No, most of azure Is linux, it's also the default configuration of most compute resources, like every other cloud provider.
Linux is simply superiore on the server, less crashes, less resources wasted, easier to configure.

Also loonix is better documented and there are way more investments going into loonix server than Windows server will ever recieve.

The only reason to use windows server is if you have legacy shit written in .net 4.8 < other than that is not very common nowdays, it's slowly disappearing even from enterprise.

Know that at least the first 3 are still in development and all microblogging stuff is interoperable thankfully - one thing Fediverse stuff got right

>>101439244
One major issue that is frustrating about the fediverse is the amount of "defederation" that happens that affects users. Frankly, there should be NO technical 'defederation'/ban/block tier higher than
>Content from banned servers never shows up on your server in any of its public feeds, universe etc. However, your users can personally seek out or interact with users or content from those servers privately if they so choose (ie T3 block/defederation on Mastodon and other projects).
instead of the option for
>As above, but also users cannot interact with any users or content from "bad" servers as defined by the admin of their server (T4 block/defederation)
There's no real use case for the above and it fucks with interoperability, treats users like children, and otherwise is shitty. This is made even worse with the sort of preemptive blocklist and guilt by association garbage that some admins got into - one look at Fediblock and its successors proved that the rationale for many of those servers was completely asinine. I remember a couple offhand including
>One of the largest Japanese Mastodon servers and at the time, top 5-10 in general, either mstdn dot jp or pawoo dot net , was put on the meany bad nazi list because some random user posted some historical nazi era pic of a rally or building or something with no text, trannyadmin writes to JP server admin in english to demand they take it down, it was still up 3 weeks later (and had no replies, discussion, retweet etc), so they got added to the EVIL FASCIST BLOCKLIST ALSO PROBABLY LOLI BECAUSE JAPAN HURRR

I should mention that you can get around this shit with relative ease by simply having accounts on multiple servers, but you shouldn't HAVE to do that. Replacing major profiteering centralized, engagement driven proprietary social media with decentralized FOSS projects is a major form of harm reduction; the genie isn't going back in the bottle and all the newfags and phonefags and zoomers who grew up with social media aren't likely to give it up en masse and go back to forums, messengers, chat, RSS etc. So we need less shit alternatives and it seemed like a lot of Fediverse types saw the potential, especially as Twitter began to repeatedly shit the bed even before the Musk transition. However projects that had this kind of shit meant not an interoperable network, but various walled communities, completely compromising a core benefit of the project. . It CAN be beaten by having enough admins of communities that don't censor get large enough that the ones who do basically get squeezed out by the adults in the room, but we're a long way from that . Fuck any admins who engage in ideological preemptive blocking of instances on tenuous grounds, affecting all the users on both instances.

it's true that kotlin dies with jetbrain and android, though, but like.. that's not really an issue, languages are like that all the time. Rust would have died w/o mozilla, go would die w/o google, etc...
kotlin as a multiplatform language is not just java but better. the jetbrain backing is not just hot air either; the multiplatform side is super good, compose is great, the actual/expect mechanic is very useful.

It should've (and could've) just been done on-chain.
They crippled it deliberately to prevent it from becoming a competitor to banking.
The excuse was that the network couldn't handle more than 1MB blocks (ironic, given that Youtube, Netflix, etc, are far more bandwidth heavy - and that's just at the consumer level).

>You're basically working with IOU's at the stage.

>>101439642
>The excuse was that the network couldn't handle more than 1MB blocks
No, that's not how it works, the network can handle even 10 times that.
It's not an excuse, it's how the BTC blockchain fundamentally work.
Each block can only contain 1MB of informations (transaction data + hash) but each block is generated on average every 10 minutes.
This is hard coded into the BTC algorithm and it cannot be circumvented without changing its algorithm (which will require every miner to update their software). The real reason behind this hard cap is currently unknown but it is speculated that it was made in order to limit how much the blockchain could increase in size over time.

Think about it this way: since 2008 every 10 minutes 1MB is added to the blockchain, every miner who want to mine BTC need to access the whole blockchain in order to create new blocks. If the block was just 1MB more, nowadays the blockchain would have been twice in size (currently is 586GB).

I was active in BTC development at the time (2015-2017).
>This is hard coded into the BTC algorithm and it cannot be circumvented without changing its algorithm
This is literally a one liner in code. It was put in place after BTC's release to prevent spamming the chain. Satoshi's intent was to always increase it as needed. In 2017, it was obvious the increase was needed (and Segwit2x was meant to be the compromise).
>nowadays the blockchain would have been twice in size (currently is 586GB).
You do not need the entire blockchain to run a node or mine Bitcoin. You only need the UTXO set.
Put simply, you cannot spend from an account that has no money in it.
If someone tries to spend a coin that does not exist in the UTXO set, the transaction is invalid.
Additionally, with UTXO commitments, you wouldn't even have to download the chain to run a node or mine.
You could just download the UTXO set (which would be cryptographically proven to be of a set state).
>The real reason behind this hard cap is currently unknown
You've been completely duped as to why BTC didn't scale. There were no technical merits for it. It was entirely political.
