Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)
I’ve been using kagi for a few months (6 according to my bank). It is paid. It is great. It’s so good I’ve switched my wife to it since Google was giving her a lot of garbage (she’s a non techie) and she says “it feels like Google used to be. The answers are what I was looking for. I forgot I was using Kagi”
That works, until… Until the power goes out because everyone has their AC on maximum. After that, it becomes a fight of who has a bigger generator and more gas stored, or who has solar power for the AC.
Hello, I am a notification. Welcome.
Some of the issues might be on the software side, so it’ll take some time until it can scale to more hardware resources. But yeah, I agree! What scares me more is the monetization path. Servers can become a really expensive.
It was late yesterday and I didn’t realize I made it sound scary! Yes to all you said! The heatsink is a great idea, too.
Please also be mindful. These old devices don’t receive security patches and are going to be connected to the internet. Any exploit or bug and you’ll have a compromised device with local network access and even gps in the hands of bad guys.
There’s also the battery as OP said. It’s better if you take it out, if possible. Do not leave it running on 100% all the time or you’ll have a fire in your house!
I’m sad to hear you did not feel like a good explanation of the fediverse was given. Is there something you’d still want to know? I’m no expert but I’ve been here for a while, so I might be able to help or at least guide you!
Feel free to ask! And if you don’t feel like commenting on here, feel free to DM me with questions too.
Glad to have you around here!
A bit off topic, but isn’t it great? Shows us decentralization is working!
That’s flux, isn’t it?
