I've spent like 3 years trying to get Kali to walk nicely in public.
She has eaten thousands of treats, and was still a nightmare.
I got a slip lead, she's walking perfectly. I don't feel worried walking her? I felt peaceful. She was happier, much less frustrated.
I just can't believe it was this simple
We're definitely in a position where some instances roughly trust the others, but not fully.
Federation is an act of "I mostly trust you".
So what would a Mastodon look like if we pushed that further? What if instances could maintain a shared DB of public posts, and relegate instance level and private posts to their own smaller DB?
The fediverse would remain resilient as long as each group didn't grow too large, and most server storage for this type of data is resilient regardless.
We'd get the benefit of scaling, and reduced waste, with a higher benefit to communities that work together. Coming together reduces server costs, workload, but doesn't cause issue to the identity of each server.
One of my major concerns with Mastodon is that it's inherently wasteful of resource
We constantly run cycles to move data from one database to another, quickly exceeding the benefit to resilience we could get from replication.
Having a database engines on each instance is in opposition to the benefit of scaling, as each engine requires some processing just to exist, to run.
So I've been on injections for four months now.
I'm significantly better off mentally, to the point where I legitimately consider hormones as a medical treatment independent to my transition
Sometimes I worry that I haven't fulfilled enough of my life's purpose by the age I am.
Then I remember that Jesus took until he was 35 to get crucified, I've got time.
