It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!

Is the average life expectancy really 76? That’s lower than I expected
ARM I guess, or increasingly RISC-V
Getting a 503 with Tor. For others with the same problem, here’s an archive.org snapshot.
I couldn’t find anything about what concrete technology they are looking at. Judging by the dates, it could potentially be GNU Taler! The dates coincide with the NGI Taler project: https://taler.net/en/news/2024-02.html
Thanks, clarified my comment!
As written in my other comment, “cash but digital” is a valid use case imo. It’s just most cryptocurrencies are terrible for that.
XMR/Monero is the best one I’ve seen, but GNU Taler has the potential to do that without the ecological harm. I hope it comes soon™
Agree in general, but I just learned that the word “idiot” is considered ableist language. I was unaware of it’s historic meaning/roots, so this surprised me too.
Some people are desperate for economic or social reasons. That maybe doesn’t give them the same status as other scam victims, but I’ve seen smart and educated people fall for this gambling.
Awwww I wrote my essay and here I come back to your comment saying everything better in one tenth of my words.
My most positive but realistic prediction: Bitcoin is gonna stay around as a pump-and-dump scheme to make the rich richer. Other cryptocurrencies will slowly fade away including (as one of the latest) ETH. They are not suitable as a currency and are more of a gambling investment opportunity. Per default, most cryptocurrencies are a privacy nightmare, especially Bitcoin.
There are exceptions. XMR is fairly stable in value and is actually really close to what many people want: cash but digital. If GNU Taler takes off, there’s will be a more comfortable option for paying while retaining privacy, making XMR more obscure.
I assume laws and the state will also have an influence, especially with the climate catastrophe questioning the immense amount of energy necessary to run all of this. Even if crypto were more efficient if it replaced fiat, it’s not gonna happen. There’s hard power preventing it. Both at the same time is reckless when there are people dying.
Also money sucks in general so best case scenario it gets thrown onto the trash of history.
inb4 crypto shills: Remember that there are people whose income and investments depend on people believing bitcoin is more than gambling.
Declarative OS, tmpfs root, disabled sudo
How do you change anything about the OS/do updates? iirc nixos requires elevated privileges for that?
With Debian it’s just the apt-tor package, and the project maintains an official list at… onion.debian.org iirc?
I don’t know if serving onion traffic is more expensive for Debian/mirror maintainers so idk if this is something everybody should use
Thanks pictochat
