I don't consider myself a particularly big individual but the lack of king beds in airbnbs bothers me endlessly.

i wish it was #meme, its just the #truth

a lot of funding info can be found from https://opensats.org/blog/2024-year-in-review

even "for profit" companies are to some extent subsidies with grants, which is good as at least some things get built but its also killing signal/noise ratio since grants don't really provide market signals as to what makes sense to build and what just exists because people have cashflow to do it

a lot of time and resources is being donate to the cause but sooner or later we need to figure out how to get ppl to pay for stuff and how to monetize things and the longer we supplement this with grants the longer we postpone the real world test of is there a market for this.

then again, freedom tech never pays so maybe we're just frontrunning this and silently admitting it to ourselves?

Well container images are by definition immutable since you know what hash you are running on, if you pair that with remote attestation you get crypographically provable environment which is also the fundamental part of confidential computing

Anything that gets collected will eventually be exposed and/or abused.

Modern cars are not cars, they are data collection machines that accidentially occasionally drive ypu around.

i guess depends on the design.

it is an annoying problem, i've tried now to figure out a simple way but you're right, everything works against you for small amounts

clearly we've seen different armpits in our life.

If you feel like you're falling into a bottomless pit, remember a bottomless pit is the safest kind of pit to fall into.

Yes, we have the building blocks to make internet connection and spare compute cycles a productive asset - that is the hyperbitcoinization play

But even more importantly given current outlook access to compute (currently predominantly gpu) is a major centralizing factor and point of control, so the sooner we make running a small server at home an investment that can recuperate its cost and become a source of revenu the better chance we stand at having some meaningful amount of compute in our territory of freedom

I think its imperative that we figure out how to make decentralized compute profitable

Their nitrokey products do, i doubt they would do a bigger box without it
