Oh no! Anyways…

Don’t understand why crypto is regarded as “shady”. It works great for exactly this purpose. The solution is literally staring you in the face lol

And who’s gonna stop us?

Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

It’s like if you were bilingual, you don’t write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls

And the same is true about Matrix lol

What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers’ indexes anyways?

Correction: it’s not even the indexes it’s the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

It’s worth noting that you can rewrite history after the fact with Git

Make sure you understand volume block size before you start using it. It has a big impact on compression, performance and even disk utilization. In certain configurations you may be surprised to find out as much as 25% of your disk space (in addition to parity) is effectively gone and it is untrivial to change the block size after the fact.

What is UnifiedPush?

Trilium for the same reasons, but the featureset of Trilium is more like Obsidian.

Don’t see how this is much different to today’s way of doing things where pretty much everyone is a freeloader to the centralized server. The major benefit is that it doesn’t have to be just one server anymore.

What if not everyone had to be a seeder?
