- Comment on I rent a vps to run fediverse instances. Here's what I've found 11 months ago:
The cloud flare unique visitors counts requests made by other federated instances. My solo instance reads around 14k unique visitors in the past week.
- Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan 1 year ago:
Tbf, a lot of these multi gig plans are geared to families, where more than one person could be doing high bandwidth activities. Or even just one person doing high bandwidth things doesn’t cause the other persons zoom call to stutter.

- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
Totally agree, but not everyone has the finances to do a big upfront cost like that. Same story as the $10 vs $50 pair of shoes from a century ago.
- Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America 1 year ago:
Tbf, minimum cost is going to be $4k, so for him/her the minimum was $8k. We don’t know their financial situation but that is a lot of money to cough up.

- Comment on They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip 1 year ago:
Yeah, all I can think of is that they would play ads 24/7 right in front of the parking spot.
- Comment on Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too 1 year ago:
My favorite are the chargers at buc-ees. Get to buy some beef jerky and a bbq sandwich while charging.
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
I would say that is a different issue. DMCA could go to whatever external host as well so that doesn’t change.
My argument was about butting faith in external providers to stay alive to continue hosting media. You can also get in a situation where an external provider decides to do a mass delete like what Imgur did this past summer.
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
The flip side of the argument is that if you also host the media you are not at risk of having broken links. I’ve seen a number of long running forums that had post bodies that contained external images that are now broken.
Of course an argument can be made that the only reason that those forums have lived for so long was due to not having costs associated with hosting media.

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t think I’ve seen them available in the last 3 months.
