If we have to use crypto (which I don’t really see a reason for to be perfectly honest), then I’d much rather seean privacy coin like Monero being used.

Just because it bugs me to no end: thats the original purpose of a VPN, not some privacy snakeoil. That being said most host-discovery doesn’t work reliably, or is not implemented by most programs.

I am split here. I dont expect anyone to know the manages by heart, but at least doing a quick search should be possible. If that obviously wasn’t done I’m fine with referring people to the friendly manual.

I really don’t see a reason to write more just to summarise what has already been written. Is that toxic though? I don’t think so. If someone then says that they don’t understand what that reference means, I’ll gladly explain how manpages work and how to search for info. Teach a man to fish and stuff.

Yes, even if the group is racist bigots, warlords, or plain malicious idiots, those are still covered under “any group”. And I would argue that that is a good thing. Not that these groups exist, but that there are no exceptions one might use to create trouble for users.

Seeing how the nouveau-right loves playing their victim card, that will just be gasoline for their hate-engine.

Since a definition is descriptive, not prescriptive, I think it’s paramount.

I suppose it depends on how exactly you define a blockchain. If you add distributed consensus algorithms and a requirement for BFT resistance, then it clearly isnt. Its the usual issue with definition…

I would beg to differ. It seems to be pretty useful for Software development. After all git repos are Blockchains. That being said: use a solution that fits your problem, don’t try to adapt a problen to your solution. Thats something a lot of the crypto- or AI-bros are apparently misunderstanding

If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn’t use crypto, imho.

Dear Debian users: please also update your Debian version, not just your packages. Like… once a decade would be an improvement for many poor servers.

I want it to last. At least 5 years.

That is something that would be very hard to legislate. Especially since battery lifetime is dependent on a variety of external factors (charging-style, temperature of the device, luck). Build quality certainly also factors in, but even the best battery won’t survive a 10 year old regularly overheating their phones with games and charges it for the entire night. I would love to see OEMs implement nice things like “capacity settings”, where you can set your device to stop charging at 80% and show it as 100%.
