Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

Even for simple mirroring there’s an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.

as long as your a minor enough criminal for no one with resources to bother tracking you down using the public data on the chain

It’s all the bad idea of regular digital elections, with the additional stupid of being more public, complex and wasteful

Only the NFTs didn’t do anything of the kind, unless backed up by actual legal contracts in which case the NFT was pointless, and you could just have had the legal contracts

The only reason it had a brief flash in the pan was that it was an attractive grift for speculators betting there were greater fools, and when the fools ran out so did the NFTs

The blockchain is always “gonna become crucial” in lots of things, depending on whatever looks popular at the moment, yet it never does because it is obviously a bad idea.

It’s a grift, and if you’re not an active grifter, you are the mark

You get pretty far with just clone, pull, add, commit, push

Python has its drawbacks but it also has a pretty useful standard library so as a language for small scripts, one can do much worse

“giving up against the endless weight of capitalism”

We just call it “having a job” nowadays

It’s like 5 lines of trivial code

Hello World

30 minutes of boilerplate

writing imports

$ cat <<EOF > Hello.java
public class Hello {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println("Hello world!");
  }
}
EOF
$ java Hello.java
Hello world!

ok

We’re quite a few years into “the blockchain will revolutionise the world” now and we still don’t really have anything but bitcoin and scams

I envy your trust in the efficiency of banks

So if we make refusal to vacate a uterus a capital offense, we have a path to compromise

Well, one is a poll, one is a meme with no data source or explanation of what’s been done to get to the possibly not very correct number

Here’s a pew research thing finding about 61% of men supporting abortion in the US in 2024; lagging behind women at 64% but not by much

the in depth technical details

TL;DR; sigalarm handler calls syslog which isn’t safe to call from a signal handler context.

Their example exploit needed about 10k attempts to get a remote shell so it’s not fast or quiet, but a neat find regardless

Yeah, the 20th least polluting country is near 1000x worse than the estimated CO2 footprint in the article

You’re right… The “more than 20 countries” thing, is about 1000x away from the real number too, so I guess they dropped a “kilo” somewhere and somehow didn’t react to getting an obviously absurd result

This is hugely incorrect

… equivalent to 281,315 metric tons of CO2. This is roughly the same quantity of emissions that 75 coal-fired power plants produce in a year, and it exceeds the annual emissions of 20 individual countries and territories.

A single medium sized (1MW) coal power plant outputs about 6.3 million metric tons CO2 per year, so the comparison is three magnitudes off

I wouldn’t trust any other numbers from that site without verification
