Without a foundation, you have no foundation.

Effectively, China has been acquiring a monopoly on manufacturing, which is an absolute necessity for modern life. We have been acquiring the higher-paid, but less numerous and less critical industries.

Any information given would obviously be for use with another device.

QR code, for example. These are instructions or information about the crash, not links (except the QR code, which would obviously be read by another device).

The only proper response.

Because for the bulk of users, unless they are power users, all they need to know is that things didn’t work.

Things actually useful to have on the BSOD:

• distro-specific instructions for submitting a bug report
• option to reboot
• option to show debug info
• option to show a qr code that submits a bug report
• and, if configured by the distro or system admin, debug info

Come up with a plot you will voice, and a plot you won’t.

For the first, something that would change the whole political or religious landscape of all of the nearby nations/known world.

For the second, something that could actually destroy the planet, and will ultimately interrupt or make meaningless the change in political landscape.

“Find your way in an open world. Leave your mark, and try to withstand the winds of change.”

The key is that both plots happen whether or not the players get involved.

Every session, roll for the advancement of the plots. Make sure things trickle down and impact the players. Subtle early, vicious late.

Whoever downvoted you is nuts.

Interesting how you use “simple” and “mail server” in the same sentence.

Yeah, kinda weird to see it on mildlyinfuriating.

Near death experience?

I do say that with certainty. And I didn’t claim that proof of stake has no environmental impact - it just doesn’t have more impact than, for example, a web server.

If I start a carbon-neutral wing of an oil company, of course it doesn’t make an oil company carbon-neutral. However, that doesn’t impact the real value of other companies that actually are carbon neutral.

Similarly, Ethereum is, by far, not a “green” tech, and their usage of proof of stake can easily and reasonably be called greenwashing if they don’t also severely limit the usage of POW.

Proof of Stake, though, is not a power-hungry tech, period. And it is a means for crypto to become, overall, a nominal energy user. There are other chains out there (cardano, algorand, nano, and many others) that don’t use PoW and that use reasonable amounts of energy.

I appreciate your passion for the environment. But misrepresentation does not help your case, though misrepresentation may help those your fight.

Well said. Solid facts.

Not “especially”, but “specifically” POW. I don’t agree about their worthlessness, but even if I did, it’s POW that’s shitting on the environment, not other systems.

Love the love, hate the hate. It’s a good default.

Think of it like this:

• there’s a syncthing share
• you connect any devices you want to that share
• each device uses a local folder to act as that share
• the devices need to know each other

Then, syncthing sorts it all out. You can move a file into the share on phone1, and it’ll show up on phone2. Move it out of that share on phone2, and it disappears from phone1. Same deal for any other device connected to that share.

You can make this all simpler by using the same name for the share and on all folders:

• A share named Kim-n-Max
• A folder named /storage/emulated/0/shares/Kim-n-Max on Max’s phone
• A folder named /storage/Kim-n-Max on Kim’s phone
• A folder named c:\Users\Max\Kim-n-Max on Max’s computer

…all is pretty clear then.

Mango mail, porkbun, proton mail

Each does a slightly different niche.

Mango is cheap, but limits outbound mail. Porkbun has a good all-around mail service, bit is a little more costly. Proton is very secure, but can be inconvenient for export (though it can be done, it requires purchase of a month of business service to export away from them).

Trillium. Excellent, searchable, tool for interlinked data, plus (decently strong, depending on you) password encryption for tree branches.

Except we do have that power. There’s reasonable national security risk, and your lack of understanding of the dynamics involved doesn’t make them nebulous to others.

In any case, if you don’t like it, vote with your life choices. If it’s not that important, well… …it’s not that important.

You’re thinking of laws in terms of obedience. Law is about agreed-upon structure (sometimes functional, often dysfunctional).

Enforcement is about obedience, and comes up when people don’t go along with the agreed-upon structure. When the structure is made poorly, enforcement has harmful consequences.

Examples:

• food stamps (law)
• no stealing (law)
• preventing theft or multiple-subscription to food stamps (enforcement)
• the wilderness act (law)
• suing the government for not following the wilderness act (enforcement)

Law and enforcement are closely linked, but definitely distinct.

They have the authority to create structure (pass laws) regarding foreign powers operating within the States. So they pass laws (create structure) that state the agreed-upon structure, and enable that structure to be enforced.
