C’mon pug, there’s a lot more going on here and you know it

The problem is you’d need to split it down to an amount that people would be happy hosting and then host it multiple times in case any node goes offline.

Another comment in the thread says it’s likely over 100PB today (100,000 terabytes). I’d say 4 copies (spread over different time zones) is a relatively minimal level of redundancy (people may host on machines that aren’t powered all the time), and I reckon you’d get a network with the most participants, whilst still getting enough storage, at around the 150gb per node mark.

That comes to nearly 3 million participants needed just to cover today’s archive, new people will obviously need to join every day. Also given I imagine it would need to be open to all, the redundancy level could do with increasing to avoid malicious actors with a lot of resources taking on a lot of the network and forcing it all offline at once in an effort to cause data loss

Nothing here is insurmountable, but also not remotely easy

ActivityPub seems like the wrong tool for this job

You’re more looking for a decentralised distributed file system/object store as the base for this.

And it’s going to require a lot of participants in the network to get to the storage capacity and redundancy necessary for it to function well

No, their protest votes were not meaningless

They actively put trump in the whitehouse.

The American electoral system gives a voter the choice of potentially improving things (Dem) or actively making things worse (Rep). Given FPTP and the heavy use of propaganda, all other options (spoiling, abstaining, third party voting) equate to a republican vote, there is no other reality.

If an American did not vote Democrat in the election that just passed, they voted for complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the gutting of human rights in the USA—they didn’t even try to hide what they were going to do this time. There is zero excuse.

Yes I’m sure the investigation will:

1. be prompt
2. be uncorrupted
3. have any consequence

Good, hopefully they’ve also covered any loopholes where it gets funneled through a local organisation

Edit: oh nice, they’ve put a total limit on contributions that can be received by a party regardless of origin. Very cool. That is how you run a civilised country.

They are not impartial on this one

Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt

That’ll help
