Private CAs are the enterprise solution, but that can get expensive or difficult to manage for a home setup. You could get a cert for a wildcard subdomain and then use whatever private subdomains you want on your home network

This plan doesn't really scale to the 2000 wallets mentioned in the OP. But maybe that scenario only comes up when you're looking to launder billions of dollars worth of BTC?

Wouldn't investigators look at the provenance address for one of those 100 transactions? That seems like a dangerous prank.

My dude, "nothing in history" is a very strong statement. You should read up about what state actors did to limit the spread of the plague. I'm sure someone could find something older, but lockdowns are attested to as a publi

Yeah, that's not how precedent works. Precedent is used to justify the means, not to point out that past actions had the same or similar ends.

by giaour 5y ago
The operative word there is "similar."

Quarantines are not a novel or exotic public health measure. Try again. You specifically called out the government making you quit smoking or forcing you to eat better in your original post.
827.
by giaour 5y ago
In this case, the precedent would be *vaccine mandates*, not government-mandated kale with every meal. You're conflating mandates for which there are precedents with completely novel and exotic government actions.

by giaour 5y ago
I don't think that's comparable at all. If you don't want to get vaccinated but your employer has a mandate, you can quit. Similarly, your employer can fire you if there is no reasonable accommodation for your medical conditi

I think Emacs has the same kind of user base and accomplishes the same tasks as IntelliJ or VS Code, so let's call it an IDE for the purposes of this discussion.

Have you ever heard the phrase "spinning rust" used with reverence? I can assure you that those phrases are indeed taking the piss out of the topic.

by giaour 5y ago
VS Code is another program that I think does search in settings very well. I can't think of a program that isn't an IDE that has taken this approach, though.

Manhattan, Seattle, the Bay Area. I haven't rented anywhere other than that, so I don't know how it works outside of those markets (which are admittedly unique as far as market fundamentals go). I paid $1400/month for rent on

What markets have you rented in? I have been a renter in NYC, Seattle, and the Bay Area; every single time, I looked up how much the property last sold for and calculated how much a mortgage on it would cost me per month. My rent was normal

I am aware; I was a renter until a couple of years ago. I have rented houses in the East Bay (Alameda, CA) and Seattle, and in each case, my rent was 70%-80% of what the monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage on the same house would have bee

Notably, The Mandalorian used puppetry for all the aliens. Using CGI for backgrounds but practical effects for stuff the cast actually interacts with seemed to work really well.

Because that's how it normally works? Why would any renter pay that much? If they have that much disposable income each month, they could just buy instead of renting.

by giaour 5y ago
Normally, rent on a property is significantly less than the monthly payment on a 30-year mortgage on the same property. Where were you renting out spaces where people were willing to tolerate rent that high?
