If you have an interest in music as experimentation and exploration, this is worth your time. Graham has created a framework, a wonderful environment that puts his work in rich rich constraints that he finds so much to discover within.

@iju @cstross I'm not trying to convince the elites here, I'm talking everyday people who got taken in by the trans people in sports bullshit for example. I literally used the Epstein line recently on someone close to me whose heart is in the right place but was taken in for a while by TERFs writing for a magazine they read, pointed out some of the columns they talked about to me last year happened because of Epstein money.

@cstross and of course, if you're anti trans, how does it feel knowing the talking points you're spouting were probably paid for by Epstein money?

@nick @Veticia if you think that's the next Google you've got another thing coming. I'll tell you right now that's a relatively simple cloud infrastructure.
> How much are fedi users actually harmed if there’s downtime on their instance?
Once again: we all get to choose, that's the joy. You don't have to choose that, but if people do, they're not doing you any harm, and you should butt out.

@Veticia @nick you've told me about two other instances, that organize their hardware in two different ways to meet different user requirements and availability requirements. This says nothing about Cloudisland and its choices.
I seriously don't understand what you're trying to prove at this point. Please stop. I'm bored now.

> objectively the opposite of how we should be building instances
Excuse me? Says who? Objective?
Aurynn wants high availability for her instance. Her users are willing to pay for that. I don't see how anyone else gets a say in whether that's the right way to do things or not.
To be clear, I don't have a problem with you all running on big chunks of physical hardware. We all get to choose, that's the joy.

@Veticia @rastilin @aurynn @xssfox it's still a single machine. Things fail other than disks. If that machine fails, can you quickly fail over to another machine? Aurynn can easily stand up and fail over to replacement instances if the hardware she's on fails.
You're telling Aurynn that her service is over-engineered, without knowing the SLAs Aurynn is trying to work to. And I'll tell you now, they're SLAs that you cannot meet with a single physical machine.
