @1f15c8ed @f8d9bc1c In the case of the Texas grid, it's not "government seizing control" at all. There are 2 ways miners turn off temporarily:

1. When spot market prices for electricity increase too much, i.e. there's either not enough wind or demand increases dramatically, miners turn off their machines when it's not profitable.
2. The ERS (Emergency Response Service) allows ERCOT to purchase control over generation and load for rapid intervention. Those agreements are signed voluntarily. 

 @1f15c8ed Do you have a link to how the U.S. government seized control over Starlink in the past? I do not remember this having happened at all. IIRC SpaceX has normal contracts and service agreements with them, which seem to have been sufficient so far. "During wartime" would mean that there's an actual war declared by Congress, which hasn't happened since 1942 (in World War 2). 

 @7c9064bc That was my first thought, but the temps were just fine when I checked. The server isn't actually doing anything at the moment, so nothing else in there is generating a ton of heat. 

 @6e65d09c @b4a7426b ActiveStorage is awesome. So is Hotwire. It's exactly the sane defaults that we all came to Rails for at version 1, but updated for 2023. You can still swap out and disable whatever you want, so what's the problem? 

 @melvincarvalho Where's the source code? 

 @b3cf2966 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXWewX0YqVY 

 @af7acbe6 Not sure what you mean. How many fiber providers are there in any given country in Europe? 

 @fa688f27 You would only need a short bit to plane it from the side. Just setting it to the height of what you sawed to remove the rest. 

 @80403983 Gifs should work in general, but this one was turned into a PNG for some reason. 

 @29d38ee6 Definitely not so. 

 @lainy @Julius D Haversack @Basades Kaiser @203536d6 @:pumpkin_jump: Saṁain Goat :pumpkin_jump: @Caleb James DeLisle Full quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1344195-what-an-extraordinary-episode-in-the-economic-progress-of-man

Unfortunately, compulsory government education has all but eradicated our societies' memories of times before nation states and passports, and deeply engrained the status quo as some sort of normal, natural state of human existence, for which there is no alternative, lest we'd be immediately overrun by barbarians.
