Basically you can mirror the instapapered versions of your saved pages as markdown files in your obsidian vault. You can customize the whole thing basically so you can put it wherever and have it tie in to your PKM system however you want. I've got mine organized in weekly folders with a dataview block in my daily note showing the articles I've saved that day.

I'm just curious as to how you think these are insurmountable problems while every instance in existence today is already managing to navigate these issues.

The only thing the author is suggesting is to pool the resources that are going to waste copying media posts around the fediverse into a new backend (that means it's not directly user accessible and presumably subject to the same restrictions as posts right now) so that the cost of media hosting is more distributed between all the fediverse instances instead of having the big ones hogging all the bandwidth of the small ones with memes because some users decided to subscribe to a community on say Lemmy.world.

Did you even read the article? It's not like all the users just get unrestricted access to storage to treat like a google drive, this is a backend thing. This guy is trying to find a solution to all the wasted bandwidth and storage space from sending copies to all the other instances they're federated with, which is a legimate issue that the instance admins are already dealing with on a daily basis. This will let them pool resources to help lower costs for smaller instances.

As to the CSAM thing I can only imagine it would be easier for one instance to purge fifty images/restore from a backup and everyone else just have to redo their thumbnails as opposed to all the instances having to purge and restore but that's just me.

Literally just set one up yesterday on neocities, it was surprisingly easy. Of course then I managed to break it because I'm not as familiar with git as I'd like to be lol.

I would also like to know this, best I could come up with was one of those electric water cooler pumps that fit over the top of the bottle.

Well of course not, ever since they got that deal with Uncle Sam they knew they could do anything up to Steve Ballmer kicking a secret service agent in the nuts and stealing the Football. Maybe even including that, won't know until it happens lol.

"Why aren't we making more money?!?" Cries Phil Spencer while wringing the neck of yet another golden goose.

Have you tried going into the setting for the feed itself and using the CSS selector filters? You might be able to cut out the extraneous bits using that.
