christophwarnerhttps://overreacted.io/a-social-filesystem/ this was a fun read, it's basically, the design interface for Unix? You know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file. That said i'm a little unclear on how this matters if the overall goal is decentralization. It's kind of like AI meaning different things to different people. We are all looking at this elephant but some of us are looking at the trunk and some the tail.

Save your disk, write files directly into RAM with /dev/shm
Given my interest in extending the life of my SD cards and hard drives as much as possible, I’m surprised I haven’t come across /dev/shm before. In a word it’s a world-accessible RAM scratchpad, which seems baked right into POSIX, so that virtually every ~Unix~ EDIT: Linux system already has it mounted as a tmpfs by default: 1 2 ❯ mount | grep '/dev/shm' tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,inode64) Today’s lucky 10,000, indeed.
