Any reason you didn't use alpine for client side interactivity? When I went down the "use a framework plugin in Astro" route, I found it too jarring and reverted to alpine which I found worked well enough.

Zero discussion of the 3:1 premium limit in the ACA. The ACA mandates that you can only charge older people 3x the premium you charge younger people. Older people account for an extremely outsized portion of healthcare services received. This means that no matter how little healthcare you need as a healthy young person, you have to pay 33% of the estimated cost of care for someone who is end-of-life and possibly consuming hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) worth of medical care.
Re:GenosDB (GDB) – Decentralized P2P Graph Database on Thursday July 31, 2025 @10:27AM (#44746040)
Looks very promising. Do you have a vision for how we should build p2p apps more generally? I have recently found the holepunch libraries / pear runtime and am curious if you have any thoughts on those projects or how hypercore(?) compares to genosDB.
