As someone who grew up with AC, I was one time in Brazil and got stuck in a place without AC. Needless to say the first few nights was hell. I just couldn't follow asleep. However after few days, my body just adjust to the local temperature, and really enjoyed it. In fact, going into mall with AC just feels too cold for me then. Of course there is a limit to what our body can endure, but there is something to be said about exposing and adapting our body to the natural elements instead of just adjusting the environment to make what is comfortable to our body.
Hmm why is it 186.1MB? Where Search is only 2MB? And blocks ads. Seems like much needed browser that is NOT Chromium based. Seems like DDG team can learn something from the way how Search is built.

The point is NOT older, rather decentralized!

From a efficiency perspective centralized anything seems better at first glance, however decentralized anything just seems more resilient in the long run like nature and/or our universe.

Being using granite model pretty small and good. Can't do JSON, but don't really care.

Which models are EasyOCR and RapidOCR using?

US's birth rate are actually way higher than Europe and China, not as high as Africa, but still better than most other areas in the world.
Well at that seems to be one of main thing on mind of the Chinese:

People should always compromise speed for data sovereignty! Who said: that in this digital day and age, information about money is more important than money!

>That these frontier models are so powerful

Maybe powerful might NOT be the right word to describe them, they are just non-deterministic, there for we going to see this kind thing more and more.

Also for all these kind of ssh stuff. Please include server finger print so others verify.

Is this your server fingerprint?

ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:Tc7aeaaQulKJeF3C/zd2BKvq/KgaQTHyMPNa3s9K+aE.

> Document store -> FerretDB

Love FerretDB, but it doesn't really replace MongoDB's GridFS which is main reason why most people who are really using Mongo now day. Anyone knows a good replacement for GridFS?

> It uses DNS/pkarr and relays as the primary method.

Thanks for clarifying that. So does that mean Iroh still require a DNS server or domain name even though it doesn't rely on IP address?

I thought dial by key means the other party just need to be on internet and has the right key/pubic identifier then they can reached.

Where does the message resides if the other end is NOT online?

Seems like nothing can really get around this without a server/relay/TUN/STUN server. Peer to Peer messaging just doesn't work otherwise.

Saw Iroh post on HN. Just wonder how it differ from Nostr, Scuttlebutt or Yggdrasil or DHT etc? Many from Nostr claim that they are successor of scuttlebutt, but many devs from Scuttlebutt highly dispute that.

Be good to get a comparison between these protocols for devs who want to use them.
