I think a blurb would be a great idea, especially for your project.
I feel like the biggest hurdle for your project is that the people it speaks to, especially the way you market it (analogues to natural, organic things like plants, the purposeful methodology intrinsic to gardening, as well as the nostalgic throwback to a simpler time of the internet when everything was more hand-made and deliberate) are the same people that will be put off by AI, being that it’s the antithesis of those things.
Making your case for why and how it’s used, (IE Not just vibe-coded slop but something that matters a little more to you) might be enough to keep people on board, and maybe give it an honest try.
Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. the goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.
St John Chrysostom
The demands of justice must be satisfied first of all; that which is already due in justice is not to be offered as a gift of charity.
Second Council of the Vatican
When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.
Pope St Gregory
Three quotes referenced in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and just one example of the dissonance between many “Christians” in the U.S. and the faith they purport to follow.
If that doesn’t get them, the fact that the concept of social justice, as in the actual coining of the term as well as the movement against capitalist exploitation brought on by the Industrial Revolution was by the Catholics does lol
The meaning behind it all is very simple, we’re all in this together, and the gifts given to us by God/nature belong to all of us. They’re not for us to hoard, or to exploit others for.
They are not. There are of course things in Christianity that the left in the U.S. does not align with either, most of which have to do with human sexuality. But I am a devout Catholic and my wife an atheist and we align on 95% of our values.
On the other hand a vast majority of the church’s fundamental core beliefs are utterly incompatible with the values of the modern conservative. In only one example the political right rails against entitlements for the poorest of us and demands that no help be given to anyone who doesn’t work hard enough for it or be otherwise deemed morally worthy, meanwhile St John Chrysostom preached until exile and death that for those who have wealth, to not share it with the poorest among us is to steal from them. That sharing our wealth with the poor should not even be considered an act of grace or charity, but of justice.
The right misunderstands yet wears the cross in the exact same fashion that they do the American flag, and there’s a reason the current sitting president has had active beef with both the current pope and the preceding one.
Can't really tell if that's the case or not. It looks like the base files you upload are stored on the filesystem as normal, and the "blocks" (metadata) is what's stored in the DB?
Great post. Just a heads up, I feel like the "loading" screen with it's fade in and out animations and all actually make your website feel slower than it needs to.
I once contacted Verizon L1 support for a network outage, and they use your classic outsourced call center in Singapore, can’t actually do much of anything to help you style support and he just kept telling me how crazy it was that I wasn’t yelling at him, and lowered the price of my service for the next 3 years lol.
Depending on your mobile OS you can set a password to access certain apps in addition to unlocking your device. In the US, you cannot be compelled to give someone your password, so as long as biometrics aren’t the only thing securing it you’re fine.
Additionally to that, if you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime necessitating your phone be broken into, your server of ill-repute is most likely the least of your worries.
Oh you’re outside the U.S. yeah that’s a pickle. Microcenter is a brick and mortar store here so I’d definitely recommend checking for your local equivalent.
No. AI companies have huge storage requirements for training data. Flash storage is not cost efficient for mass storage quantities.
