Another day in trying to earn exclusively in bitcoin. I recently quit my job because I was tired of feeling dependent on the employer, of the illusion of stability.
... but the latter is worse, because (a) it doesn't need sudoer's privileges, and (b) it mocks you with a perfectly-working system that is devoid of your data.
One way to avoid that is to put alias mv="mv -i" in your bashrc file. The -i will tell you when you're about to overwrite something. But, you have to remember to put that in the bashrc on each server (ideally in the systemwide default bashrc file).
These sorts of command-line mistakes are unavoidable on most OSes, owing to the fact that most OSes were/are written in glorified assembly macro languages (e.g. C, Rust, etc).
Aliases like this can also be dangerous since you get used to your environment.
When you are in a different environment, you may run a potentially dangerous command excepting safeguards.
Good morning everyone, hope you had an amazing weekend, fully recharged and ready to go, it's a tad cool Monday over here in Playa but sunny so enough to get some vitamin D from the sun, put a smile on your face and pass it along the way, it will make wonders on you. I wish you a fantastic beginning of the week and success. Be well and stay frosty!!
I'm not very knowledgeable about HN, but I'm sure there is plenty of overlap between the sites. Maybe an influential HN poster reading your posts here might take up the fight?
for a site that calls itself "hacker news", I'm shocked how settled, middle-class, house in the suburbs, "get away from questioning my comfortable normie life" it has become. Anything bitcoin and/or crypto-related (no difference for them) gets a kneejerk anti-reaction, they don't even engage with any argument. Same with anything that tells them how a neocolonial, exploitative world actually works. Hacker News prefers the New Yorker (magazine) crowd to the CCC crowd, nowadays, it seems.
HackerNews hasn’t been about hacking for many many years now. It’s about corporate engineers clamouring for the next $250k paycheck. That’s because they reached scale.
I’m beginning to think in general that there’s no efficient way to accelerate the transition or onboard normies. Just know that gravity will prevail.
People cannot see the flaws in any existing system, until the moment that they are ready. They need to have an epiphany, not just stumble upon a small comment on an existing site they read.
People disagree that there exists a problem, let alone that there is a solution to said problem. And worst of all these poor people disagree that they should even entertain discussion about alternatives. As you say, to them it’s disrupting to the comfort of their current existence, to even have the conversation, rather than do any legitimate research or have any debate.
People will need to be find their way by their finger being burnt by the existing structures. By seeing its flaws first hand.
This is why I believe that the theory saying how Bitcoin will suck-up everything into a black hole, I believe, are wrong.
The existing system from the coming years is not compatible with this growing network. Both will likely run in parallel but they will not be interoperable as they are today. The existing system and those who are aligned with it, will defend it to the end. That alternative is not a black hole, the existing system is the black hole for itself.
Perhaps I will write-up a long form article on this theme in the coming days. I know there’s a lot of metaphorical content out there already in the community, but this one topic I believe is under-appreciated. Especially as we are witnessing it first hand, in examples like this with HN
