Reminds of the dead baby jokes from my day. Like why? Too horrible to be funny.

Cryptocurrency is not necessarily anonymous. Buying bitcoin from a broker leaves a record connecting your payment method to your wallet. Even if you mine them yourself, doesn’t your IP address show up on the public ledger? I guess if you somehow bought bitcoin in cash…
Is there a more private cryptocurrency I’m not considering?
I have to run the .ps1 script in a new Command Prompt because the compilation takes a few minutes
I don’t follow this reasoning. Is it because you don’t want to take over the VSCode terminal with a long command? Couldn’t you can open multiple tabs, or run in the background, or use screen/tmux, etc.?
The implications of “magic is data” are fun. It leads to stories like Unsong where you can brute-force enumerate incantations until you find a good one. I also like the concept of Wizard’s Bane. I haven’t read it, but my understanding is that magic turns out to be Turing-complete, and the protagonist creates a LISP evaluator in magic, which enables them to outcast their enemies who are still doing the magical equivalent of writing assembly.
The wizard on the wall (disguised as a skeleton) uses NixOS and also happens to declare their incantations in the Nix language.
For completeness, we should review the involuntarily uploaded data as well.
Until then, we have simdjson https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson
Won’t someone please think of the children…'s unkicked faces
I imagine that you simply snap your fingers and a serf brings over a step stool
I didn’t have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn’t funny to me. Guess you had to be there.
How does that stop a brute force attack? As written, it only stops the single luckiest brute force attack that happens to get the password right on their first try.
A honeypot!
Don’t you go giving me ideas for a new esoteric programming language.
Check out git-annex: https://git-annex.branchable.com/
It’s super cool if you know git. It lets you track where your files are without having them all in the same place. You could have a bunch of disconnected hard disks, and git-annex will remember where you put your stuff.
You can also set a minimum number of copies and it will only let you delete stuff from one place when it’s sure there are sufficient copies elsewhere.
I do not recommend using the assistant (edit: nor the webapp) if you’re planning on ever reviewing the repo’s history. It generated a bajillion automatic commits that drown out any handwritten commit messages.
