The UTXO set just smashed through 5GB worth of data. I wonder if in a couple of years you are going to need a 2TB ssd to run a pruned node as is the case with Ethereum

I think Lopp or Rochard made calculations of how fast the chain would grow in size with only max size blocks. It cannot reach Eth levels...

So? Block size is capped at 4mb I think. That's max 200GB per year, forever..

You can't be a maximalist if your mind is still thinking in fiat...

@DarthCoin, I didn't find a meme I wanted to show my family which asked why we should move away from Google for our cloud storage.
It's about people loving revolutions in movies but are to lazy to do something in real life.
I have found https://darthcoin.substack.com/s/darthcoin-memes but it seems incomplete. Can you help me?

Tell them to use a NAS like QNAP or Synology and have their own "cloud" at home.
You can even run an email server, with your own domain on it.
No more fucking Google shit.
Hmmm maybe I would write a guide about that scenario, even that is not so Bitcoin related.
is not. That section is only with Darth related memes, with a short explanation.

I wanted to just host Nextcloud on a mini-PC and attach a regular external hard drive to it + configuring of /etc/fstab such that it will automount during reboots etc.
You think that will work nice, too? What's the use case for dedicated NAS? Convenience?

Nextcloud also is a good option.

Subs are obv a nice addition and much appreciated (feels good to be heard ;-). Thanks. But now comes the tricky part:
1/ What will be the next subs? Since Bitcoin and Nostr are covered, you can only add non-Bitcoin-related topics...
2/ How (and by whom) will new subs be created? SN creators, community voting?
I would suggest that anybody should be allowed to open a new sub, BUT with two conditions:
a/ You need to pay a high fee to create the sub (say 100k sats)
b/ Subs that don't reach a certain threshold of engagement after a week/month (number of posts and/or amount of sats tipped, TBD) are automatically terminated and the same subs can't be created for a month.

one thing that has been considered in the past is a monthly recurring fee for anyone who wants to start a sub.
the sun creator would pay up front and would earn all the sats from posting fees and a cut of platform fees.
they’d have a strong incentive to make sure there was enough activity on their sub to justify the expense they incur.

I see your point, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to live with the current three subs and let users get used to the new features. I already notice posts being placed in the wrong sub, and there are only three choices! Chaos may ensue if further complications are introduced.

It's Fed decision day! The fact that markets and financial media worldwide are obsessed with what the US central bank will do shows the myth of "U.S. free markets."
Capitalism died a long time ago.
