I guess your node might just have been searching for a copy of the page on DHT - my website is pinned on a single public node that runs 24/7 and it's not getting too many hits so on the first load it might take a moment to locate it in the network.
@EdwardTorvalds On IPFS or over regular HTTP? If you're using IPFS assistant, it should automatically switch to http://krvtz.net.ipns.localhost:8080/ on local gateway
@EdwardTorvalds I do, my https://krvtz.net/ website is all backed by IPFS :)
@EdwardTorvalds Apart from IPFS it's very well written and very informative article as well
@EdwardTorvalds I like this way of sharing articles! 👍
Russian Duma came up with a draft of a new law that will require gov permission for any kind of "enlightening activity" performed outside of the public education system, which basically would include anything from a private lecture in a pub to podcast, video or articles on any topics.
You just had a whole series of angry posts here on Mastodon from artists whose work has been posted on NFT websites without their permission.

This is the subject of my latest Locus column, "Free Markets," which makes the connection between Amazon's rent-seeking on audiobooks and the reason I couldn't deliver my audiobooks by app.

The short answer? If you sell stuff through an app on either of the major mobile app stores, then Google and Apple require you to use their payment processors and pay 30% for the privilege.

The founder who builds a factory and the workers who make it function contribute something to its product. The landlord who owns the dirt underneath it contributes nothing, but extracts rent, raising prices and lowering wages and profits.
Adam Smith railed against rents, describing markets as "free" when they were *free from rents*, not free from regulations. For centuries, a "free market" was a market where buyers and sellers operated without interference from rentiers, not regulators.

Last month Gab was hacked. I examined the ~65gb of the hacked data. Here's a broad overview of what I found.

Updated #introduction (2021):
I make art.
Sometimes I write.
My work is about #networks , including technology systems and complex more-than-human relationships.
I create interactive art installations using wood, paint, drawings, light, electronics, code, sensors, film & sound.
I always collaborate, including with animals, fungi, humans, trees, mould & birds.
I try to make my work accessible and with low environmental impact (please tell me if I fail).
My body is in Ireland.
I'm hopeful.
@Wetrix I believe that's more of an unwillingness to engage in disputes in general, as disagreement generally may have a personal touch, if you consider it personal. The idea that "let everyone have their own truth" is a kind of defensive mechanism here.

A real-world case for PV is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouarzazate_Solar_Power_Station in Morocco which occupies 2500 hectares with nameplate power of 582 MW, which gives an actual nameplate capability of 23.28 W/m^2 which is ~400x less than the theoretical irradiation.
Another important factor is that the plant uses vast amounts of water - 1.7 million m3 per year or 4.6 liters per kWh - for cleaning the mirrors, which is 23x more than a coal plant.
> would be able to power the entire United States
Actually, no. This kind of naive calculations are very misleading as they do not account for PV variability. Here's a good paper that explains that, the bottom line is in the screenshot:
