Wait, you are saying that people with more capital have more power under capitalism?

They run great on arm, too! I got a raspi 4 running everything smooth as butter. The most problematic aspect is interfacing with the usb drives; I eventually had to move them to a powered hub to get the required current.

What does that mean? Like a single domain that randomly routes to different sites or? And where would the database live?

I have it open on another tab, I use it pretty much every day. I've built incredible friendships in there; And when I started I knew nobody on the protocol. A lot of the people I am mutuals with aren't even on the same instance as

It's federated, mate. You don't need to be on the same server as your friends to talk to them.
9.
by tekromancr 4y ago
Yes to all of those. The only issue is some smaller instances with limited admin bandwidth might only federate automatically with larger, well moderated instances to help reduce their own moderation burden. If you want to be well federated

Its the same thing. Rises on the network effect, falls on the network effect.

The value of these no-code solutions is in letting domain experts workout the requirements and prototype workflows to their own problems. If it stops scaling; that's a pretty good sign engineers should start actually building the thing

Can you do SSL?

A wallpaper generator could be a rad application of this, actually. You could feed some random poetry into gpt and the outputs of gpt into the input of this, randomly pick an output, and everytime you login to your computer some surreal, ne

Yea, I was wondering about that; but the risk feels similar to a browser RCE to me. Maybe it's higher because browsers are more widely used/analyzed; but then again, a browser RCE has a much wider range of targets with more opport

What security implications does running curl have that wouldn't be present in a browser?

> I miss my old work when the chat was actually a place for smalltalk, instead of a place for just sharing technical knowledge or updating progress. That sounds more like a company culture issue. It's surprising that there isn'

We do have real life targeted ads. The NYC Link terminals, for example, can detect tons of data about the devices people carry, and the comings and goings of the owners, and sometimes link them to their ad profiles. ads for display can then

> I think human nature will tend towards some kind of hierarchy Only if you ignore every society that that ever existed without a strict economic hierarchy, sure.

by tekromancr 5y ago
That is the epitome of fixed-mindset. We live in a world on near limitless abundance. We already live in a potential post-scarcity world. The only reason there are poor among us IS the greedy rich; but the greedy rich isn't some facele

The alternative is letting a few monied lords gobble up the commons and rent it back out.

Wouldn't using a global CDN for everything be off the table to begin with, in that case?

YES! Why do they do that? It's so weird. I will deploy a whole config into us-west-1 or something; but then I need to create a new cert in us-east-1 JUST to let cloudfront answer an HTTPS call. So frustrating.

I mean, it's inefficient as for the 120 seconds you play with it. I don't think it's worth spending more time trying to perfect something like this.
28.
by tekromancr 5y ago
Sure, one /could/ do that. And most web based games do that but then you have to re-invent a whole bunch of stuff. Scrolling, text layout, accessibility hooks, etc.

Uh, actually, it seems from their later posts that that is precisely their philosophy.

So according to your philosophy; you wouldn't object to being tortured, after all, it's just signals being registered by a biological computer in your head.
