What are you smoking?
A Craigslist can be stored on a server in the garage.
Those server farms are for spam. Only mass video needs scaling.
A meet up website can be put in your garage.
A Drudge Report can be stored in your garage.
Yeah same here. Besides platitudes, I can’t figure out what he is talking about.
My best guess is that it will be vaporware.
I live in a Florida county where ISP service is expensive.
I would love to have access to a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) based on routers.
This would allow me to see most of what’s of interest on the web without having to pay Verizon or Comcast.
I posted this about a year ago:
In theory, routers could be electronically hooked up to serve as regional networks.
A regional network might span all the way from Wilmington, Delaware to Hartford, Connecticut.
In much of the day, the regional network might span I-95 from Homestead, Florida to Bangor, Maine using routers or cell phone Wi-Fi in cars.
E-mail providers and merchants like Amazon might create regional network portals.
ISP and cell phone bills might go the way of the dinosaurs.
Anything crippled Big Search or social media titans
I’m for it
“I live in a Florida county where ISP service is expensive.”
With memory and storage costs approaching free, bandwidth is the last real cost barrier.
Something that puts that in everyone’s hands, could really hamper centralized control.
Actually I see it from a quite different perspective...
If you research and read from say George Gilder and others you will find that the “Google” and others model is heading for a fall, in fact they are running out of steam as we speak because their databases are collecting the wrong thing and it’s purpose has created a burden they cannot solve
My money is on Tim and his vision aligns with one I subscribe to as well as many others
JMHO but this article was a great find
I used to go on YouTube and music surf. It was great but at some point they quit showing similar music and now show stuff I’ve already watched. Their algorithm sucks now.
Cool!!! Godspeed. Inrupt. Good name.
#7 I see the fork to the right, that must have been Mosaic then it must fork over to Netscape out of the picture frame.
Most of the internet storage is for music and video so takes massive server farms for storage.
I wonder what the storage is for all the websites without them?
Not many computers would be needed I guess.
Just finished reading George Gilder’s Life After Google. Excellent read.
“One of the plot lines of the show Silicon Valley.”
I have not seen the show. Would you please give us the gist of that plot line?
are PGP and one-time-pad
files allowed on FR?
can I post to FR from TOR?
LOL!!
I’m not a moderator (if you are not just being rhetorical).
It’s about the misadventures of a bunch of geeks in Silicone Valley. One of their schemes is to hijack storage space on people’s smart phones for a distributed network independent of server farms.
my questions age for any FRer to answer
Children just remember that the one world plan has not worked since the Tower of Babel fell by God’s hand. HE figured out that smaller was better and more valuable, just like diamonds. Areas with common language, common cultures and common laws worked much better and still do. So I’m praying for the fall of snow flakes and Communist ideas. May they fail bigly. America first!! May every culture find their own homeland and happiness.
