Badum tssss

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

I’m actually curious on Rust, i don’t like how dispersive can be JavaScript, i prefer to build smaller, maybe uglier things, but that work and are nicely stable, scalable and can be integrated on multiple different platforms. Also i love that almost everything runs on Cargo and i don’t have to choose between 100 things that essentially cover the same target. I also think the Discord idea is quite good, i just want to find someone who is on my same level to grow / build cool things toghether, or small projects on which i can actively partecipate, there’s also an association near me that promotes opensource projects and give free code lessons, i might give it a try as well and see if i meet someone there. I’m gonna give it another try before deciding of giving up, i think it is deserved.

And how you deal with that, how do you choose what to do and what not to do?

Honestly when i first got into coding i liked the fact it could give me jobs i could do from every part of the world, that is still on demand and that gave a certain freedom on how you approach technology and customize it to make it your own, i always liked to tinker around with computer and i even have a small home server i use for several stuff. I loved how useful internet was to find informations otherwise unreachable and share stuff without censorship woth everyone, as i said i love the story of the cypherpunk movement, i see bitcoin as a real solution to our obsolete economy, and i thought i would have liked to have a role into changing this shitty system paradigms, my target was to work with lightining network or similar protocols maybe one day. However i feel like i’m changing lately and i’m lacking human interactions so much, there’s no point in building something toghether if there’s no emotions to share with others before, during and after the process. Maybe it’s just how i’m made, but i cannot stick to it, i just get super depressed and i see no point in doing it. Maybe i’m just lazy i don’t know, but it is like that.

Adding the fact that sometimes i feel like technology controls me, and not the opposite despite all the efforts i make, feels just super wrong and not how i want to live.

I’m studying webdevelopment so i’ve had the opportunity to work only on simple stuff so far, but it already feels super overwhelming, sometimes i get lost just in setting up my coding environment, just to realize it will only be one of many i’ll need to learn how to work with.

Thank you so much! Now it’s definetely clearer

It happened to me too, multiple times. I guess we just need to take it slowly, one thing at the time and not forcing ourselves intowantinfg to learn everything

No. Just no. If you prefer having single points of failure - either stick to Reddit or spin up a private unfederated Lemmy instance.

Sorry i didn’t explain myself very well.

By central server i meant a pinning service, but that could even be hosted by the already existent fediverse istances.

I’ll paste one answer i added below:

I meant sharding. that’s what IPFS is about, the files on it are sharded between different computers accross all over the world that request the specific resource. When you ask through ipfs for a resource, it would perform a lookup and see if that’s available and in which node, then serve it to the client and cache it on its node. Content can be pinned to specific nodes in order not to be deleted through garbage collection, and that was what i was meaning by “central server”, there are services (like Pinata) doing just that: pinning content on fast servers and making it readily available. But i guess those nodes can also be the current fediverse istances, i had a central server in mind more due to that and because of the fact that smaller servers (available to the little associations that host fediverse istances) couldn’t probably keep up with something like sharding right now, but i don’t really know.
