saw this post last night and tbh thought it a bit weird since initially it was described by author as “alternative to emailing yourself” - like, really? after 20 years of dropbox? the countless competitors it spawned, including OSS as well

installing an editor on the remote sure works - my mention of vim was not an accident, it is my preferred remote editor. some of us are bitextual ;-) - but then you lose the seamless remote+local editing, need to sync your config, potential

thats how b&m food distribution often works: vendors pay for shelf space. that’s how barbers works: they pay for a chair. that’s how many professions works. you pay for access to customers.

actually, many grocery chains in many parts of the world charge vendors for shelf space, and the vendors choose what to place on those shelves.

warc is not a panacea; for example, gemini makes it super annoying to get a transcript of your conversation, so i started saving those as pdf and warc. turns out that unlike most webpages, the pdf version is only a single page of what is vi
