It looks like history does repeat itself.

It’s a shame that the article appears to have been edited since.

If you’re willing to donate bandwidth, I suggest I2P or a public SyncThing node. My server chews through a terabyte of bandwidth helping people securely access their files. I also run Tor’s Snowflake proxy which helps users reach the network.

I2P is Java. SyncThing and Snowflake are written in Go which means you can’t pull off typical memory corruption attacks in these relatively safe languages, and it’s fairly easy to run them in a container.

I don’t feel like it makes a huge difference for me and I run quite a few servers. It’s mainly the cooling costs in the summer months that run up the bill.

BOINC is great. In its day, you could get an enormous amount of computing power on a shoestring budget thanks to volunteers. It also helped the volunteers feel like they were more a part of something, because they were! I used to have a small server farm crunching numbers for science.

Unfortunately, the landscape has changed. Some projects are still around, but many of the big players have left. Computing power is a lot more accessible now, and the main limitation is time spent analyzing the data rather than the computation itself. Cloud computing can make just about any computation happen fast for a reasonable price without having to own all of that hardware. GPUs have exploded in computation capacity. Just, a lot of factors came together where the need isn’t as great.

With that said, I still run it on one mini PC, but the payoff for having to write your application in a distributed fashion doesn’t have the return on investment that it used to.

Injustice department.

I think the performance could be reasonable at the right price point. The Snapdragon laptops have been a flop mainly because of poor software support and over-promising that all your software would work. The reality is that a lot of software is still broken today, and the type of consumer who can have their needs met by the limited state of the system can be satisfied by a cheaper laptop.

They’re just here to collect rent and do some insider trading.

A seven hour bubble bath in fact, using all the hot water in town.

Ignorance is strength. Sickness is health.

They’re actually big fans of wealth redistribution. They just believe that it should be even less equitable than it already is.

These people are straight up evil, like cartoon villain evil. There isn’t an argument.

I can assure you that you need the money way more than they do.

If they’re making America so great, why is it collapsing all around me?

Sometimes you can simply not report the tips at all, particularly cash tips.

Didn’t recent news come out that it was actually a purchase, or was that disinformation?

You don’t want anything that advertises next generation encryption. You want tried and true encryption. You want boring encryption.

You said traitor twice.

Great time to try wireless charging if you have a device that supports it.
