It's Diamine Cool Green and Golden Brown. I thought they aren't fir everyday use, but now I think it's not a bad idea...

I thought about Svelte + Tauri. Desktop but with Web flexibility. It also allows adding other fediverse as plugins.

Yeah, I'm a big fun of DIY ergo splits. I made myself a couple, but this is prebuilt wireless redox.

It's Waterman. I have only these one, but I wanna buy more.

Yeah. My first is Parker Jotter and it's ok. But when I started writing with Pilot... It was like a heaven. TBH, I'm afraid that my second pen is the end game already. But I still want to spend a lot of money in a pen shop. Maybe there is some "even better" pen...

I read it and post from jebroa. At least latest alpha can do it.

Ok, you are right about peering, I tried to get more peers to be faster, but it isn't necessary. I didn't find anything about ActivityPub broadcasting, but if it's true... so, yeah, having rpc p2p connection doesn't make the whole system less federated. But still, usually crypto clients has lists of nodes (or api balancers) for faster handling.

Huh, so the problem is about just serving static assets? TBH, I think this problem should be mostly solved, especially for such minimalistic UI. Maybe some (free) CDN? Also UI can use any lemmy server for most of requests (e.g. fetched federated_servers fom a bootstrap node) and use "logged one" only for user actions. I think it isn't a terrible difficult task for the current ui (it has it's own backend).

I know what you mean, but all nodes are equal, they are fully participating (stay aside validators). I mean every every node handles every transaction and can be faster than another (it doesn't matter due to validation scheme, but technically speaking all nodes handling every user action)

Because we are here because of content, made by users. I'm thinking about whole "lemmy-verse". If users encounter issues, they just stop using the service. You as an instance owner can choose to not participate. But if somebody already thinks rhat they helps, why not use it?

I think a amall hit of p2p can be useful. Maybe as an addition layer. I worked a lot with tendermint nodes (cryptocurrency) and i saw pretty effective solutions.

Yeah, and this post about how to use some (a lot of) servers that are doing nothing to participate in "pros" while the top 20 of servers are suffering from these cons.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I'm a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache and the ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network until you have a significant piece of auditory (e.g. private instances or servers with no users). Are there any "balancers" to utilize these empty instances? Should we promote (or create in the first place) a way how to passively help lemmy with such fast growth?
