Signal Foundation is indeed non profit… That being said OpenAI used to be non profit as well hahaha. And yes Bluesky is for-profit, just like X, Facebook etc.

its cost more money upfront, since companies need to invest money to build their servers/server racks. You can also still rent space in a data-center, without the need of building your own data center.

But on the long run, it can be much cheaper than constantly renting all the hardware. You can compare it to houses, buying a house costs more money then renting. But overall in the long run, you are normally better off buying a property (assuming you can of course… its just an example).

You don’t need block chain. They just can start to self host, instead of joining aws like every other company.

No sht that we only have 4 large cloud providers, it’s because all there customers are lazy and do not want to self host.

The article says; if they self host it will cost them billions of dollars.

But I don’t believe that at all. In fact, self hosting can be much cheaper on the long run.

This is the reason Bluesky apparently can scale so well, they use their own infra. Hack, I’m now sending this message from my own infra

maybe the easiest solution for these people is just running Linux Mint. And get fully rid of Windows. No grub issues :) And lets face it. this is anyway the best solution long term.

Drivers for what? Maybe that was 2008?

I use Linux 100% for all gaming related stuff. Meaning I also fully got rid of windows.

This is the way. Just use fast ssds to install all your operating systems. Ideally on separate disks.

And have a live usb ready, if you need to restore your grub boot loader.

So install windows on this slow USB stick. And you never want to use Windows anymore.

Thank me later.

I used to have a quad boot. Windows, Linux distro 1, Linux distro 2 and Hackintosh.

Today, just only 1 Linux distro.

Or you just repair the grub loader.

We do it for the fun/hobby. But also for the freedom and own control. And most likely also to make the internet more decentralized and robust. So a movement against big tech.

No its not equivalent to a web directory. I just proposed an alternative.

OK. Will keep it simple: build a search engine around the fediverse (lemmy etc.).

Instead of using Google to find results on reddit…

We could use the fediverse the find answers today as well? If we could index and search across all instances and threads?

Not sure about this RPG domain name.

Also… I just use Unbound DNS server at home :D

I agree Linux Mint is a very friendly and good option for new users. Especially coming from windows.

Then playing games you will of course need wine or Proton in case of windows games.

For native Linux games it’s the best thing. Ideally have a game that supports vulkan for the best performance. Or opengl.

It will work. Under Linux mint for example you can use the firmware installer to install the correct Nvidia driver.

Too bad nvidia drivers are proprietary, so it’s not part the default kernel drivers. That is why I like AMD so much more, it has open sourcer drivers. Fk nvidia 😁
