“Core Thesis: The target I care about is simple: can you make space-based, commodity compute cost-competitive with the cheapest terrestrial alternative? That's the whole claim. Not "space is big." Not "the sun is huge." Not "launch will be cheap." Can you deliver useful watts and reject the waste heat at a price that beats a boring Crusoe-style tilt-wall datacenter tied into a 200–500 MW substation? If you can't beat that, the rest is just vibes.”

I built smolweb a collection of php scripts to help start building a blog and small shop front.
Features: webring, blog, rss, image resizer, shop
All data is saved and read from csv, json & txt files, no databases.
100% php ensures you can run this on cheap php shared hosting instead of a vps.
