So, all of wikipedia is sitting at about 150GB of storage space. About 45GB of that is just the text. While the media can be licensed differently, the text license allows it all to be redistributed freely as long as attributions are maintained. So if anyone wants to give https://wikifreedia.xyz a massive entry set that can be improved on afterward, it doesn't appear to be that difficult.
Some fun with AI: The Tale of the Magic Internet Money "Gather 'round, little ones," Grandpa said, settling into his hover-chair as his grandchildren sprawled on the quantum-cushions at his feet. "Have I ever told you about the Great Stack, and how our family came to own our precious bitcoin?" "Tell us, Grandpa!" Sarah bounced excitedly. "Mom says you were stacking even before the Nations' Race!" "Indeed I was, sweetheart. It was back in '21, just after the First Peak, when most people thought the magic internet money was finished. I remember watching the price fall and fall, while everyone around me said it was dead – for the 500th time," he chuckled, stroking his beard. "That's when you started buying, right Grandpa?" Tommy asked, his eyes bright with anticipation. "Every single paycheck, I put something aside. Lived in a tiny apartment, sold my car, rode my bicycle everywhere. Your grandmother thought I was absolutely mad, but she supported me anyway. For almost four years, I slowly gathered more and more satoshis…" "Like collecting precious stones?" Sarah interjected. "Exactly like that, dear. But then came the real challenge. It was early '25 when the rumors started. First one nation, then another, began openly buying bitcoin. The price... well, it did things that made even my strong hands shake." "That's when you almost gave up?" Tommy asked, remembering this part from previous tellings. "Give up? Oh no, quite the opposite. I knew I was so close to my goal of one whole coin. But that last portion..." Grandpa's eyes grew distant. "I sold everything that wasn't absolutely essential. Worked three jobs. Your grandmother even sold her grandmother's antique jewelry. We knew what was coming, you see. We could feel it in our bones." "And you made it just in time!" the children chorused together. "Just in time indeed," Grandpa smiled. "Two months before the Nations' Race went into full swing. Now, who wants to hear about the day I finally moved our coin to cold storage, and your grandmother…" "...nearly fainted when you showed her the wallet!" the children finished, giggling. "Some sacrifices," Grandpa said softly, "look crazy in the moment, but turn out to be the wisest decisions of all. Now, about that day…" The children snuggled closer as Grandpa began the next part of their favorite tale, the soft hum of the hover-chair mixing with his warm voice in the cozy evening light.
I heard that @OpenSats has apparently been suffering a time crunch for examining grant applicants. This has me wondering whether the financial distribution tech that Nostrocket has been building might be a suitable means of enabling grant orgs and expanding such operarions. If existing grant orgs with solid reputation were to approve up and coming orgs, then conceivably donations could be sent to a single source, then distributed to a scalable grant infrastructure. The tech is there, so mostly this would be a change in practice.
Given that Trump recently announced that only platforms with high levels of neutrality will have Section 230 protection, there is a non-zero chance that Youtube gets sued into oblivion in the near future, and a better chance that creators will be shopping for video diversification. Flare, zap.stream, etc have the chance to take major leaps in territory here.
