500k in seed.txt on a dev box is criminally irresponsible

this. folks just end up being smarmy snobs about what is universal truth when the goal should be leveraging this knowledge to produce new things/ideas

ive always thought the ethereum ecosystem would give demoscene a revival. storing the demos on chain adds a new layer of complexity where the bigger the size the more expensive to deploy.

+1 to dn42 to play with routing in a really big cool environment. it’s been years since i participated but i hope it’s doing well. the work one would have to do to mimic the env is just infeasible.

off topic: i always thought mini internets like dn42 would be a super cool place to run secret/private services. fun to imagine.

maybe it’s hard for these exec types to understand that the subordinates they thought loved them actually despise them. then they write articles like this.

i just happen to try this game recently... is it just a micromanager sim? seems like (early game at least) i am just micro managing a bunch of trucks and trains telling them where to go individually.

you should include seed phrase and private key detection. a few crypto protocols that offer public docker images have been drained from accidentally committing keys to docker hub.

there is a potential downside to this kind of action.

i nuked a scam caller once with a killer deez nutz joke. the guy went bonkers when he realized. i think it was ligma or bofa or something. that day i won a battle.

since then i receive 25+ calls a day. i had to enable call blocking from unknown numbers. unfortunately i sometimes have to disable this feature when expecting calls.

you may win a battle and walk away with a cool war story but you will lose the war a million times over.

one day when you’re permanently disabled because a bum hit you with a wrench unprovoked, remember to apologize to them for putting them in that position.

everyone acting so shocked here probably hasn’t had your home robbed, your car windows broken, or been assaulted and/or robbed by a drugged out bum.

at some point enough is enough and they gotta go.

i think it’s a juvenile attitude to look down your nose at the endless victims and tell them to just be more understanding of the hardships the homeless face.

while criminals are pretty individualistic, they work in groups. eggs get broken to make the omelette, cost of doing business, etc.

not to mention criminals can stash money and retrieve it when they are released.

tldr - the idea of doing enough crime to save a lot of money and live on it on the other side, is pretty appealing to a lot of ppl.

ipv6 has been “around the corner” since 2010 and it sucks we’re trying to force a protocol everyone hates. i get all the reasons it’s great but when everyone on earth hates a single thing all together maybe it’s a sign???
