  • Great build for a gaming PC. For a server it looks odd. Usually when building a server, your main concern is reliability. Everything goes in pairs. Two CPUs, Two PSUs… It gets tedious fast. Often weaker but much more energy efficient parts are prefered, since unused CPU and RAM is considered wasted.

    It would be much more helpful if you have a usecase you’re building it for (since now I really can’t comment too much on the build). If your primary concern is to try to have a home server, I’d say go for it. You can always upgrade/downgrade down the line.




  • I have had the exact same idea, ever since I found out about fediverse. It’s just difficult to find ways to trust of the network. Never managed to think of a way for easy self-moderation. Money does bring an insane perversion to try and game the system.

    I’m guessing the federation part if done correctly with moderation might bring more trust to the network. Since this is an idea about physical commerce, I’m guessing that having a “store” gps location could be useful for partitioning the network node search priority. Highest chance that you would like to buy from your neighbour and not from across the continent first. Otherwise with the amount of items that will be scanned is nightmare-ish.

    Somewhere in the comments there is a mention about dropping crypto as a source of trust. If the store needs trust of a user, it doesn’t sound unreasonable to have your national identity there.

    Other source of trust and identity, could be friends. It’s easy to trust direct friends and friend of friend. Knowing that it most likely will have up to 5 jumps, that could be a way to “check” if you are trusted on the network. That does bring the bootstrapping problem

    Hope my ramblings will be somewhat useful.










  • These stats are more or less what is reported in my country. Can’t fact check everything, since it’s more or less the first time it got some shade. Most pro-russian populus here also support Putin and find Ukrainians as nazis, so this didn’t seem far fetched.

    Seeing different level of protests in Russia (against the war) and in Belarus (against Lukashenko) does show that participation was/is quite little. Even before the war, there were larger protests after Navalny.

    There were a few Russians I can deeply respect and can call good russians, but they are the minority sadly. For example Ruslan Zizin.
