Formulating an exit plan because he just shit his pants

*t-rex has entered the chat*

I mean, you can use other systems besides cryptographic proof-of-work to determine legitimacy of stakeholders of a blockchain. It doesn’t necessarily have to waste power.

That being said, none of the other alternatives are really viable either. Proof-of-stake? So the “richest” people on the chain control all the money? Sounds like we just reinvented the late-stage-capitalism we already have.

And who would the largest nodes on that blockchain be? The banks? Who could say and do whatever they conspired since they command >50% of the computing power and/or value?

The average person isn’t going to build a fucking blockchain node just to keep the deed to their house.

Exactly. These kind of things happen from time to time; hell even big corpo OSes mess up. They said they’d taken time to fix their process to prevent this problem happening again.

If it becomes a pattern I’d become concerned. So far, it was inconvenient.

Yeah, it’s not that it’s not valid for private networks, it’s that 172.16.42.x is common for WiFi Pineapples

The three stages of grief:

1. It can’t be DNS
2. There’s no way it could be DNS
3. It was DNS

That’s right, you know what’s best for everyone and if you just don’t tell the poor children that the option is even a thing, they’ll grow up happy Windows users and have lots of grandchildren for you.

Oh, windows quality? I know you are trolling.

Stubbornness

I understand

No, no clearly don’t.

I don’t think it’s “kinda dumb” to point out the issue all, unless you’re an insufferable twatwaffle like 90% of the fucking STEM community in 2024, who can never be wrong or challenged.

Like, I’d consider myself pretty progressive, maybe even “woke” if that still has any meaning left, and even I might have just used male pronouns because I myself am male;’not for malicious reasons but just because I wasn’t thinking in that moment.

But if I was like “oh yeah, that makes sense, and cool you even did the work of fixing it for me! Merged.” and went about my day, no one would have brigaded me, no one would have posted it all over socials, there wouldn’t be blogs and articles, and I’d probably have a leg to stand on if anyone still wanted to make a big deal.

The way this dude reacted was a self-report. The community was right to push back, even if some people ended up taking it too far.

I’m not familiar with using USB drives, but on any bare-metal system don’t use /dev/sdX but instead use /dev/disk/by-id/<big long disk identifier> in your fstab/cryptab etc. Even if you switch ports/bays, or your devices come up in a weird order after a reboot, config always points to the same physical disk. Way less stuff breaks.

God they’re so expensive now. I bought a 24-port backplane for $37 like 3 years ago and the same one is now $120

Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and talked a bunch of shit about how it belongs to Israel alone etc etc fueling the discontent of both Hamas and Zionists alike

We might not even be in this mess now if it wasn’t for that shit. Motherfucker just lighting fires constantly.

Yeah dumbass, an avowed socialist for years now, been watching the GOP propaganda machine since it was cool to be on Fark for fucks sake and NOW they finally turned my frog gay. Makes perfect sense!

Wake the fuck up you white moderate, your cope will eat us all.

Biden had more than “a bad night” the dude looks like he’s aging out of the ability to stay awake for 90 minutes at a time.

Fuck trump and the GOP for the rest of time but Joe looks like shit dude, and he has for a while. Don’t fucking gaslight me.

Sorry AI, I see grandma’s subtle 6th finger
