HW/FW security researcher & Demoscene elder.

I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

    I don’t think the OS is the problem - it’s that some of the critical service/apps people rely on (government ID, banking) only exist for the closed systems. Third party OS’s try to “solve” it through various container approaches running the official apps, but since they see that as a security problem it’s not something you can fully trust to be working at all times.





  • I have two higher educations since tuition is free here. I’m in good health, since healthcare is also free. I took out 18 months of paternity leave with our firstborn since we’re an equal society and my girlfriend (now wife) at the time was at uni.

    I have no issues queueing, waiting for my turn. I consider all others to have as much rights as I do to anything, no one is ever “above”.

    … so I’m from … ?


  • That’s one definition of blockchain. Since the solution to the Byzantine Generals’ problem in Bitcoin is done by Proof of Work it can’t be said to be a part of the blockchain definition since there are many (most?) blockchains that don’t use PoW. Some companies peddling “blockchain solutions” even use central authorities.

    So, with “blockchain” just being a chain of cryptographically verified blocks then git indeed fulfills that definition.
