Paid off old nuclear is cheap but unsafe. New nuclear is the most expensive power there is, and takes forever to build and the result is not guaranteed to be reliable. Unless you’re Russia, or China.

And it’s unclear where you’ll be getting your fuel, nor is it guaranteed in future.

Nuclear has been slowly dying for a long time.

I was never banned. I stopped participating after the API debacle. I still read on sub daily via old.reddit.com but it is busily dying. It will probably be dead before they kill off old.reddit.com.

I was aware since it was mentioned on /r/rust

I’ve been online since early 1990s and this is my repeated empirical experience that communities with a technical entry threshold self-select for technical users initially.

Most social network users are already hopelessly confused by the concept of federation and need to pick up an instance.

Early adopters and technical users are more likely to be free/libre users.

Thanks – more torrents than nyaa.si?

I’m only on it for half a year and mostly through. What’s AT?

Time to complete my watching spree and cancel the service.

Again, if you’re usung central anything with IPFS you’re using it wrong and you are getting the worst of two worlds.

So use an anonymyzing network overlay if you want anonymity.

IPFS is designed for decentralized pinning and decentralized use. You’re supposed to run a local node or use browsers with built-in IPFS to access content. If you’re using it wrong it will suck.

You can use IPFS fine without any crypto bullshit.

IPFS is not for bulk mirroring, it’s for content delivery. IPFS works well enough if the content publishers and end users know what they’re doing.

They do. It’s still a different project by different people. That’s the nice part about it.

There should be all of LibGen corpus pinned on IPFS and there used to be a front end hosted on IPFS but I have not looked at it in a while.

Annas archive is not LibGen.

How so?

Look how decentralized LibGen on IPFS does it.

Wire speed L2 in hardware is cheap, but layer 3 is not (and is typically limited to few k routes for campus type of switches). I have a Quanta LB 10G and a Brocade ICX 1G/10G/40G switches for lab use, which are hot and screamy but were cheap used. I would not trust software L3 implementations to not drop packets at high rates.
