@jauntywunderkind420@cybre.space Yeah, TBH for my self hosting needs I can probably get away with just a TB HDD, like 8 GB RAM and whatever mid tier CPU. I kinda started exploring with this Synology NAS and it's been nice enough that I've been wanting to expand my setup. :o
Though again I'd rather just not need to think about servers in the first place.
@cblgh :O Thanks for the tip. I was initially looking at server racks and Intel NUC style devices. I think I'd still need to figure out a custom internet connection which'd give decent outbound. Mine start puking when I do anything more than a megabit or so.
Also been thinking of setting up my own dedicated hardware for self-hosting instead of using Digital Ocean and I think the labor cost + hardware cost for doing that will be even higher than just using Digital Ocean. 😅
I probably play 3x more for self-hosting my own matrix/mastodon/etc than I would for paying someone else to handle all that.
It'd be nice if we didn't need to host _anything_ in order to use information technology. Maybe just for backups.
@MarkusEicher Mutability is still rough around the edges in IPFS. IPNS with pubsub is the most reliable option right now, but you'll likely want to create your own application-specific thing on top of pubsub or some other side-channels. Pinning services also don't have good support for mutable data so it can be a bit painful.
Might also want to look into Earthstar. https://earthstar-project.org/get-started/how-it-works
Biggest pro of IPFS is that the Filecoin Foundation funds small efforts to get you started. 😁
Are there business models out there that aren't just rent-seeking with extra steps? Is getting paid for labor something businesses still do?
@gwil Time to organize more of your information spatially? :o
Once I can get a decent VR setup I've been wanting to migrate to @stardustxr and start storing notes and tabs in spatial corners of my workspace.
cryptocurrency, tokenomics
Are people that aren't already wealthy actually making money on "tokenomics"? Like, I get the promise of cryptocurrency enabling microtransactions for contributing to either compute or content and people getting paid for that, but is it actually worth it for the average person?
Can a person pay for rent and food from some distributed compute project if they don't already have lots of disposable income?

Anyone know some profane word filter lists that focus exclusively on hate speech?
I don't want to have to filter things like ass and shit just to get rid of racial slurs
@the_feral_housewife@hellsite.site Real shit?

Just for fun I created an account on #reddit and started to reply to /r/AskReddit posts using #chatgpt generated responses. Everyone thinks they are legit - they are being replied to, up voted. It is a bit overly formal and wordy in places and also it isn't using a consistent persona across all the replies, but I think that can be easily fixed with a more complex prompt that encourages terseness and gives it a persona.
I'll make another account and fix that.

Hey, remember when we learned that a right-wing terrorist network extensively planned a violent coup to overthrow the German government and constitution and establish a reactionary, ethnic nationalist, authoritarian monarchy with them as its leaders, and this network included members of the German judiciary, the police, one of its major political parties, the army, and members of the bourgeois (and formerly royal) societal elite? That was earlier this week.

(there are plenty of people in #advertising today who are sympathetic to #adReform, but pitching a post-surveillance ad project to work or clients now is like pitching an HTML5 project when almost all users had Flash installed. Advertisers are always a couple steps behind early adopter users, and ad-supported sites are at best one step behind advertisers #endSurveillanceCapitalism is going to be tech early adopters first, followed at some point by innovative advertisers+sites, then more users)

Fellow library workers -- please pass around word about @libraryland.social - a Mastodon instance set up for public librarians, academic librarians, school librarians, archivists and other library workers to share ideas, inspirations, questions, announcements and the like. If you're looking for a new home to move to after landing at mastodon.social -- that might be your new home.
@capyloon Yeah! One thing I hope we have time to make is a js-fiddle type interface so you can make tiny web apps and share them along with an edit button. Also we could edit the fiddle from within itself to make it easier for others to iterate 🤯

@cblgh Ty! I'm very excited for it. Hopefully it'll make it easier to onboard people into this space and make p2p web development generally more accessible. 💜
