The word "bitcoiner" is as pejorative as "youtuber": someone who turned the means into a goal of its own, sacrificing the quality of what it was initially used for.

I think RC4 is being treated unfairly. If I post a gigabyte-large file and the only thing you know about it is that it's been encrypted with RC4-drop777, will you be able to crack it?

Those who sell copies of software should accept copies of money.

Hmm. Companies tend to react to any security flaws found in their billing much quicker when they are not just reselling flatrate-bought services.

Any cryptocurrency is just a tool. I might argue on whether or not it's just a payment tool, but it's a tool anyway. Beware of those who keep saying it's anything more than that. Because that's a big lie. No tool is ever going to change the human nature.

Segfault's shells are extremely nice SSH jumphosts. But, unfortunately, they can't into IPv6. So I have to use a double jumphost at the moment. If Segfault can add IPv6 support, I can even pay them but this process is non-automated and requires Telegram. No way. Are there any other free shell services like them but with IPv6 out of the box? #asknostr

Casio fx-3400P. A solar-powered programmable scientific calculator. Yes, you can take the battery out and it will run completely on the solar cell. Even without it, the battery is projected to last for up to 7 years. It has some dozen microwatt energy consumption. It was manufactured _before_ 1989 (probably 1988 or even 1987) and still works perfectly fine despite how thin and fragile the PCB is inside. A friend of mine gave it to me in exchange for some other interesting calcs. He bought it at a flea market for under a dollar or so. Still in a mint condition in the stock holster. This is how pre-consumerism era electronics looked like. 35 years, 1 battery change, still rocks.

No, I'm not living in the past with all my fountain pens, keypad phones, pocket calculators and slide rules, cassette and CD players, longwave-enabled and mechanical wristwatches and dreams of bringing back POCSAG and NMT. I'm living in a very probable future that will come when the bubble bursts.

L2 "solutions" are never the answer to the problems rooted in L1. They are merely crutches. And crutches tend to break over time.
