  • An interesting alternative that I've found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.

  • Hm, my guess would be either "cube control" or "cube C-T-L".

    EDIT (2025-02-28T09:02Z): Hm, actually, given that it's for Kubernetes [1], maybe it's "koob control" or "koob C-T-L"… [2]?

    I think that's a fair point! At any rate, I do agree with you in that I think that users should be completely portable for a truly sustainable federated service.

  • It could be done without having to clone all data though. Reddit is hosted by AWS and their data is distributed on multiple servers, so replace AWS by a bunch of people like you and me providing disk space for the data and tada, you can decentralized the database and just give people access to interacting with it directly (through code) or via various front-ends that people would create. […]

    If I understand you correctly, there is an open issue for Lemmy for an, I think, similar idea of co-hosting communities.

  • […] they’re always using the same credentials no matter the website they use and no matter the website they can interact with everything that ever happened on the servers, no one has the power to prevent users from seeing some of the transactions that happened (no admins) because the website they use are just a front used to simplify interaction with the servers. […]

    Hm, IIUC, this is one of Bluesky's issues that the linked blog post was pointing out — if joining the network requires one to mirror all existing data, it makes it prohibitively expensive for anyone to spin up a server to join the network if the size of the network is enormous.

    IIUC, are you perhaps referring to something like Nostr?
