The notion that every street in a city grid must be open to cars is just absurd to me. Its such an extreme position to take that no less than 100% of roads be allowed for cars. What we really need are pedestrian only corridors where one can travel on foot and not be constantly dodging traffic. Theme parks manage this and their entire business is to extract revenue from a captured audience. If it was bad for business we wouldn’t have spaces predicated on this model. #Urbanism
Another question regarding the Fediverse: "Would politicians, press, higher learning, celebrities actually ever be bothered to self-host an instance and pay someone to maintain it?"
Again, Automattic answers that question.
What do all those institutions use for their websites? Self-hosted WordPress sites.
Who runs it? Someone they pay.
Self-hosting and maintenance can not only be normalized -- people would probably be happy to do it.

@aaronpk Nice! What language are you learning? Italian, and 59 days for me!
@aaronpk so glad to see you on Mastodon and talk about it on your YouTube channel! Big fan of your content.
@aaronpk @metawops https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer This is what we are using. It’s based on the same nginx modules but everything works via the web interface after docker compose up. Just love it as it helps saving money for multistreaming.
