Why can't we just have thin-client wallets that can use our own nodes as a read-only source of truth?

I've you haven't heard me rant about this, I'll spare you my whining, and instead you can listen to Linus Torvalds from 2021 instead. I think we should make tarballs great again. I ship my basically everything as tarballs. However they lack the "install" part, which is where something like makeself can come in. I just think it's whack that I can ship binaries for Windows platforms and the CRT is so compatible that it's expected to just work, and does most of the time. More specifically shared libraries. I'm a big fan of the idea of shared libraries, but we just can't trust compat on Linux so we all build giant statically linked apps. Look at every Go and Rust app that ships 3-50mb binaries. Finally don't get me started on containers, HN took it all out of me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzl1B7nB9Kc

It's bittersweet when I update a file that was last updated 3+ years ago. Love because I'm glad to have been working on the same project for over 5 years but upset that I haven't "upgraded" it in 3-5 years XD

Building a digital life/workflow around local-first/offline has it's difficulties, but it's nice that when a big-tech site goes down, my work, my services, and tools were uninterrupted. The way it used to be before it became normal to hand over our tools to big tech. This is especially satisfying if the ISP goes down or with battery backups (or generators) when the power goes out. I was completely oblivious to GitHub being down today but I was getting messages about it. Don't let them take your ability to use YOUR devices on your terms. #selfhost.
