Wondering if all this fiddling with ZFS and big box of hard drives is worth it, went to compare it to AWS elastic file storage and whelp...

I've downloaded 100TB (more, but 100 is round number) of data so far. To store that in EFS near me, that would cost $0.33/GB/month to store, $0.03/GB to read, and $0.07/GB to write. Downloading the data does a 100% write (obvi) and read (checksumming). So merely to get the data it would cost $10,000, and to park it for ONE MONTH would cost $33k.

That's more than the whole NAS for ONE MONTH. and the NAS has 500TB. Even with 25% storage efficiency from mirroring and backups, we could afford to buy a new NAS every month instead of using AWS. That's a hell of a scam.

Custom protocol support has landed and will be in the next release.

This means when your app is installed, links like this in your browser, on your command line, or anywhere else on your computer will load the app and parse the url.

If you ever wondered what happened to that TextBlade kickstarter project, the answer is "they succeeded in building what they set out to build, and then a patent troll cut them off from being able to ship anything, ran them out of funding runway, and now they have several shipping pallets worth of working hardware stored somewhere in California, a stack of legal bills and no way to ship the finished, working product they've built."

Can people just skip straight to publishing their stuff in some reasonable form where it already feels like Reader Mode (or unclutter.it)? That way there's no need to download all the auxiliary junk that gets stripped out/cleaned up in the first place... (and no need to run the extension)

I'm a bit disappointed that all the discourse in the #gemini hashtag is about Google's newest large language model and not the powerful, minimalist hypertext protocol.

@mauve I just tried #SocialInbox with Sutty, and I'm super impressed by it how smooth its all working. Already fully set up and visible in the fediverse as well. Really cool stuff

Distributed.Press incorporates existing dweb protocols to expand the possibilities of digital publishing.

The Social Inbox is thus an expansion of this effort to decentralize web publishing, allowing people to integrate their website with the Fediverse and to engage with readers there.

@mauve @dripline oh damn actually it renders great in @Feditext! so maybe that was just a @tootapp issue!
