    1. How much of the math is memorized versus just knowing where to look for answers?
    2. Hypothetical: you have no access to paid tools for things like FEM and CFD, how do you accomplish your hobby project?

You may add precursors, but may not interact further until the cycle is complete. There is no other temporal constraint.

  • Most people's routers are already up 24/7.

    We should be able to do our own DNS. Who cares if it is on the wider clearweb. You are paying for an IP address with your internet connection. If you are running a server with verified hardware and signed code, all we need is a half dozen nodes mirroring our own DNS. There must be a backup proxy for the few terrible providers that cause issues with IP. The addresses are not static, but they do not change very often. At worse, you hit a manual button to reset or wait 10 minutes before the DNS updates.

  • Your slice of life is funny. At least you don't get: ...(news: "terrible shit is happening") ...the bible says...the sky is falling...the end times...Armageddon... Come back to (sadistic masochism where everyone goes through the motions and no one is intelligent or real or cares about anyone as evidenced by their actions) kingdom hall. (be like the rest of us that never paid any attention to the conspiracy level nonsensical explanation of the reason why Jehovah's Witnesses exist in the Revelations book.)

    I don't know, it might be fun to improvise against some fresh hate materials. The same thing all the time gets old but polished responses.

  • It is not about the people that already host. It is about enabling many more by giving them an option to buy a path of least resistance. In exchange, it creates a potential revenue source in a completely untapped demographic. The subscription/donations demographic is like a very unique and niche market. The vast majority of people do not exist within that space. Most people do not have the financial stability to engage like this. It is not that they are unable to accumulate adequate funds, it is that their pay fluctuates over time and their baseline constraints are far more stressful than spending from times of surplus and opportunity. Catering only to those with such surplus and gatekeeping the complexity of self hosting is massively limiting adoption.

    The rule in managing a chain of retail stores is that, no matter how you select products to stock in stores, it is impossible to only select products that will all sell on one platform. How you manage the overburden always determines your long term success. You must employ other platforms and demographics to prioritize the mobility of cash flow.

    Similarly but inverted, this place has a slice of all demographics. Efforts tailored to the various subsets should tap entirely new potential. A fool imagines they can convert the unstable poor*'r* into a reliable stable income source via donations. Someone like myself has means but not a situation that is compatible. If I have some tangible thing to purchase, I can make that happen. I do not have any subscriptions in life for anything at all. Heck, I won't even shop on any of my devices I use regularly because I only buy what I intend to go looking to purchase with intent. That is not common, but what is common are spontaneous people that need time to align their finances with their desires. That person is likely to dread paying $5 every month compared to $250 in May when they get a couple thousand dollars on a tax return. Expecting the public to float the stability is stupid. That is not how the real world works. Real businesses always float the overhead. I'm talking about how to free the masses to self host everything for the cost of a nice router spent once with no techno leet filter.

  • Because 99.9% of people will never self host. They would much rather just buy a product that is not setup as a scam. The scam part is less important to most people than the lack of effort required.

    This isn't a thing to get into for the money. It would be about the FOSS aspect. Doing something like this would not break even for the time and labor involved. It might be worth doing for positive digital neighbors, but I am not at all interested in doing anything for negative or rude people.

    I come from a background of being a buyer for a chain of bike shops where I spent millions of dollars based upon knowledge of how such markets work. The entry level customer is all that really matters. The extra stuff is just to woo them into the store.

    In a place like this, if you engage, you're actually irrelevant. If you want to target growth, get a lurker to engage for the first time. Getting some random lurkers to buy into the hardware to self host because they care about software freedom is far far more effective than the current ecosystem. When servers are not updated, and people shut down because of administration, it says this is not viable for the average person with a life. So make this easy for the individual. It is such an obvious thing to do.

    The present system is basically like go compile OpenWRT for your router and people whining about how it is not fucking hard. It is not, but most people just do nor care to try it. They just want to buy a device, plug it in, and be done. Half of these devices are on factory original passwords. This is the real scope of what people are capable of and expect. The mismatch is easily solved by packing the fediverse as a device. The alternates are great for the 0.1%. I am not talking about you all. I am talking about something that could go from 0.1% to 5% of the fediverse is self hosted, and likely much larger. The whole endeavor would be like a coop socialist kind of thing from the ground up.

  • Physical disability both gave me infinite time and made me realize that, when I had this same perspective, it was my cluttered mind and self expectations that were and still are the problem.

    Do not be hard on yourself for the things you do not finish or when you lack the motivation to complete something. It is okay to do projects as a form of therapy and to walk away from them at any point that you are no longer getting value from them.

    There was a Linux conference years ago where the speaker talked about her human byte, aka what one could process and hold in memory at one time. This memory is finite, and it is okay to acknowledge that. Some people excel at expanding their human byte through organizational skills, others may simply have an extraordinary size or persistence. We are not all equal. Mine is about average, if not a little small. I have something like an abstracted secondary space in my head for very loose note taking, but my actual persistence within any given main project focus is only around 3 weeks before my motivations drastically fade. Many times I learn whatever thing I was really interested in long before the project is complete and never finish it. I have learned to not let that bother me. I was an automotive painter early in life. That job is all about defeating self expectations for time spent because perfection is not subject to an individual's emotions or ego. So I have no doubts about what I am actually capable of doing if I really care. Like I said, there are many more reasons for exploring one's interests than simply finishing projects.

    The psychology of this abstract space holds meaning far beyond first appearances. Do not hold back your self growth. That suppression is likely the underlying tension you are expressing. If you do not release this tension productively, you may regret the results that manifest as cognitive dissonance. The all or nothing premise is a fallacy that merits interpersonal exploration. In the past, I was blind to this as a fallacy. I'm not even sure if my explanation here would resonate with myself in the past, but hopefully it helps.
