I really like VictoriaMetrics's architecture vmagent takes care of all the pesky edge things like emulating prometheus config parsing and various scraping bits. It also does buffering in case you lose network connection for a while, an

Well it aint working coz more and more people are moving away from farming, and the only way to start is to start big as small size farms are just not profitable.

I mentioned it in other comment but yes, subsidies essentially make it cheap not only to consumers but to processed food companies so they can make good margin on it as raw resources are essentially free compared to price of the product.

> You fix it by making food expensive. I doubt anyone’s too keen to do that. Here is an idea: Move food subsidies from farming industry to people needing it. Now people needing it most can afford non-crappy food. And industry have to car

No offense but that seems like most expensive way to farm it. I mean I get it, you want something that looks nice and works, and not is just an old bucket filled with dirt (which is perfectly fine way to recycle broken bucket, just ugly o

Sure but I don't think current subsidy structure is all that great. It makes food cheap to everything . Not every person , everything . Including corporations making "bad" foods It also subsidizes per area of crop, or volu

It's land efficient. And only land efficient. If we get a lot of cheap energy it might make sense if it would allow to basically free up the land for farming. But as long as land is not "expensive", it's just too expensi

Yeah it's crazy. My late dad's old farm just had basically a big room that had concrete crating above a hole in soil (I believe it was to just keep it cool in the warmer months) and they could be stored from autumn to spring. No A

The making of a potato is subsidized from taxes so it can be sold for "cheap". There is no subsidies for making chips, and it is "a treat" so there is not all that much reason to make it cheap aside from competition

Developed countries have dwindling population (well, at least exclusing immigration). And I think it's safe to assume when other countries catch up similar thing will happen, at the very least to the point of levelling up. Hell even In

Then why they are still getting subsidies ? We're essentially taking a part of the tax, give it to farmers, so instead of paying less tax we pay less for foods, except wasting a ton of it along the way for bureaucracy
