I think emissions are a different issue. Which is more _wasteful_? I would argue Bitcoin, and dangerously so, because its upper bound of potential energy usage is infinite. Coal, on the other hand, is not wasted (burning coal without using

I don't believe it does. The same phenomenon can occur with a renewable energy source. Remote renewable energy source (solar, hydro etc), not grid connected, could attract the same sort of Bitcoin mining system and even claim to be &#x

This is a tool (like ngrok, or inlets, or sish etc) for easily opening a port on your local computer to the public internet. So, for example, if you are hosting a web server locally on port 8080, you could ssh to a service like this, and th

I used to use a similar tool called inlets but they removed the open licensing. I now self host a sish server ( https://github.com/antoniomika/sish ) which also uses ssh (and public key auth) for the reverse tunnel clien

This is great - thanks very much for mentioning it. Creating an account now! ARM might be tricky but for zero dollars might be some fun.

unfortunately the 2gb RAM is the one thing I feel constrained by - I mostly use it with code-server and even the default TypeScript language server is a bit too much sometimes.

As a software guy married to a lawyer, be careful what you wish for. The legal industry seems hell bent on inefficiency and fuzzy regulations.

I live in an offshore jurisdiction. They have reputations - but 'tax efficiency' is just one factor of many. Others would be how stable the legal system is / how often do laws change / what regulations are optimised for
