That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

Should also take a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/voice_remote_local_assistant/

It wasn’t child porn then, and it isn’t now. Taking a screengrab doesn’t somehow transform it?

What video adapter is in there?

Have you tried dmesg over SSH? Sometimes you can get an extra message or two if the display freezes before the entire kernel does.

Sure, maybe you don’t need to put your sexual identity in a post asking for help configuring nginx, but in an introductory post where you’re explicitly describing yourself… Yeah, I think you should be allowed to mention your sexuality.

What advantage does it have over nspawn?

I’ve been playing with systemd-nspawn for my containers recently, and I’ve been enjoying it!

If lovense/wevibe toys are any indication, no, a Bluetooth tracker inside you definitely wouldn’t work.

Ironic that one of the biggest complaints about AI these days is that it’s stealing from artists, and the OP couldn’t even follow the CC-BY-NC license that xkcd is released under…

The fact that scams persist on blockchain is an unfortunate side effect of the whole uncensorable thing…

How does it compare to keycloak?

I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.

Let me preface this by saying I’m pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.

Well today I learned!

A penny saved is still a penny saved. I’m not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.

Depends on how much traffic you’re talking about. Encrypting/decrypting isn’t free.

One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.

You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.

Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO
