Everything I want to do hits limits of saas tooling. I hit airtable's 50k entry limit in an evening. I am literally buying more ram so I can run stuff in Coda w/out browser crashing. It is so frustrating to want to play w/ data while still having the turn around of Saas tools. https://t.co/wkfqo1Dv0S
In other news, I am building out a cluster of single board computers and plan to scale from 3 to about 27 in one rig, with two sata drives each.Thank you Ceph and Gluster.I think about this a lot: https://t.co/HpExxYP0dR
Does anybody have experience with @balena_io? I think they'd be a good target for what I'm doing, but am not sure about data security aspects. Going to be dealing with massive digest of personal healthcare data and it looks like they've built what I was working on in 2013.
I also think @PlatformIO_Org is interesting. Being able to run my own IoT IDE via a locally hosted VScode https://t.co/KjeWlG1b75 instance seems pretty great for my application of all of this stuff.
I currently own two Antec 900 computer cases (my first computer i built was one, and happened to grab another for free from a friend).Theoretically I can fit 6 ssds per 5.25 bay. But more importantly, I can scale it up over time as needed.
Big data. Yuge data!https://t.co/c90HbvLS0S https://t.co/BHPdXTJoWP
Decentralized tech that puts the user back in control.How can we build things that even a child can use safely?https://t.co/6BXrtXBmsi
My personal threat model doesn't include state level actors. However as my interests in DIY medical also overlap with concerns about HIPAA and GDPR, the kinds of hacks that governments can do are potentially threats with respect to health care data mining.https://t.co/LPRNFO9EFf
I think about this a lot: Who are you building for?https://t.co/xHqFy5xPe7
My keybase has been "what are we building?" since I created it.This speaks to me.https://t.co/xEGJNZDP3Q

Democratization is a double edged sword.A meta-tragedy-of-the-commons is a dissolution of the community oriented trust networks that actually serve to police respect of common goods. It gets replaced w/ an easily gameable fee reflecting a narrow utility.https://t.co/RNXzqX1uPD
"cheap" thru of the power of the market.vs."cheap" thru outsized investments looking to destabilize the market by pumping money to artificially lower the cost in a game to undermine the competition long enough to sink their boat like pirates.https://t.co/TFsR2cVyK0
If all you effectively have is a price as a signal of information about the costs, you are in a position where the man-behind-the-curtain is able to manipulate you thru information disparity. Markets run on information.https://t.co/kR9TRWDnEd
If the price of a good is too good to be true, it probably is.This leads to adverse selection. https://t.co/McyLyvo7zGPop cat's name is oatmeal.https://t.co/bKJdqrd8cn
I modified one of #holochain's charts to make a fair-use commentary on their promotional material ( https://t.co/WGZgoB63R9 ) to describe why I recommended gun instead.Can anyone with experience with #urbit chime in to compare?https://t.co/8A69jOtgsE
One of the problems I have with Holochain is that while they promote 'users control their data', I feel this is disingenuous marketing. My data is useless if I can't also control the software I need to use it.https://t.co/kxfskCvYLr
If your startup builds tools where the user is in full control of their data, all of a sudden much of that SaaS restriction goes away.Anyone can spin up a pleroma or mastaodon instance. Anyone can join scuttlebutt. IPFS, DAT, GUN, SpaceMonkey.TL;DR:https://t.co/HxCyB2CtcT
What's the deal with HOT tokens running on Ethereum? That seem like a questionable thing to be doing if they're trying to meme themselves into being viewed as practical and not having costs associated with using the platform. https://t.co/D4zolyDVV1
I know urbit is trying to bootstrap using ERC20 https://t.co/glo1fplgHj by burning tokens as a costly signal. But I didn't realize holo was doing something weird like that too. Anyone know what their justification is?
Ok, so they have all these white papers talking about how blockchains are expensive and costly, then go and run "Initial Community Offering" using ERC20https://t.co/ooX018uI7pWith a 1:1 trade to go from HOT to HoloFuel. https://t.co/USrZm99nIeThat isn't confusing at all.
Ya'll want a permissioned blockchain with a built in p2p node and some how get paid to host other people's data using mythic "proof-of-service" 'invoice'. How do you prove you committed storage w/out some kind of mining mechanism? Can't hosts just lie?https://t.co/rSlWwR3abk https://t.co/Ao2FY1Jpw3
Heh.https://t.co/72eS34JrVN https://t.co/aflVOQuHOD
LMFAO at a bunch of people complaining that a ephemeral utility token implemented as a way to track "proof-of-service" debts (what ever that means) & pay for hosting isn't going to work to buy food with.https://t.co/KMpsNmh7hg
I have to admit, I don't get it.https://t.co/Kb4OpxuRJ6

Now this? This is how you democratize access.Thank you @o1lab, @nocodb is brilliant.https://t.co/Hw1uRaedNZ https://t.co/88pALpiykA
The only reason I haven't replicated a variation on what @chrisdancy has been doing in Airtable for my own work flow is because I have been homeless often enough in the past 16 years that I can't trust I'd have access to it.My Raspberry Pi can run off of a solar panel.
My brain and my heart, tied up in vendor lock-in.Gotta pay someone to think. Gotta pay someone to feel.https://t.co/K62tWYHvtt
I used to use OneNote like people use Roam. I haven't been able to fully invest in either; I now have to pay Microsoft for privilege of hosting my external brain on Onedrive to share.This is partly why I started using twitter similar to how @jerrymichalski used his 'Brain'.
These systems are unsustainable.https://t.co/Ild448QJC3
Saas tools take on a different meaning when you use them to help with cognitive difficulties vs just amplifying productivity.https://t.co/KsVay0KD8t
"Everybody has the huge cloud idea and promises it as the next best thing since sliced bread. But totally forgetting that if you do not have access to the cloud you are completey stranded with this kinda of architecture." [2016]https://t.co/WzInU15oTxhttps://t.co/3gDiL3OkG4
Something I think a lot about is hardware durability. I used to be able to have my phone vibrate when I was having an panic attack.My first fitbit's battery died.https://t.co/FpXL9Zcek8
The second one I was given as a gift ended up failing too.Didn't really matter though because you can't do that anymore because Fitbit's new dataflow requires cloud access. You are basically force to be connected if you wanna see Realtime charts.https://t.co/PA7efgjRFM
I can kinda get this with a CPAP being paid for by insurance, but not with just some random heartrate sensor.https://t.co/vCLsQ2WAay
Thinking about Saas limits again while looking at ways to store QS samples for my N-of-1. At 1200 entries on the free plan, that's 40 entries a day for 30 days. Gets used up quick. the pro plan would get exhausted in 4 months.https://t.co/lBXdwuM8HO
I recommend @airtable to people who don't need to store a lot of data to make their app design practical. But if you need something with more than a handful of relationships don't even bother.I had over 50k+ entries in a database app I wrote in 1996 using on a monochrome pc
I love the idea of tying all my stuff together into a PIM (personal information management) system. I already have a basic mood and data tracker setup in airtable that worked to let me find out environmental stressors.https://t.co/SRM0OLCxoX
Time to poke my friend about retrofitting this into a gunjs based data store.Hey @nsreed look, it has a docker!https://t.co/qhXmXHjVzB
Happy to see 64 bit Raspbian is becoming greenlit. Helps with running server workloads.https://t.co/jp0cmbYJNo
I love what @geerlingguy is doing. He's building out something similar to what I was trying to get going. https://t.co/6WqZiVaFvM
For some reason my brain keeps saying "act accordingly" over and over.https://t.co/2ONW5YLmdL
