Not sure if any of that is helpful for your case but I recommend trying something if you’ve got spare hardware, and see how it goes on dummy data, then blow it away try something else.

This is good advice, thanks! Pretty much what I'm doing right now. Already tried it with IPFS, and found that it didn't meet my needs. Currently setting up a tahoe-lafs grid to see how it works. Will try out ceph after this.

I wanna live in a place like this. It looks chill. And if it's not, then I wanna be proven wrong first-hand.

yeah, adding twelve to a single-digit number really does make my brain freeze like that. Something something can't do math under pressure.

How is ceph working out for you btw? I'm looking into distributed storage solutions rn. My usecase is to have a single unified filesystem/index, but to store the contents of the files on different machines, possibly with redundancy. In particular, I want to be able to upload some files to the cluster and be able to see them (the directory structure and filenames) even when the underlying machine storing their content goes offline. Is that a valid usecase for ceph?

Yep. Intel atom D525

Is it gonna be "to protect the children", "to stop criminals", or "to save the environment"? Place your bets!

This is good advice, but I really wish we lived in a world where consumers could bond together and get laws passed that make this type of crap illegal so that buying TV's (or any type of appliance for that matter) didn't involve having to do research on weird non-consumer hardware just to have a nice experience.

EDIT: some morons in my replies keep on saying shit about "voting republican" and We Do In OtHeR CoUnTRiEs. I'm not american, I don't live in america, and I cannot remember the last time I set foot in america. Shut the fuck up, nobody asked you.

Because nobody is talking about biological races when they say "race" any more? Race as a social construct exists just as much as gender. If you simply pretend that race doesn't exist, you aren't being anti-racist, you're choosing to close your eyes on the racism that's still happening.

Much like uber and netflix, all of these ai chatbots that are available for free right now will become expensive, slow, and dumb once the investor money runs out and these companies have to figure out a business model. We're in the golden age of LLMs right now, all we can do is enjoy the free service while it lasts and try not to make it too much a part of our workflow, because inevitably it will be cut off. Unless you're one of those people with a self-hosted LLM I guess.

If people suddenly have more money out of nowhere, shop owners will start raising prices to compensate. So the long-term effect is that how much goods people can afford doesn't really change, but the value of their savings keeps on dwindling. Unless there is a fault in my logic or an additional policy meant to prevent this, UBI just sounds like a way to make sure people never retire because their savings are made worthless by inflation.

Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn't expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there's a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE's are the only viable option for this usecase.
