Which sadists? The ones that kill you or the ones you pay for? 🤔

The grammar of the question ought to be rejected, because there is no "peaceful" & especially no "evil".

Indeed. But individual muting is way overrated among too many people here.

I have seen so many people arguing on #Nostr like "just mute him, bro" & this does not make sense to me, because you can only mute so much.

For example, if I visit the Global #Nostr feed (I sure as hell don't do that anymore...), I would need to spend an hour just muting the most recent "couple of" Spammers, just to be able to see something worth a damn for a minute.

The worst experience I had, the last time I visited Global & didn't do it again afterward, was when there was some scammer creating tons of npubs, each writing a similar message about needing #Bitcoin for #FOSS development, when in fact it was obviously just a #scam, because each npub was a nobody begging for money for a non-existing product.

So, just because of this single scammer, I would've needed to spend HOURS blocking each npub, if I do it manually & individually, like the average user would do.

Therefore, individual muting is fine for the occasional annoyance. But combating #spam effectively goes way beyond individual muting.

This only works, if everyone abides the same rules.

In reality, the people who write the best stuff, are already hesitant & do not #spam anything.

While the most useless shit posters #spam everything like there's no tomorrow.

So, in reality, using less hashtags just further diminishes the chance for the best people to be seen, because they are so easily drowned by spammers.

This is why, on an open platform based on an open protocol, you cannot avoid #spam enough to just make everyone hesitant enough.

Like, there are even some greedy morons, who #Abuse the AskNostr pound sign to #spam everyone with pictures of nude women, like what the fuck is wrong with them.

I think, the most realistic solution is a strict anti-spam policy & technical abilities to block #spam.

You won't ever delete all #spam ever, but this way it's realistically possible to get rid of 80% #spam without issues.

Who knows? That's like trying to predict the price of bitcoin. I'm just one person who is going to host my media on nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7

Maybe they grow in size and capability. Maybe more people step in with hosting solutions and we have some competition in the space? One thing is for certain: it won't happen if there's not a market for it.

Well, "who knows" does not guarantee it will happen.

I have experience with #Peertube etc. & all these technologies have shown me, is that #decentralisation starts to crumble on huge media files, because even if everyone with a computer shares some space, it will still be smaller, slower & less available than an incredibly huge #Google funded datacenter filled with top notch performance machines.

I don't really see any #decentralised service ever replacing something like #YouTube, in its fullest, without sacrificing a LOT.

"best" size depends on your needs & budget.

For example, if your budget is infinite, a 512GB card would be a good start.

If you are on a budget, you just calculate all the space your servers, including Bitcoin nodes, etc. would need & add like 35-60% size on top.

However, if you really need the entire Bitcoin Blockchain, you need at least a 1TB #microSD.

I just discovered an ingenious little tool, making your #Shell life easier off #Linux.

It is a #CrossPlatform implementation of #GNU #coreutils, i.e. `rm`, `mv`, etc.

This means, you can use basic #Linux commands on #Microsoft #Windows & #AppleInc #MacOS.

You can even use `df -h` on #Windows this way!

I researched this a while ago & all my research suggested to stay away as far as possible from it. It's slow, buggy & just generally obsolete.

This is one proper alternative of many, which should usually be used, instead.

Getting something back for seeding. The idea itself seems pretty good, to be honest. I don't know how well it is executed, but seeing the price chart, I guess it's not that good. 🤷

Welcome to the daily dose of #FuckUSA.

If you deliver services in the #EU, your company could come from Mars & you would still need to abide local laws.

I think, Musk should fuck himself, first, in this situation...
