I never thought it was bad. We have tonnes and tonnes of problematic garbage, but solar panels made from aluminion framing and silicon can just be put on a landfill if there’s nothing else to do with them. Just make a special landfill and that’s it, I bet it’s 1000 times better for the environment than putting normal household trash in a landfill.
@Zerush@lemmy.ml Hey thanks for making me aware of printed solar cells. I wonder what you think is the reason why they’re not manufactured at scale yet. If they’re as cheap and versatile as they say, they should be a no-brainer, right?
Maybe conventional panels are so cheap already, that they’re not that important to the total cost of installing solar? What’s holding this tech back, why isn’t it used to cover buildings etc.

So why not have a virtual file system on the VPS, which looks like it has the size of the HDD and it uses a specified amount of the vps storage for caching. So if someone watches a popular part of a popular video, the vps can serve the video content from the local disk. If someone wants to watch the video that nobody ever watches, it's not a problem since the uplink from home can easily deliver that as well, without the video taking the precious storage.

I know that peertube works with s3, but it will only move transcoded videos into a bucket and then serve them directly from there. I don't want that from home, it would also not use the upload performance of the VPS for popular videos.

Any thoughts? Good idea or not?

Hey I am looking for a way to have a network folder on a vps that uses a configurable amount of local storage for caching.

hey I am a genious I will simply make a social space (or social media website) without any rules. So everybody can do whatever they want.
*Someone spamming horse porn everywhere*
okay maybe let's have some rules, like no spamming or illegal stuff.
*People keep posting my little pony content or gore to unrelated sub forums*
Hmm let's just make a full CoC that basically only permits the kind of right-wing thought that we like.
End result is a shithole that nobody likes using, since right-wingers don't even like their own people.

Politics and journalists should never have used twitter as much as they did… It was always weird to me how journalists perceived twitter as some kind of public square.
