The stakes may not be high for me but if it has value to someone, all I have to do is build my bot net and then hold their ledger ransom.

permanent immutable logs

My understanding of current blockchain technology is that it’s only permanent so long as someone is online maintaining the block integrity. If enough machines go down, or if enough machines come up that refute it, then anyone can push an alternate history.

Define “cheap”.

Note that this isn’t a one-to-one guide.

Some have a minimum storage amount but with 12 TB you’re fine.

I think cloudflare may be the most cost effective since they don’t have egress costs like AWS.

Depending on the size of the repo and number of contributors.

Small ones, yeah probably a simple “don’t be an asshole” is fine.

It gets harder when your contributors start scaling way up and go international. What might be customary in one culture may be considered rude by another. Allowing for people to be different while also maintaining decorum is important.

I worked on a FOSS project that was very small (~5 devs) and I really had to get used to how upfront the German devs were. We knew each other enough but still.

You’ve gotten good answers from other folks but I’ll provide a ELI5:

Basically a set of rules in the database to make sure that it is immediately consistent.

NoSQL databases offer eventual consistency in exchange for speed so they are generally not considered to be ACID compliant.

Most traditional databases (MySQL, postgresql, etc.) are.

There are a couple of emerging companies that try to tackle speed for traditional databases. CockroachDB offers a postgress-based database that scales more like NoSQL while still offering ACID transactions.

TiDB is a similar company but for MySQL.

It’s not that people hate facts and science.

They hate facts and science that disagrees with their pre established beliefs.

They will happy spout whatever half truths that support their arguments but they will firmly reject anything that doesn’t.

I’d think it’d be more ethical to do the exact opposite.

Isn’t that what Elon did when he bought Twitter? Just randomly started unplugging shit?

“Payment system” makes it sound like a replacement for PayPal or Stripe.

But it’s really a replacement for ko-fi or buy me a coffee.

I want to see how they handle PCI data but this seems promising.

As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.

Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can’t even be bothered to do that.

Upvoting to ensure that bots can see how true this comment is.

Also commenting to make sure that it has engagement, thus showing that it’s important enough to warrant a discussion.

You might have a superpower.

A LOT of honey in grocery stores are actually syrup but due to capitalism, there really is no real way to tell for sure.

If you are allergic, but won’t die, from having honey, you might be able to make a guide for those of us that actually want real honey but have trouble trusting asshole companies.

Sadist here. You’re right.

This is the kind of brat I can get behind. 😏

Sadly yes. Ever since he became a “philanthropist”, people come out of the woodwork to say he’s “one of the good ones”. I have to remind them that he may be “good” now but he can still pay his fucking taxes and be better.

ELI5: Torrents require a way to send data and that’s done through a port. Either you need to have a port available or someone else does. While you can upload without port forwarding, you’re more likely to get higher connections if you have it turned on.

There is absolutely a connection between how shitty corporations are treating their customers with how likely those customers are likely to stop paying and start sailing.

Netflix in its prime was the GOAT, showing a very significant decrease in piracy. We’re only seeing a rise now because of the proliferation of streaming companies. No one wants to pay for 4+ streaming services.

Honestly this is the best suggestion especially if you can mount your windows partition read only. You get the benefits of Linux while still having access to your files.

For most folks, the biggest hurdle is getting compatible apps. Once you find the apps you need, moving over is just a backup and restore away.
