Just a blue green! But I agree somewhat. Single machine running Docker compose is pretty decent. Pets! Not cattle. (I'd rather care for a dog than a 100 sheep)

Digital Ocean I believe is pay as you go and supports this for anyone who can click "link my Github account" and auth themselves.

Digital Ocean is not equal to "run on a raspberry pi or mini PC and be just fine".

If you have enough users that you need to scale to more machines ... run the rpis in a 3d printed 1u rack adaptor as a kubernetes cluster.

Ollama has underlying plain URLs but they are parts so you'd need something to combine them. But you can use curl.

Otherwise a docker one liner to run ollama should do it.

Docker is a "core util" right.

In addition big AI are swinging their clubs with Trump so this is a good way to jail the competition.

You are both talking as if this could possibly pass, and it cannot.

We've lived through a number of "That could never happen, though" scenarios in the past decade. I'm feeling a bit skeptical towards skepticism at the moment.

We are replying to the "the alternate universe where this passed" comment.

It is getting less less rare every 4 years.

In what way? I assume you know how the minting of coins work with miners

Eth famously forked and reversed txns due to someone getting scammed.

the fact that eth classic was created from this incident and still exists does inspire some confidence that ethereum's governance is somewhat decentralized also, to be fair.

And IIRC it wasn't a "scam", it was a bug in a smart contract.

Yes a smart contract bug. Hacked might be a better word. Or outsmarted?

ETH forked because the contract was poorly written and they didn't want to honor the contract because their buddies would have lost a lot of money and the project would have gotten an egg to their face.

It smells, looks and quacks like a loan.

Smells more like a tokenomics scheme than a loan to me.

You can't do both but they feed into the same "OKR" if you like:

A. Get rich (how rich? How likely?), so I can do what I like absolutely.

B. Do what I like now, so am guaranteed to have done what I like, but still be at the mercy of corporate/academic tides.

Both are fine choices. Need to do the decisioning to find out which has more "do what I like" ness to it.

That seems like an unnecessary vulnerability waiting to happen.

Can’t wait till they patch it away and we lose the ability to investigate our own https traffic.

At some point someone needs to take responsibility for allowing modification of environment variables via something dumb like http. Debugging interfaces are fine- we should expect more from developers.
