before there was reddit there were message boards and these message boards tended to be pretty small and niche. They would have low thousands of users, if that. I don’t think having low user counts is something to be afraid of - especially for sites run and paid for by volunteers.
who cares?
It’s just to give more control to the carriers. They say it’s a feature for travel but realistically how many people and how many countries does that actually apply to? Some places require ID to buy a SIM card, many places don’t even offer plans travelers would want to use (who wants to pay $80 for 1 month of unlimited data instead of $5 for 1GB for a week?), and there’s also the question of how many travelers are there vs locals? Are the travelers the majority of users? The majority of profit? Why don’t the travelers’ local phone companies have travel plans to gouge the travelers themselves?
Anyway all this is to say this is just carrier lock in, it’s the return of CDMA.
i dont really understand the revenue model here. i also dont understand how there’s going to be enough computational power to do LLM shit for all windows users all the time? this sounds bad for the environment.
are you losing because youre wrong or because someone wants to do something a different way and they have more buy in from the rest of the team?
If it’s the first thing just admit youre wrong and move on. If it’s the second thing either bring the data to show your way is better or just go with the other proposal. Having disagreements drag on for too long is going to make everybody unhappy.

i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.
jesus christ we just had a huge struggle session about this.
i can imagine some kind of LRU cache being reasonably useful for this situation, assuming you have some latency hierarchy. For example if the desktop has an SSD, HDD, and some USB HDDs attached I can imagine you having a smaller cache that keeps more frequently accessed files on the SSD, followed by a bigger one on the internal HDD, and followed again by USB HDDs as the ultimate origin of the data. Or even just have the SSD as cache and everything else is origin. I don’t know if there’s software that would do this kind of thing already though.
You may want to consider zipping files for transfer though, especially if the transfer protocol is creating new tcp connections for every file.
