Yeah, good luck with that. The Facebook bots are so bad, they literally hammer sites into the ground, to the point where they're actively being blocked.

Where is this "community" you speak of?

I was recently introduced to a Microsoft focused Managed Service Provider who told me to my face that they absolutely adopted it in their business to "help run it".

After that I stopped listening to anything they had to say.

Microsoft has very deep tentacles all over the Australian Government, even more after they donated some money for a random new initiative which does nothing for society and in my opinion absolutely benefits the Microsoft bottom line.

We've had "Cash for Comments", this is "Government Bought and Paid For"...

I did originally write that in my post, but deleted it because I asked myself, "What's the alternative?"

And so the world of WordPress comes to an inglorious ending ...

AI does not mean Artificial Intelligence, it means Assumed Intelligence.

Well AWS ACM already automates this, so if the renewal period gets shortened, I'm guessing that this will be updated to suit, unless I'm misunderstanding your point.

I hadn't considered the CPU load, but that's a fair point. I'm guessing that a suitable piece of code will utilise specialised hardware, or perhaps leverage the GPU or just in time SSL certificates will become a thing.

I'm not familiar with either, but Duck Duck Go suggests:

I'm sorry, but has no-one heard of https://letsencrypt.org that issues certificates via API for free?

I would not be surprised if certificates at some point will be issued for each session.

You don't need anything as elaborate as you appear to be contemplating.

Insert a large capacity microSD card into your mobile phone and load it up with media.

Share as required.

Not sure if the Linux NTFS driver supports read-write access. If it does, you should be able to remount it as rw. If not, there are rescue disks around that do have rw NTFS support.

You could just delete the entire partition and recreate it. You'd need to unmount it before you do.

Boot from a livecd and figure out what is going on.
