In an ideal scenario for sure, but in implementation you're going to run into issues like network throughput and resource access distribution optimization (i.e. feynman parallarity). I got out of the house without a whiteboard or a single grad student (you just never remember the important things) so I can't confirm more than napkin math, but you may indeed be right that it's at worst quadratic.

Ah, I was misremembering an aspect - though the requirement is still there that as users join the storage* requirements will increase in the worst case exponentially, it's not inherent to the ideal system, rather it's a byproduct of cacheing requirements. At a certain point there will be enough users that popular content being accessed will overwhelm the instance hosting it - this is somewhat fixed by caching popular videos on other instances, but as the network of instances grows the need for cached resources grows with it. There may be ways to get around this, if so I'm simply not familiar enough with the current state of the software to know what those solutions are.

It's more that (as I understand it) the storage requirements increase exponentially relative to the number of users.

It's a problem regardless of what OS it happens to. I've personally/professionally found it much more frequent that an update breaks something on linux vs. windows, but it's also much easier to fix those issues & they're rarely the kind of critical failure you get with a M$ OS.

(and if you truly crave stability, Debian is always happy to welcome you back into it's big soft embrace)

Unfortunately Peertube is going to be... very difficult to scale.

(Trivia: on windows, alt+0153 will give you the ™ symbol - it's ctrl+shift+u+[some hex string I can't remember] on linux! If you're on mobile, godspeed.)

Guessing you mean:

During these festivities, there was a temporary release from social obligations and hierarchies to make way for the overthrow of order, joking and debauchery.

?

Which is... yeah, the whole origins of "trick-or-treat". Not sure it quite needs rediscovering.

ALRIGHT THAT'S THE CORRECT WAY TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, LETS FUCKING GO.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to secretly pay leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups for inside information, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

Dear god, they were using money to get racist assholes to betray eachother? Those absolute swine, how dare they do something both common and effective. Bastards. Clearly, the crime was so great as to cause the Trump administration to instantly become credible and, in this one legal act, Donald "The Big Cheese" Trump has united left and right together against their true enemy: An advocacy group for brown people!

... wait no hang on, that's stupid.

(Microsoft bullshit survival tip: You can start a new instance of Excel by right clicking it's icon and, while holding alt the whole time, selecting something to open ("New workbook" or w/e shows up on the right click menu this week...). This separates the action history, so ctrl+z no longer jumps between workbooks.)

... I'm sorry, let me try rephrasing that:

The point isn't "to put flock out of business", thats a good goal but kinda long-term for right now. The short-term goal is to "take out the cameras they're using to hunt our friends."
