Crypto is a revolutionary product because it enables users to possess their own units of account.

By this reasoning, so is Monopoly money.

The Dem establishment will obviously blame anyone but themselves. That's what establishments do. That's why, assuming there are still free and fair elections in America in two years time, left wing voters in the US need to start planning now how they're going to primary out every last establishment Dem who thought that leaning right was the answer, and replace them with people who do believe in real progressive politics.

It won't work everywhere. It can't. And some of those people will inevitably get caught up in the machine, or turn out not to be what they claimed. Reality is messy. But get enough of them in and you can make a real difference. The mid-terms are the American left's opportunity to do what the right did in 2010.

But at the end of the day none of this matters, because we're just two outsiders pontificating over another country's politics. Despite how deeply those politics affect the whole world, there's nothing we can actually do about it, other than focusing on what we can do in our own back yards.

Oh yeah, that list is going to be an absolute goldmine for scammers.

And honestly, if crypto people had any self reflection at all, the fact that being overtly a crypto person makes scammers flock to them, because they have hard data showing, statistically, how gullible they are should really make them reconsider being crypto people.

Yes, they are morally culpable too. Even more so than the people who refused to vote for them.

That's the thing about ethics when you actually apply it in reality; someone else being wrong doesn't mean you're right.

So, it was worth Trump getting a second term in order for you to maintain your moral purity?

Listen, fuck Harris and every other Dem who failed to condemn the war in Gaza, they all deserve to burn in hell for that.

But did you really get what you wanted out of this?

Well, can't say fairer than that.

Yeah, I did try to stress that just because I can't envision a use for it, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. I'm totally OK with that. My question was more "Am I the idiot here for not being able to see what the use is?"

Obscurity is not the same thing as security.

You know those can be self hosted, right?

And yes, by all means just set up your own Wireguard or OpenVPN access if that's what you prefer. You do you bud.

But that implies you do have your SSH open to the world, right?

The way I access my private web interfaces remotely is through something like Netmaker, Tailscale or Zerotier. Same thing for SSH. No way in hell am I opening 22 on my router.

I'll admit, as neat as this is, I'm a little unclear on the use case? Are there really situations where it's easier to get a command prompt than it is to open a webpage?

The CLI side I can see more use for since that does expose a lot of actions to bash scripting, which could be neat. But on the whole I can't say I've ever really found myself thinking "Man, I really wish I had a UI for managing Radarr, a program that already includes a really good UI."

I know it's shitty to hate on something just because you're not the target for it. That's not my intent, it's more that I'm just fascinated by the question of how anyone has a burning need for this? It feels like there must be something I'm missing here.

Yeah, the logical inference here is that there's a strong correlation between being stupid enough to click on adverts and being stupid enough to vote for conservatives.
