@dymaxion sandstorm had a capability system exposed to users. it's how you'd share access to your "grains", which is what it called isolated units of application data. https://sandstorm.io/how-it-works#capabilities

also, would you consider google docs' "allow access to anyone with link" sharing feature a capability system? i would. an opaque token that grants its bearer the chosen level of access - sounds like a capability!

How Sandstorm Works: Containerize data, not services

Take control of your web by running your own personal cloud server with Sandstorm.

@piggo it's a terrible use of resources and space. a much cheaper rack can give you more space to grow stuff. purpose-built hydroponics trays have much better drainage, which means fewer puddles and less algae.

also, you really don't want excessive humidity in a server room. you don't want any leaks there either.

(the answer is obviously no it's a stupid idea but i had fun)

@alexglow i tried it on a fancy benq monitor. switching colour space whenever it got hard felt like cheating. during the test, i was confident i'll score well below 0.001.

🤦‍♂️ i got 0.0024.

this ai bubble is going to burst any minute now, and we all know what that means: cheap data centre rack space in huge quantities.

can we use server racks to grow salad instead of swindle? i set out to find out: https://sa.lj.am/rack-mount-hydroponics/

@alexglow fun test! i suspect the quality of the monitor skews the results a fair bit. i got .0021 on an m1 macbook air. i'll try again later when i'm in the office on the monitor that has buttons to switch colour spaces.
@toph same
@toph and today i learned about prosopometamorphopsia.

This is an immaculately written response. It has calm, quiet authority, and seeks to respond not in the terms of the other interested party, but in a scope of worldwide community openness and empowerment. It does so with complete respect, but without diluting its own perspective. Bravo. (h/t @emily_s for the link)

here's az777 doing the same. i suspect the planes aren't actually doing this and that this is some artefact of messed up ads-b signal. would be interesting to learn why it's so precisely circular.
