around with this alternate, semantically rich, realization of a versioned-nodes-like-thing. i haven&#39;t really figured out what i think of it. basic idea is that each node holds an arbitrary amount

&#34;access-modify-commit&#34; style api. <br/> <br/>there&#39;s a lot i like about it: abstracting the text storage representation gives me hope of someday escaping unicode :) applications/libraries need not concern themselves about segmenting nodes properly. blobs may not be necessary anymore‽ <br/> <br/>on the other hand… it makes for a complicated node service. like it&#39;s potentially doing

you can probably get those 30 households without crossing a street. maybe 500 meters of fiber. you probably have multiple options for transport, and maybe even an internet exchange in your city. from my perspective out here, that sounds luxurious. 2025-06-15T12:19:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2v3rr9ag6xr46wvpkxysqt56rzgp93mt77ujp3r4p5p23xm7aefqzyr7jjkww8aeurd5w9t3usk09jx028hew5jhwgqa6d0ymcxvweqw0w0y7ruk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvzvk49e670tdq7c79l057jq9wnteuu2p355rqxf6tr9q50sa2sqsuatt78'>nevent1q…tt78</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>At this point I&#39;m just thinking to actually run grid power over to the rack like I&#39;ve been meaning to do for years.

XGPON makes that 10Gb/2.5Gb. you can&#39;t offer other services over those fibers (without engineering that&#39;s more expensive than running new fiber). <br/> <br/>if you divide by fiber there&#39;s obviously no shared channel - you can offer whatever service you want without affecting anyone else. it&#39;s future-proof - at least to multiple Tb. it&#39;s also flexible, you have a request for a 40Gb circuit in a weird place? can do. they need dark fiber to somewhere? sure. <br/> <br/>that said, you can probably pivot fiber laid for GPON to divide by wavelength instead of by time. with the right equipment you&#39;d be able to give everyone their own 25Gb symmetrical connection, maybe multiple for some people. 2025-02-05T02:44:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyf7f0xt0tkmjxngqy9dcljc72m9sxlmcen3xs3thkf66rn6jt2eszyr7jjkww8aeurd5w9t3usk09jx028hew5jhwgqa6d0ymcxvweqw0wlvm6ld In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvu5pztjppz0mwd096x3rf0htdj4kqzmfslrqja4vrqj6x92drl0qhx5rw9'>nevent1q…5rw9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>GPON is asymmetric at the physical layer.
