When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

HackerOne, in my experience, is a wasteland of shit that will sometimes reveal legitimate issues. To get to those issues, you have to accept the trash. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/05/open-source-project-curl-is-sick-of-users-submitting-ai-slop-vulnerabilities/

It’s like everyone ignored this paper that came out in August of last year. https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/06/reddit-will-tighten-verification-to-keep-out-human-like-ai-bots/ https://arxiv.org/html/2408.07892v1

Interesting to think about digital music and streaming and compare it to the stated goals of web3. Streaming was supposed to cut out the middlemen, but instead it created a new revenue source for the middlemen who took control. Signs already pointing to the same being true for crypto/web3.

Great account of David Bowie’s experimentation with digital music, streaming, and trying to cut out the record labels. https://cybercultural.com/p/online-music-distribution-1996/

Of the customers signing up to Orbiter, the most common named previous hosting provider is Vercel. This is not surprising. We started Orbiter in direct response to our own frustration with Vercel and Next.js.

Uber is a publicly traded company. This is not a startup and it hasn’t been for a long time. This type of statement reeks of tech bro bullshit.

I don’t think enough people are paying attention to quantum computing research. Maybe because they think it’s nowhere close? When it happens, it will bring a shift like the computer revolution, the internet revolution, and the current AI wave all rolled into one. https://www.fastcompany.com/91329302/cisco-quantum-computing-new-entanglement-chip-timeline

In 2020, I actually played a lot of Fortnite on an iPad so that I could play with my kids and wife (they used the gaming consoles in the house). I was blown away by the experience. Epic did such a good job bringing a pc/console game to mobile and making it competitive. I don’t play anymore but I’m looking forward to it coming back.
