Just feel things are very different now. Much harder to fight/work around with govt. And this leads to my 2nd link that, kinds of conspiracy, that we maybe already have backdoor in open source projects because they are hard to detect as long as there are pre-build tools.

Anyway, lots of feelings after reading this post…

Haha, and I smiled when I looking for the single quote in your password and sure it is there👍👍

Maybe because Linux rarely die?

This is a good read. And also looks like it does mentioned unredeemed gc balance can be (partially) considered as breakage income? ( I don’t know anything about accounting, just want to point this out)

So it is some between 2.5c to $5 kwh. Is this even possible? I scanned linked 2 pages could not find any price chart.

I am wondering if similar can happen in stock market, a penny stock no one is trading, you decide to buy/sell 1 share $10000 to yourself. Then suddenly every owner become millionaire? At least on paper, right, right? /s

At least to me, I need to re-read a few times to get that it is double negative. Which seems opposite. ( I am not native speaker of English)

There is simply no way to pre-store any arbitrary long text because the possible combination is just tooo huge. It is like draw a bullseye where you arrow landed. You search any paragraph, it search existing index, if not found then save it and assign it a new index. Of course it may use some algorithms to optimize/decrease the space needed.

From it’s wiki page, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel_(website) ‘’’ The website can generate all possible pages of 3200 characters and allows users to choose among about 10^4677 potential pages of books. ‘’’

PS, I think again, indeed this actually does not need any storage, it can be URL to text encoding/decoding, the URL itself can determine/generate the actual text. And same for the opposite direction

No, you can run it on your own homelab just fine. If you don’t have it already, you just need a (usually free) dynamic subdomain so your instance have a normal URL instead of IP.
