yes, like when you google:
"Oslo traffic deaths"

pretty cool stuff.

you'd have to encrypt your messages, and manage who has the keys for it to be private.

If you do that / fall for that, then you’re part of the problem making such a future a reality…

Lots of peoples' buying habits and trust-based attitudes were forged last century.
It'll take a generation or two for new habits to form.

In the meanwhile modern businesses will make hay by selling trojan-horses to old school customers , and using the profits to tie-in new users to new services to try to capture/brainwash the next gen into thinking there is no choice.

I think you'll remain in the minority unless 'ignorant' consumers who 'fall for that' can become educated and learn about the options.

yeah, glulam is probably a non-starter too if there's no height available.
I think you can do triple flitch.

So like : [w]|[w]|[w]
maybe that'd work with 3 2x6s , 2 steels, all boted together.

22 ft unsupported seems like a very long span to me, what's that nearly 7 metres?
Sounds like it's getting into the realm of structural enginneering not diy for me.

If you want to save costs you might think aout a "flitch beam", that's 2 wood beams with a steel plate sandwiched in between - the three components are bolted together every few feet. Easier to join to the timbers then.

I still think you might be more like 10"x2 or even 12"x2 timbers to cover that span if totally unsupported. But might still come in a little cheaper than the i-beam.
Maybe the roof will be very lightweight and no snow weight is expected - but I'm no structural engineer so don't take my word for it.

Other features like corner bracing or canti-leverage, or some other support structure or other feature (like is it the bottom side of a framed gable triangle) might also help.

LVLmight not be suitable, but i think you can get treated "glulam" beams suitable for exterior (covered) use.

really useless lame experiment

on wayland vs Xorg.
i've found a few things that demand it (e.g. Waydroid - an android emulator)

So I've started using KDE plasma recently (previously I was XFCE due to speed and lightweightness).

KDE plasma gives a choice of wayland or xorg on the gui login screen,

Assuming the K in kinote stands for KDE plasma, becuase that's how these things go - then you should be abe to choose - so you don't need worry about wayland, just log back in and pick the one you need, or the one that works for the task at hand.

It's a donation so you're never going to have perfect pricing everything down to the nearest penny or remunerating each person-hour worked. I think It's about something rough and ready that is better than nothing. And it's all goverened by morality anyway . . .
so doomed to failure on that side.

Buy hypothetically a simple principle with reasonable administration cost, like each 3 months, each node shoud add up all donations, slice off 25-50% , split it equally among their top 5 or 10 most important dependencies - just guess, and maybe swap from quarter to quarter if if there's doubt. There's some wiggle room there for small projects to do less and large over funded projects to do more.

Each node in the network could follow a simple rule like that, making a limited number of transactions each time period ,and you'd probably end up with quite a complex outcome after a few iterations (years).

The real trick would be having enough nodes in the network that actually enact such a simple rule. (Apart from having enough donations flow in to the consumer level projects of course).
But enough nodes and enough inflow and the fractal would work for you - roughly.

THe speed is an issue, the more often you settle up then quicker people see money, but the more the admin cost.
But even doing it quaterly is not slower than doing nothing.

Such a model is not something anyone will be securing bank loans off though, so if that's the point then you probably need a paid licensing / service model of some sourt maybe Canonical and redhat.

Someone tried "April & Bob" once, but MS excel converted it to date.

When I buy a turnip from the grocery store I don't have to pay the farmer directly.

If I donate to debian, that I depend on , then debian (morally) should disburse some of that donation to the linux kernel that debian depends on.

Is it something to do with modding-community?

If that generates a load of free cool stuff people may play more for longer.

The main IP rights owner probably doesn't really want this, they want to develop and sell a new game or expansion.
