Not really.

1. Emission is uncontrollable, which is actually bad as central banks lose control over inflation
2. Crypto can be easily obscured and moved everywhere, which means bad actors could easily convert their crypto to, say, Monero and move it out without raising alarms
3. Deflationary crypto heavily disincentivizes any spending, bringing economy to a halt
4. You can’t reverse crypto transactions, which is often necessary

A question: can you modify the site (edit its content etc.) once it’s published?

Because the uses for a never-changing site are quite limited.

Already on android in .apk

Google Play and F-Droid pending

Lol

Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.

Federated games? Is it like servers talking to each other to show each other on the list, in this case?

yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

Australia has plenty of insolation and most power consumers are packed densely enough not to worry about the upkeep of large grids.

Aside from uranium, we also have a much more plentiful thorium to use as a fission fuel. We definitely are not running out of that. But, thorium power plants can be more expensive, and byproducts of thorium cycle are less valuable, so it’s worth comparing that to running a renewables-based grid again.

Anna’s Archive is the world’s largest collection of pirated books, scientific papers and more. Recently they turned to pirating music as well, starting by dumping 86 million tracks from Spotify.

All of the scraped content is available in the form of BitTorrent shares, so you can always download parts of it and spread them further.

The OP wants a convenient way to access this collection and play music from it.

Nuclear power is non-intermittent and can be used pretty much anywhere. With a push for small-scale reactors, there’s a good chance for smaller places to get their own nuclear power plant, reducing stress on the national grid, and for power plants to be constructed in a much shorter timeframe.

Also, both Russia and China have floating nuclear power plants that can be transported to regions with water access on demand.

Solar and wind are cool, and quite cheap by themselves, but energy storage is a massive and expensive headache and limited placement options mean the grid should be robust enough to accommodate them with minimal power losses.

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.

Backups and High Availability come to mind.

If there’s any other place you’d be allowed to install a second node on, ideally served by another ISP (since we talk about remote access), you can do that. This can be your friends, or family, or someone else you trust.

Just have 2 NAS devices with equal drives in each and let them work in a high availability cluster. This way, you’ll have near 100% uptime and a backup in case something goes wrong.

Sure, that is more expensive, but it gives some peace of mind while keeping control of your data. Additionally, with this configuration you don’t necessarily have to build a RAID array if money is a problem, so some costs can be shaved off (Though it never hurts to still have it if you can afford it)

Made me buy a used 10tb drive recently.

Screw them all, I will have a place for my data and I won’t pay them a dollar for these shenanigans.

Just got massive drives and pushed everything onto them, so my seed to download ratio is 0,21.

Promise to give it all back, though! Already up from 0,19 yesterday, so shouldn’t take too long!

(God bless my VPN for handling it all)

Then in fact you do give back what you take, so, really you’re not a leecher in the first place!

You’re just sharing the data outside the BitTorrent network, and it’s awesome!

There are normally only a few points at which traffic enters the country. Shutting them down will effectively cut you from most of the Internet, and the rest that remains will be fully in the jurisdiction that oppresses you.
