I would LOVE to see an alternate video platform so I just looked at Rumble and yikes, man. It's like youtube with all the good bits taken away. I'd genuinely rather see Proton create their own video hosting and monetization service than dive into that mess. I mean on the one hand yay for posting actual accurate content that might be helpful into the darkness of conspiracy central, but on the other hand you're basically posting into conspiracy central where "I got banned from other platforms" is a MAJOR percentage of their content creation. Like yeah, other platforms are not ideal but there's a big, big chunk of people who bring their own problems with them wherever they go on there, and your comments section is gonna reflect that.

Distributed Data Center Infrastructure could be a huge risk mitigator for outages, but comes with challenges. Things to solve:
1) can you just recirculate water to do cooling or do you need to tap into the home water supply?
2) split for costs of power and water used? Would you directly pay for power or would you reimburse the homeowner for costs?
3) Access for outages - there's probably all sorts of challenges when you're talking about accessing your property on a leased bit of land, including "Digging this up will mean the homeowner loses access for a day or so". You would want to have a speedy install and removal process ready to go before deployment. Similarly, if something went wrong, a fast replacement so you can troubleshoot elsewhere might be better than on site troubleshooting.Access control to the data centers - what if someone got physical access? Well, one, it's buried under a driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot. That would make it tough to get into - you're talking about digging through someone's infrastructure to access the sealed, containerized data center. Slap a couple tamper evident alarms on the container and hook them into the telecom you're using for data, and you're probably fine. Someone tries to access without your explicit approval, just run a remote wipe on it. No data would be lost because you're doing distributed data storage.
Pretty much everything could be handled similarly - power outage in one place? No worries, the data's also located in three or four other places, you send a notification "we will be a bit slow due to power outages in x locations" to users and reroute.
I could perhaps be persuaded to worry about power outage + tampering happening when comms are offline, if I were paranoid. Maybe power outages trigger a remote wipe automatically and restoral requires a tamper check to be met before the unit will process data again. A lot of the power outage woes could be mitigated by restricting these to homes with a backup generator on them.This limits who could get your driveway data center, but there's still a LOT of homes which would qualify - enough in the northeast US to stand up thousands of mini dc's in every small town surrounding the major cities.

Ok this has fascinating use cases AND I have an addendum: the ability to insert sections of document A into Document B as either a static one time placement or as a live link which will update as the other doc updates.

If offered it should absolutely be optional, not default, and should be OFF by default. One thing I feel very strongly about is ensuring that all privacy-concerning features should be off by default, and require an action on the part of the owner to turn them on, and if then turned off again later ALL associated data should go poof and be stored nowhere at all.

Yes please, seconding this motion. The current options are difficult and weird.
