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.
