if we were living in a simulation, what would that change for you?

assuming we’re not in a simulation, we already can’t prove anyone but ourself is conscious, and even that’s a stretch

How can I check the viability without building the software or hardware?

1. see if the thing already exists

• if it does and is successful, great, viable idea. now figure out how the existing thing sucks (see 2)
• if not, great, maybe an untapped niche

2. figure out who the intended users are and talk to them. what do they want? what do they hate?

• filter through a fine mesh of common sense, pragmatism and cynicism

3. build a basic version that adresses some subset of identified needs (and that users hate less), get feedback, iterate

it helps when you are an intended user since that’s a tighter feedback loop

that error is coming from I2P, not nginx

so good news? your nginx configuration is probably fine

bad news? I know fuck all about I2P. assuming you’re intending to reach the “router console”, you could probably follow the suggested configuration change in the error message to Do That Thing

assuming this is on lemmy, if a user is causing that much disruption amd harassing people you could message the admin(s) of the user’s instance explaining the situation, provide evidence, and hope they’ll ban the user

if the user is banned and creates another account, repeat

if the user is on an instance that won’t ban them, contact the admins of other instances to try to have that instance deferated
