I can save up for 2 months and have a personal runway of about 1.667 years if I go back to the $100 a month I was getting via donation. If my plans work out the way I want in the next few months, It can make that stretch for far far longer.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1187434207309484033 …

The trouble is that with most Saas offerings; you can start cheap, but you pay out the nose for reliability and durability of your data. The saying "There is no cloud, only some else's computer."https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1173975221520490499 …

🐜 🐻 🦠 🤖 🗝️ @ultimapeEverything I want to do hits limits of saas tooling. I hit airtable's 50k entry limit in an evening. I am literally buying more ram so I can run stuff in Coda w/out browser crashing. It is so frustrating to want to play w/ data while still having the turn around of Saas tools. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1173874966514872321 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

If your startup builds tools where the user is in full control of their data, all of a sudden much of that SaaS restriction goes away. Anyone can spin up a pleroma or mastaodon instance. Anyone can join scuttlebutt. IPFS, DAT, GUN, SpaceMonkey. TL;DR:https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1176867738230259712 …

balajis.comVerified account @balajisThe consequence is that some of the smartest people in the world now have huge economic incentives to create provably private, decentralized, p2p systems. Progress is happening at all levels of the stack. Some have new coins, others smart contracts, still others SaaS services.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

Still my direction. But I'm looking at it like an experienced poker player -> making moves that optimize for all cases. Buying a tool set to build out some projects for my job, but making sure that they'd fit on the back of a hypothetical bike trailer.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1096837954243317760 …

🐜 🐻 🦠 🤖 🗝️ @ultimapeI'm trying to plan out how to become more resilient than I currently am. Intention is to gather a bare minimum to live out of a tent and save up for a bike+bike trailer, and then leverage that for living from a car, and eventually a stealth van with my SO. https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1096834093290082304 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

balajis.comVerified account @balajisVery impressive result by the team of course. But it does make you think: how much more powerful could the browser be if it was a true platform? Extensions are pretty fiddly and don’t feel robust relative to (say) downloadable applications or websites. Maybe an opportunity.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

Yes it would. This is why my next purchase is going to be a device to run a private Pleroma server, one for http://write.as , and hopefully spin up a peertube node down the line. https://wedistribute.org/2019/11/you-can-now-watch-the-activitypub-conf-talks-on-peertube/ …https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1199494416806727681 …

Remember that time I was trying to channel my holiday angst into writing a grant to do real-time Quantified Self scans of biometric readings for N-of-1 trials for alleviating autism symptoms? No? Oh right, thats because it's what I'm doing right now.

I'm at a place in my life where I am able to consider getting my own place to live. Planning to keep this momentum going. I am so thankful to be supported by so many people. Thank you for putting up with my bullshit on here.
