Can't confirm, have been running stuff on Hetzner for almost 10 years. They will indeed auto-block you if any application is spamming the private subnet - happens e.g. with IPFS ru…

Bitcoin would have remained the obscure crypto-economic experiment it was 10 years ago if it weren't for the rotten monetary system we have creating strong incentives to look for a…

which may even be technically true - if measured in quantitative terms :-)

As long as we stick to the concept of nation, we likely have to live with such issues. This is how group identity works, sometimes to your advantage, sometimes to your disadvantage…

Here in Europe it's often the opposite. E.g. in Austrian cities you have decent bicycle infrastructure and everything in reach in the cities while in rural areas that's often not t…

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that when large scale network effects are involved.

You should probably not listen to random YouTubers, but to people having something to say. I suggest starting from aantonop.com

That's indeed true for many DAO designs. I often wonder if those proposing such designs don't understand that or if they just don't care. It is however not inherent to DAOs. If you…

Disabling automatic updates is always one of the first things I do on a new Android phone. I would happily enable it selectively for a few Apps of my choice (e.g. the browser), but…

omg, somebody built it! Will immediately try that.

thx for sharing this!

Maybe it would. Or maybe one of them would have blown up (lets say e.g. on 9.11.2001) and due to bad luck (winds not blowing onto the pacific, but towards densely populated areas d…

I too never got this. Have learned using bare metal before AWS was around. Took a look at AWS in 2008 and decided that it was interesting, but nothing I had use for at the time. Si…
