haha... i have a project coming up for these guys
it's still only in testnet and i have yet to hear or read a credible model for actually immutable permanent storage without an absurd price due to the clear actuarial risk of it
i think they need to bulid a system that opportunistically cashes and replicates frequently requested data and gradually trims back the replication rate as data gets less attention
the very exact same problem exists with Internet Computer Protocol which is an earlier, and similar sort of blockchain project, and my current project is using IC as an event store (has a basic filter search functionality bulit into it)
i dunno what is in the mind of the guys who build these things exactly, i've done zoom meetings with several of them and honestly they seem spaced out to me
and i get into frequent debates with my colleague over issues of architecture and engineering even though i'm 8 years into actually working in this field and he's fresh out of a B.Sc in CS
don't count on that data sticking around forever
i think a dynamic, automatic archival storage economizing protocol is coming in the future but arweave is not it, not yet

that's a negative on the toxicanization but subscriptions wth guys
i'm doing my bit to make this a thing anyhow... it's not in my current work exactly but i've got pieces in place ready to do a full authed DM based CLI that will enable paying for subscriptions and no out of band website bullcrap, 100% pure #nostr
also, pay per use on a prepaid basis can work, but it has to be fairly flexible, i haven't even started to actually make a measure of what traffic actually happens, would be good to actually have accounting of how much event data actually is pulled by a client per npub and figure out a scheme for making that work
the time based subscription is probably adequate but it could be purely data based

i'm pretty sure i've wreaked havoc on parasites inside me with my recent milk diet... yeasts especially need sugars and lactose is no good and they will have been starving
i have many symptoms of being prediabetic, so cutting out starches and sugars has been crucial, though i occasionally eat some corn snack or so, probably no more than 2x a week now, and most of the time i'm just eating cheese, salad, eggs and milk
diet is important because the parasites depend on certain things and i'm pretty sure that one common factor in many parasitic infections is excess blood sugar

man, i have had a very full weekend... big adventure on a dilapidated cliffside road with my bike, repaired a puncture, i'm completely splattered right now, probably doesn't help that my butt is sore from the bicycle
gonna sleep well tonight and then back to werk tomorrow last week of the project, mostly just gonna be a bit of bugfixing and lots of documentation and some marathon sessions with the colleague prepping for our demo
gotta even figure out how we are gonna do that... i've told him to install linux on his new laptop so hopefully when i hear from him next he's got linux so the wireguard setup is easy

You should stop assuming things... like I said, most Christians disagree with my views.
Take all the magic out of the story. Make Jesus a carpenter who was born in total povery to a mom that whored herself to some rich "wise men" behind Joseph's back. Jesus grows up poor & has to fix everything to have anything. Then being a builder & someone who had to figure out how things really work, went around teaching people how to live better lives & how to better cultivate crops & catch fish & to heal ailments that people thought couldn't be healed (carnivores are doing similar things today, it doesn't have to be magic). And his popularity & unconventional thinking were eventually seen as a threat to people in power so he was tortured & killed by govt & religious authorities for disobeying the law by helping someone on the wrong day. But his execution ultimately backfires & dramatically shifts popular opinion about the nature of govt & established religious authorities. So much so that our dates are built around him, people deified him & still worship him thousands of years later.
Compress the stories, play the telephone game, translate & re-translate, realize that govts don't want normies to follow the example set by Jesus & normies don't want the responsibility of having to stand up for anything, so everyone want him to be larger than life so they can say but "who am I to do what he did" or "but who are you." Twist the story to incorporate some previously held religious beliefs that were over taken by Christianity. And I think you get roughly the mess we have today.
But when you take all the magic out of the story does it become more or less meaningful? I think it becomes more meaningful. Much like Julian Assange, or Snowden, or Ulbrict, a man tried to show people reality in defiance of authority & he was killed for it. If we place that story in the position of highest importance and remember that we don't want to be on the side that kills or persecutes innocent people, then the world is more likely to become a better place.

The Old Testament is not an allegory. It’s very straightforward and specific. So much so that only certain jews could enter the holy of holys and if they were wearing the wrong jewels, god would strike them dead. It’s a fiction. The creator of all things confined to a room that people made. It reads, once you get out of the mind cult telling you what to think about what you read, like a convoluted, failed experiment. The likelihood that the creator, if there is one, needs validation via worship, or obedience is just stupid. If this was all created, that being needs nothing. Again I say, read those words verbatim, without stretching outside of the meaning written using the words. Virgin birth? Everyone knows that is impossible, yet this is conveniently ignored… it’s all so tiresome. Morality exists outside of fear of being burned alive and chewed on for all eternity by a loving creator, because I didn’t believe in fairytales.
