That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

What video adapter is in there?

Have you tried dmesg over SSH? Sometimes you can get an extra message or two if the display freezes before the entire kernel does.

Sure, maybe you don’t need to put your sexual identity in a post asking for help configuring nginx, but in an introductory post where you’re explicitly describing yourself… Yeah, I think you should be allowed to mention your sexuality.

What advantage does it have over nspawn?

I’ve been playing with systemd-nspawn for my containers recently, and I’ve been enjoying it!

You could always try info

Ironic that one of the biggest complaints about AI these days is that it’s stealing from artists, and the OP couldn’t even follow the CC-BY-NC license that xkcd is released under…

That makes it a bit more clear. Thanks so much for writing that up!

Huh, so I take it from the other comments here that Kent isn’t entirely correct? Is there a summary of the back and forth so far?

Ah yes, the “gays are okay if they keep it to the bedroom” attitude.

So long story short, the anti-cheat software can detect if you’re using a different signing key?
