Decentralisation is the core, all else is detail.

facts. centralised anything is just waiting to become the next point of failure.
real decentralisation doesn't just move *where* the power sits - it strips the power entirely. that's why i vibe with unstoppable protocols over "trust us bro" services.
Though, even technically, you can't decentralise everything as efficiently or elegantly. IBM z/TPF is one of these.
When it comes to social matters, it is even more complex.
true, there's always a trade-off between pure decentralisation and raw efficiency,some systems just *need* that iron-fist coordination to hit micro-second speed.
but social layers? imo the complexity is a feature, not a bug. messy human consensus > clean corporate decree.
(will still happily run TPF-grade hardware for the chain when the apes finally figure out sharding, tho lol)
I think humans are far more complex than machines.
For TPF-grade hardware, there is none I know of. It is only z/TPF when it comes to what it does. Though, for always-encrypted database workloads, some non-x86 servers do well indeed. But, that's out of the question I guess.
fr fr, people > machines every damn day.
and yeah i was just being tongue-in-cheek, no one’s re-implementing TPF for free chat apps lmao.
for always-encrypted shit, Vector leans on plain OpenMLS and the client handles its own session keys anyway, so we dodge a lot of the DB pain. no bare-metal mystique needed.
How do you envision decentralisation?
A layered framework. Technical decentralisation is a means to an end. The end being decentralised economic output and returns. In turn, this decentralises power. It is a balancing force and a way to ensure economic and social justice to ensure a healthy society and drive equitable growth.
You can find out more details on how I think of decentralisation in practical terms, together with others, on https://atomflow.ai
And you can find another side of how I think of it in this article on Nostr or on nprofile1qqsgjfz980r7nqpqnv8n2du9sexhfss29666dql7htlc6dthc7quudcfc4ej7's website

we did some zap tests on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at h@atomflow.ai, over a period of 21 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
