If you can’t understand Russian and Ukrainian and are thought-constrained by the Overton window you won’t find much value there. I do, though >95% of everything is drek and you have to have the time and enough built-in analytics between your ears.

Try Telegram and the Moon of Alabama for that.
Yeah, when I lived in the US I did that.
And this is why we’re doomed.
Do not expect to find facts on Wikipedia when the overall propaganda volume is deafening.
This war started more than a decade ago. Russian Federation only became a party some two years ago.
The next target after Russia loses against NATO will be China actually. And then Iran, North Korea. But you’ll get a total nuclear exchange well before, so it’s academical.
So likely next proxy is Moldova, Romania, Georgia, Belorus. Poland is also a possibility, but not at first. Unless Belorus, but then we’re at tactical nukes stage already.
The conflict started more than a decade ago. Currently it’s a proxy war mostly limited to the territory of Ukraine and Russia. Other countries are in the pipeline.
What does “win” even mean? NATO starting World War 3? Well, they’re getting there.
It’s pretty hard to get banned on all instances of Lemmy. Particularly, your own.
You are rude, pointlessly combative and move goalposts. Bye.
The point is that even Lemmy instances not optimized for a P2P distribution model can be run on an embedded footprint on domestic fiber broadband. Which is going beyond 10G in some locations. Though symmetric 1G fiber is quite enough.
The aggregate network crossection and compute plus storage on network edge up to on-prem is already more than sufficient for the purposes without requring significant DC footprint. Even factoring in porn and cat videos.
The reasons many people use commercial cloud and DC hosted severs is cost, network quality and convenience. Self-hosting is a PITA but my point it would be adequate for the kind of people that consume resources like lemmy. Though you probably could build a Netflix scale platform on mostly P2P though it would be tough engineering.
P2P architectures run on a routed mesh mostly on network edge don’t really need DC server farms. Switching packets, especially minus porn and cat videos don’t take much DC space or power either. Lemmy isn’t that different from Usenet via uucp on dialup, even considering today’s scale.
Not even an Altair 8800, at least in my country.
Nobody had personal computers when I was ten.
How do you verify novel content generated by AI? How do you verify content harvested from the Internet to “be correct”?
It’s the AI version of the human centipede rather.
Possibly, eventually. Right now I’m using some useful proprietary things from the Play Store, as well as GMail, shared calendar and Maps.
I’m getting too old to self host All The Things, but if Google insists to be a dick I’ll let most of it go and self host the rest.
As someone who’s stuck with doing the automation, it definitely doesn’t make my life easier. Or faster. It’s just stressful, full of boring complexity and annoying. First world problems, I know.
