    can't break some of the encrypted filesystems, so instead I recommend on-site penetration of the system with operator who knows the password and the $1 wrench from a dollar store. We found there is no need for the $5 wrench.

    as for #2, don't underestimate the marketing wanks that need to justify their existence. their influence (and effluence) is a major building block of our society. There is big money in copying instead of innovating, spin, lies and blowing sunshine up peoples' asses

    everyone should be forced to use honest to goodness U.S. dollars which can't be used to buy such things.

    Oh wait, the global black market moves 2 trillion dollars a year, more than TEN times the value of all crypto currencies combined.

    I think cc are stupid, but the argument of empowering crime pales next to what "real money" is doing.

    for fast, you should see a server when systemd goes full retard and takes everything up and down again in an endless cycle. it does that really really fast.

    I've yet to meet a serious systems admin in charge of hundreds or thousands of servers that thinks systemd is good think. they all say something akin to "maggot infested shit" in more diplomatic tones

    damn small linux can go down to 16MB on 486

    more RAM is recommended though 8D

  22. U.S. dollar and stocks and bonds are also "imaginary thing without tangible value"

    that said, crytocurrencies are terrible as money: illiquid and hugely volatile. bad solution.

  23. I've been doing "decentralized transactions" all my life for decades, before cryptocurrency
