I want libraries to be the *actual* data centers that they could be.
- Local email/digital services
- Allowing people to back up their lives in an encrypted way
- More equipment loan programs
- Municipal cell services and setup
Make the library replace Big Tech

Ok if we're in dream big mode, I really want to see progressive candidates talking about the importance of digital public infrastructure for democracy. Tell me about your plans for funding R&D on healthier information environments. Urbanism but applied to digital spaces. ATProto Mamdani

provisioning a server with several tightly integrated vms using nixos, microvm-nix, and agenix, where all the vm configuration is included in a single system config. I seriously can't imagine how painful this would be without nixos

this is something that I've been struggling with – there are now a half-dozen new CAD kernels in Rust, all with the same perfectly polished websites and bold claims about performance, test coverage, and quality
