I guess we all need double-checking on this as it's too easy to buy new / rent / upgrade stuff nowadays.

A few bucks / euros and you get double the ram on your server - and then expect more and more etc.... then constant bottle-necking... upgrade trees...

how out of control that can get is a real threat to the ever-essential decision making. (which is now perhaps about keeping it small or making every single ping count when it's as mass)

Keeping it small / simple / giving back in many more direct educational aspects, not just watching vids for example but the hard long road of interaction of p2p on many levels) because all is under threat from the having the luxury of renting the tech for others (USA / Amazon S3 AWS backbones) while people sit back and think it's ok... and more importantly without the rewards /conversion/progress of humanity, of their mind a bit more. Overall the risk is not some of those things while even perhaps just increasing more of the same habits instead.

I support what you do and encourage a few chats (with anyone) just to make sure of those choices that your users are possibly less-educated about regularly check in with someone from external view so you too don't get lost in the matrices...

I'm here anyway...
