• "So I have a lot of sympathy for the concept of decentralized finance. The simplest way to summarize my politics is "anarchist" and people coming together to find ways to organize and exchange resources outside of a government issued currency, as supported by the private financial sector's special status for capitalist states, has a lot of appeal to me." gemini://inconsistentuniverse.space/gemlog/2022-02-25-defi.gmi

• Remember: CLOWNFLARE is NOT free. They will charge more and more. Or alter limits. GULGATUBE is NOT free. Same for VIMEO. All of them can change costs (AWS/Clown is all about fee hikes with VENDOR LOCK-IN), threshold, visibility/tiering at ANY TIME. And you do NOT get to decline those changes. The only solution is to AVOID them RIGHT FROM THE START.
