I was thinking of this myself, but I think there are a couple challanges.

To gain widespread adoption, you need trust. This is complicated when you have a large amount of vendors. How are people going to access it? Will they go through different sites? How are you going to handle payments? And what if you buy multiple products from different vendors at once? How do you deal with a vendor misbehaving? Do you deferate with them, what if others don’t? What if a vendor spams or uses fall advertising?

I don’t think a federated webshop with the current fediverse model works, but I think it’s still possible with more organization.

There could be non-profit’s or coop’s that manages the single customer facing website, moderates the site, and other matters that need to be handled centrally. Similar to how there are people organizing real life markets that bring the stalls, advertise the event locally, etc.

The software behind the web store would be an open source project which receives funding through the aforementioned organizations.

Yes, unfortunately

Over 70TB?

Don’t be silly, just rotate it

AFAIK it stores the notes as .md and an index in it’s own proprietary format, which is mostly an issue because the index won’t be encrypted if you encrypt the notes.

Doesn’t logseq store the notes as .md files? There is a directory named pages which contained them last time I checked

I saw you picked SurrealDB, what has been your experience with that so far?

Does anyone have a link to the .txt file? I can’t grep the PDF.

This reminds me of an old family story. My grandpa used to have an uncle who had flamingo’s. Imagine walking through a Dutch village somewhere in the 60’s and seeing a bunch of flamingo’s standing in some muddy ditch. I have have no clue how he they ended up there, but it apparently wasn’t the first time he ended up with some tropical animal. My grandpa had to take care of them for a while, but didn’t really know what to feed them. He also had some parrots and would buy food for them from the miller. Considering these were also birds, just larger, he went to the miller and asked for food for flamingo’s. The miller did not know what flamingo’s were. He therefore explained that they were large pink birds. The miller was not convinced, thinking he was pulling his leg and sent him away with a few bags of chicken feed.

Considering your budget of 200 GBP / 250USD, I would recommend laptops meant for school. There are plenty of refurbished laptops out there with a decent battery condition and overall state for sale around €100. Most of these machines aren’t more powerful than most entry level Chromebooks and often have a Pentium or Celeron CPU, but that’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make. Another advantage is that they usually come with a touch screen and decent display, which is nice if you’re out and about.

sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

Last time I checked most were starting at 700+

And obviously their option is the “best”. From the conclusion:

Talos Linux is unique. It’s the only option that includes OS management in a purpose-built distribution for running Kubernetes. There’s no compromise for scaling up or down. In terms of small-scale numbers, it “wins” in several of the examined categories, including memory usage, disk r/w, and installation size. But all of these metrics are side effects of Talos Linux’s defining characteristic: It’s simple.

At some point they l announce that paying for a Reddit premium account allows you to be unbanned and free to do whatever you want.

What other reasons or ideas can you think of, that mass banning users, (some with years of age and contributions, some of them mods.) could be the first step in a plan to capitalize.

To me it seems like it’s a consequence of both cost cutting moderators and lowering the threshold for bans to make the plaform more appealing to large companies advertising.

I don’t really prefer it. I just buy gaming mice because they have more buttons and disable the RGB.

Windows with the most popular chrome version to avoid standing out

Yes, that and bbswitch. Never got it working.

Not technically hardware itself but Nvidia + Intel hybrid graphics have never really worked for me

Yeah, took me some time to figure out too

Yeah, and it’s useful to just check everything so you don’t forget to add some essential system package for e.g. SSL, especially when working with Alpine.

Why not? Why doesn’t the programmer want to test a container?
