If the answer you get to a software or coding problem is any variation of "just throw more computing power at it," including using "the cloud" (someone else's computers) instead of your own tiny server farm, the odds are pretty good you're either asking the wrong question or listening to a techbro.

While not perfect, growing your own tiny server farm can be rewarding.

@arielmt don't water those particular seedlings too much or all you'll get will be bad memories...

@arielmt Absolutely. Just keep looking out for bugs that want to eat the young shoots.

@arielmt Not often I have an excuse to show my uncropped pfp! This is a patch of 555s from a few years back

@arielmt
Remember to trim the code and compile at least once a year. But better twice. These are very little. So be sure to give them rest but l by keeping them air-gapped for a few weeks. Their root passwords might not be strong enough to be out on the open network.

@arielmt
Communication via sphagnum uses fuzzy logic. 😁

@arielmt a business can accomplish absolutely anything so long as it has infinite money and no concrete deadlines.

@arielmt can't wait till we get to a point where we'll be rendering interfaces on a remote server, thus making x11 a relevant protocol again

@arielmt the important parts of the abtmtr.link suite run on 4GB of memory with a 4 core Intel Celeron in a fanless mini PC in the living room of my mother’s house.
No need for computing power. All you need is sheer willpower and also a laptop fan oops
