Compilers were much less complex back then and didn’t do a great deal of optimisation. Also hardware was slow, so your compiled code, which wasn’t necessarily optimal either before or after the compilation phase, was at least half as fast as you wanted it to be.

If you wanted speed, you hand-rolled assembly.

Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent of YouTube, the Fediverse being what Lemmy (where you are), Kbin (where I am) etc. are also a part of.

As far as I’m aware, it’s a matter of finding an instance you resonate with, create an account and share away.

Do bear in mind that since it’s the Fediverse, Peertube instances aren’t usually backed by a large organisation with bags of cash, so if you can afford to donate to your instance, at least consider doing so.

I’d also recommend not using Peertube as a be-all-end-all storage for your videos. Always keep a copy for yourself. People do this with YouTube and they shouldn’t unless they’re OK with suddenly and forever losing that content at some unspecified future date. The same can happen with PeerTube, but the reasons are likely to be different (instance closing rather than unexpected account deletion).

Corporation-backed video hosts include: Twitch, Dailymotion and Vimeo. You could probably also host on Facebook. While these are options, they might make you feel as unclean as I did typing that out.

It’s not yawn, but not because it’s great. It’s because it’ll be around for just long enough that it will create reliance on it, ruin many things, and then those people who have become reliant will find themselves in the position of having to unruin the many ruined things without the crutch to help them.

Or maybe I’m being the next iteration of the schoolteacher or parent who said that you won’t have a calculator in your pocket all the time.

But then, a calculator doesn’t need a terabyte of RAM. We’re a ways off that being consumer-affordable as yet. If past consumer RAM size trends are anything (and the only thing) to go by, a portable LLM would be a 2040s or 2050s expectation.

Assuming that you’d be allowed to have the terabyte of data for nothing, anyway. Exorbitant subscription models are likely to be the norm by then.

Put something in robots.txt that isn’t supposed to be hit and is hard to hit by non-robots. Log and ban all IPs that hit it.

Imperfect, but can’t think of a better solution.
