Last Notes
Post to curated, paid, or WoT relays, rather than just the biggest ones. Lots of us look at those feeds and stumble across new people.
You would think the largest relays give you the widest reach, but they're so full of spam that nobody looks at them without a filter. And that filter also removes anyone new.

Ras Laffen was bombed. Multiple years of repairs expected before it gets back to full capacity. For a ton of Americans their electric and heat depend on natural gas. Oil isn't the only factor.

Disagree completely. First of all, the US military is basically a massive subsidy to the oil industry that doesn't get accounted for as energy expense, but it is.
Capex vs opex and then lifetime total needs to be split to have a fair conversation. Capex is higher for renewables for some uses but opex and total lifetime expenditure are already lower.
Any opex discrepancy now, say buying solar vs natgas electric from the power company, is an illusion caused by feeding fossil fuels into 30 year old plants. The fossil fuel had a 30yr head start amortizing the capex. Head to head today starting from 0 the numbers look different.
Add to that doubling or more the cost of oil and natgas over the next couple of years because of the destruction of the war and the balance gets tipped even farther.
One of the world's largest natgas facilities is offline because it was bombed with a multi year horizon to get it back assuming all fighting stops tomorrow.
That leaves a situation where a lot of power uses simply will not have the option to use fossil fuels at any cost. Money can't buy what doesn't exist to be bought.

Sure, but that may be worse for users who aren't already accustomed to the data requirements of clients. Many of us have built it in because that's how it's always been. We didn't start optimized and then one day realize we've used 80% more data for some unknown reason. I suppose you could warn them and give them data saving options as the middle approach again

That's the problem, in my mind. You're taking a decentralized thing and trying to figure out how, why, and where parts of it will be centralized. This is one reason I suggested a resource multiple clients can use. I figure more funding and more eyes will increase the up time. But that's just a guess. Could somehow cause the opposite. Or other problems. Either way, I don't think it's as simple as just doing or not doing it. You're also immediately shifting the cost of compression from user download data to client author compression compute.
A middle approach would be to give users a data saving option that simply doest load ridiculous PFPs, however you wish to define that. Or let them define it, if possible

Sure, but it isn't like doing that is free. It's going to be more complicated than just doing or not doing it for some clients at scale (for every user). What might be cool is a shared resource multiple clients can use. There's no reason to keep optimizing what's already been optimized, so they could all pull from the same bank.

I guess these mass firings in successful #tech companies mean the end of the corporate lies about "human capital" being their "most valuable asset"!🤔
