A huge mistake the fediverse makes is large instances. It's resource intensive, expensive, and creates wildly large failures instead of little ones.

This is why I'm sad to lose the bots, but also glad botsin.space is going away. BIS was always weird, a place to place bots which cost a lot, but wasn't a community. Bots should live alongside their makers or users (or just have a way of posting without needing a full server).

@jima @alyx I had a wonderful situation where I had users in one country able to get jumbo frames to AWS, and the across the border, no jumbo frames to AWS. This lead to a giant argument about how to speed up traffic, because we needed different solutions in different countries.

And despite that, I was getting jumbo frames from Columbia to US-East-2 and it was wild!

wait, not supposed to say that publicly

Sat down with a large client's IT since email was getting wild. So we talked. We both explained the other side's mail border to each other. Having established we were both real techs. We talked shop and solved the issue with mutual respect.

It was a notable dance I've not done in a while, and a fascinating one.

The fact that AI people say "AI is here to stay" before any other point tells me a lot

@djsundog Ooh that ain't bad. I've been looking at compact flash a bunch, putting one in a iPod right now, and buying a lot of old 64MB ones to put one audio book per card and then let the kids have an audiobook cartridge device.

I'd love this thing on CF cards!

@djsundog IDE fuuuuuuuuck I can't put a proper ssd in there.
