A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Imagine thousands of instances, paid for by individuals. It's not expensive to rent a server with maybe 50 GB of space for less than 10 dollars.
So 50 GB times 1000 = 50 TB of data. Of course not YouTube level but that's just 1000 people too.
What if 100.000 people paid that much?
I think federated is the future.
