Mega mega mega… and it’s in multiples of 100. Ouch.

But I guess using Microslop is fine for everybody else if ICE isn’t after you 😇 Github, Office 365, Winblows, all safe to use.

The strength of the fediverse is exactly this: don’t like what an instance admin is doing? Move to another instance or create your own.

Go make your own “censor free” instance and stop whining, jfk

More peertube please!

“Write the code I want, free of charge, in your own time. I demand it. Recognition for your efforts? Nah, I won’t even know of you, but if anything ever goes wrong, I will find your repo and complain about how Microslop did it better with hundreds of engineers!”

That’s what you sound like. If you don’t contribute code, money, documentation, detailed bug reports, community guidance, moderating, etc., then IMO, that opinion is worthless.

Devs aren’t your code monkeys, shackled to computers to do your bidding. A lot of thankless, unpaid time went into writing most of opensource code out there. To sit there and demand options is, to me, appallingly ignorant behaviour.

Then make a better alternative. You obviously “haven’t drunk the koolaid”.

I read that. How many users do they have? 47k seems like a lot but how many devs does that really pay for? The answer is obviously “not enough”. Otherwise they wouldn’t be talking about dev pressure.

As usual, most people don’t contribute back in any way (money, nor code, nor documentation).

ChromeOS is Linux as much as Mac is BSD. Nobody except “technically” people mean that. And last I checked, ChromeOS had eve less “market share” than Linux. Linux is as 4% right now and ChromeOS at a single percent. At least do your research before spreading this bilge.

The 83GB figure is the entre nixpkgs network not nixpkgs itself. Before codeberg got that far, it would take a while. It took nixpkgs 20 years to get there. The actual nixpkgs repo is 2.5GB bare and 5GB checked out. Github could still function as a read-only mirror (as in no PRs, but it’s pushed to from codeberg or whatever forge they use).

These aren’t unsolvable problems. It’s also a reason I hope radicle will get contributions to support bigger repos as it truly is a distributed forge.

How does it push the limits of enterprise level support?

And I don’t think they’d need sponsors but volunteers to host the CI machines. Tapping into the community to provide those could possibly get a few. If effort were put into using some content addressed network, distribution of packages could further be spread.

And if radicle finally supported large repositories, it could actually be hosted there and distribution would happen across all nodes willing to host the project. But that’s not possible yet.

A lot of effort is being put into building a ecosystem for a proprietary Microslop platform. It’s a pity.

Now you !nixos ! Get off that Microslop playform. If gentoo can, so can you.

Nobody buys laptops anymore. Only geeks do.

Does nabu support mounting? I never got ipfs mount nor ipns mount to work. I’d like to be able to nabu mount /mount/path and see everything that was downloaded with nabu in it. Is that possible?

I don’t know what you’re raging about, but consider this, do you know the internal workings of every device you own and use? Can you repair your car if it broke down? Can you rewire your house if something goes wrong? Can you fix the plumbing? Do you understand everything about your bike? Do you know the ins and outs of your own body? Do you understand your pets like a trainer would?

You call others lazy, but I guarantee you, there’s something they consider basic that you have absolutely no understanding of despite using it all the time.

It’s a resource hog and quite unstable. A major gripe I have with it is that it makes accessing what you downloaded very difficult because the documentation is terrible. It should be possible to mount all your downloaded stuff into a folder, but I have yet to figure out how. And despite all its resource usage, it is very slow.

The idea is amazing (peer-to-peer, content-addressed storage), but the implementation is extremely lacking.

The internet needs a better way to share stuff than a fixed list of files. It should be easy to simply browse through a shared folder and decide to participate in storing and hosting that file.

Having to split huge archives like this into multiple torrents is such a terrible workaround. It requires those with huge storage to host the torrents. People who just require a subset can’t properly participate.

Such a pity IPFS is so crap. It should be been the solution to this, but alas…

Use GrayJay.
