  • It’s my understanding that NFT technology could be used for things like proving copyright ownership;

    Yep. I mean the whole blockchain thing kind of rode on the promise of “trustless contracts” which would be amazing.

    All we got was just overpriced bits though, for the price of the health of our planet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




  • And “imports” do not happen, because there isn’t enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.

    They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.



  • TBH I was in the same boat, and finally went usenet when they rised the prices for all that streaming shit across the board, once again. Took me one afternoon to figure out.

    I’d like to torrent, it’s morally more piratey, as in “if I pirate already, then it should be totally free”, but the usenet experience just is so much cleaner. And now I still pay, but like 30ish € per year and have no headache anymore and basically all the streaming services at my fingertips.



  • why didn’t we have 8 billion people a thousand years ago when we had all the solar, wind, and renewable energy we have now?

    Because…power delivery and storage is also a thing? Like, electricity, and batteries? Which make renewable energy way more accessible. Ever heard of electric cars?

    While cheap energy certainly played a huge role, medicine and other technology play an equal part.

    They also kinda had fossil fuels back then, oil could be found on the surface. Why didn’t have the Romans a billion population, when they could find oil on the surface?


  • I get the same feeling, like, as if three letter agencies from all over the world start targeting your server specifically in 300 ms.

    What happens is, yes, your server is immediately bombarded by ScriptKiddies from all over the world, and if you set up root SSH with hunter2 as password, that thing is taken over immediately. But if you only allow keyfile SSH you’re 98% there already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
